Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

This study focuses on a new way to help children and young adults with high-risk blood cancers that are in remission, but likely to return. It involves using special blood-making cells and white blood cells from a partially matched family member. These cells are altered in a lab before being transplanted into the patient. This study aims to test if this method, combined with chemotherapy and specific cell infusions, can be safe and effective in preventing the cancer from coming back. This approach is important because it offers a possible solution for patients who do not have a fully matched donor available, potentially improving their chances of survival. Participants in this study will receive a series of treatments involving chemotherapy and antibodies to prepare their body for the transplant. This preparation includes several medications given over a few days. After this, the altered donor blood cells are infused into the patient, followed by another set of donor cells about two weeks later. If the cancer type involves a specific marker, CD19+, an additional medication called Blinatumomab may be given to further help prevent cancer recurrence. The study will closely monitor the patients to evaluate the safety and effects of these treatments on their health and disease progression.

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details

30 patients to be enrolled

Total number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.

Treatment Study

These studies test new ways to treat a disease, condition, or health issue. The goal is to see if a new drug, therapy, or approach works better or has fewer side effects than existing options.



Eligibility

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria: person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Treatment Groups

Group I

Experimental
Prior to the infusion of donor cells, a preparative regimen consisting of antibodies and chemotherapy will be given. The preparative regimen includes the following total dosages: ATG 5mg/kg (over days -12 to -10); Cyclophosphamide 60 mg/kg (day -9); Fludarabine 150 mg/m2 (over days -8 to -4); Thiotepa 10 mg/kg (divided in two doses on day -3); Melphalan 70 mg/m2 (over days -2 to -1). Following this regimen the TCRαβ-depleted haploidentical donor product will be given on day 0 (subsequent infusion given on day +1 if needed to achieve goal CD34+ cell dose. Approximately 2 weeks later the memory cell donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) will be given at a dose previously determined to be safe and effective. Blinatumomab will be empirically added for patients with CD19+ malignancy and given at least four weeks after the memory cell DLI.
