A Phase 2 Trial in Patients With Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome Undergoing Reduced Intensity or Non-myeloablative Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation With Orca-T
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Orca-T in participants undergoing reduced intensity or non-myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (alloHCT) for hematologic malignancies. Orca-T is an allogeneic stem cell and T-cell immunotherapy biologic manufactured for each patient (transplant recipient) from the mobilized peripheral blood of a specific, unique donor. It is composed of purified hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), purified regulatory T cells (Tregs), and conventional T cells (Tcons).
• Age ≥18 years at the time of enrollment
• Diagnosed with 1 of the following diseases:
∙ Acute myeloid, or mixed phenotype leukemia in complete remission (CR) or CR with incomplete hematologic recovery (CRi), with or without the presence of known minimal residual disease.
‣ Myelodysplastic syndrome that is indicated for alloHCT per the 2017 International Expert Panel recommendations and/or therapy-related/secondary MDS as defined by the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of myeloid malignancies, with ≤10% blast burden in the bone marrow.
• Planned to undergo 1 of the following preparative regimens as per Investigator discretion:
∙ RIC cohort 1: Planned RIC-alloHCT including RIC regimen with TBI/thiotepa/fludarabine
‣ NMA cohort 2: Planned NMA-alloHCT including NMA regimen with fludarabine/cyclophosphamide/TBI
• Identified sibling or unrelated donor who is an 8/8 match for HLA-A, -B, -C, and -DRB1
• Estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥30 mL/minute
• Cardiac ejection fraction at rest ≥40% or shortening fraction of ≥22% by echocardiogram or radionuclide scan (MUGA)
• Diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (adjusted for hemoglobin) ≥40%
• Negative serum or urine β-HCG test in women of childbearing potential
• Alanine transaminase (ALT)/aspartate transaminase (AST) \<5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)
⁃ Total bilirubin \<3 × ULN
⁃ Deemed ineligible for a fully myeloablative alloHCT per assessment of the principal investigator
