Introduction 
This is a treatment guideline for a haploidentical bone marrow transplant (Haplo-BM) 
using reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) for patients with a hematologic disease for 
whom a matched donor or umbilical cord blood is not available.  There is no research 
element except the collection of routine clinical data. 
Patients will consent to allow routine clinical data to be collected and maintained in 
OnCore, the Masonic Cancer Center’s (MCC) clinical database, and specific transplant 
related endpoints in the University Of Minnesota Blood and Bone Marrow Database as 
part of the historical database maintained by the department.   
Endpoints include survival at 2 years post-transplant, hematopoietic engraftment, 
chimerism at day 100, 6 months and 1 year, acute GVHD at 100 days, chronic GVHD at 
1 year, and transplant related mortality (TRM) at 6 months.    
 
2.0 
Background and Rationale 
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is widely used as a curative therapy 
for number of hematological diseases. Reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) opened 
opportunities for older patients and those with comorbid conditions to be eligible for 
potentially curable transplantation.1-5 However, donor availability still remains significant 
challenge for large number of patients as HLA-identical matched sibling (MSD) or adult 
unrelated donor (MUD) is available only for about 60% of the patients.6 In addition, the 
data from the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) indicate that median time from 
donor search to adult MUD transplant is about 3-4 months, this time delay infrequently 
increases the risk of malignancy relapse in some patients with aggressive diseases.1,2 
Since adult MUD is generally not readily available for many patients with hematological 
malignancies who are in need for urgent HCT, recent years number of transplant centers 
widely expended the use of alternative graft sources such as umbilical cord blood (UCB) 
or haploidentical grafts. 1-5,7-11 Although UCB is timely available for most of the 
Caucasian patients, its availability is significantly less for ethnic minorities such as 
African Americans or Asians. Furthermore, significantly high cost of UCB as compared 
to other donor sources remains an additional limitation. In contrast, lower cost and easy 
accessibility of haploidentical transplantation (haploHCT) makes it an attractive 
alternative graft source. First-degree relative haploidentical donor is available for more 
than 95% of individuals with an average of 2.7 such donors number per patient.6,12 Initial 
experience with haploidentical transplantation using T-cell replete allograft was 
disappointing with unacceptably high incidence of severe graft versus host disease 
(GVHD) and non relapse mortality (NRM) in about half of the patients.1314,15 However, 
when T-cells were depleted and non-myeloablative (NMA) preparative regimen was used

there was an excessive risk of graft failure. Engraftment was improved with the infusion 
of mega-doses of CD34 + cells (over 10x106 cells/kg) and/or when myeloablative 
conditioning regimens were used.9,12,16 On the other hand T-cell depleted myeloablative 
regimens were associated with significantly increased mortality from serious infections 
and poor immune reconstitution as reported by the European Group for Blood and 
Marrow Transplantation (EBMT) 16 Several strategies are still under development to 
promote T-cell tolerance and reduce the risk of GVHD without affecting immune 
reconstitution. These approaches include the adoptive therapy of pathogen-specific T-
cells,17-21  T-cells engineered to express suicide genes,22-24 regulatory T-cells (Tregs),25,26 
alloreactive donor T-cell ex-vivo photodepletion.27,28, ex vivo anergy induction by 
costimulation blockade,29,30 ex vivo selective depletion of T-cells,31-33 and more recently 
the administration of high-dose post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PT-Cy).10,34-37  
PT-Cy approach has become more widely used by many transplant centers in recent years 
given its ease of administration and low cost. PT-Cy leads to in vivo depletion of 
alloreactive T-cells that helps reducing both graft rejection and GVHD rates.38 Recent 
study by Munchel and colleagues reported 87% sustained engraftment, 27% grades II-IV 
acute GVHD and 13% chronic GVHD rates among 210 haploHCT recipients with 5-year 
non-relapse mortality (NRM) of only 18%, relapse incidence of 55% and overall survival 
(OS) of 35%.34 Another study by Ciurea and colleagues compared the clinical outcomes 
of 65 haploHCT recipients with T-cell replete BMT/PT-Cy versus T-cell depleted 
peripheral blood HCT. They demonstrated superiority of T-cell replete BMT/PT-Cy with 
significant lower 1-year NRM (16% vs.42%, p=0.03), chronic GVHD rate (8% vs. 18%, 
p=0.03), and superior progression free (PFS) (45% vs. 21%, p=0.03) and OS (66% vs. 
30%, p=0.02).35 Several recent studies suggest improvement of immune reconstitution 
with preserved memory T-cells when PT-Cy is used in T-cell replete haploHCT.34,36 
Bashey and colleagues identified comparable relapse rate, DFS and OS were identified 
between haploHCT/PT-Cy and MSD or adult MUD transplant.10 Another group of 
investigators from China retrospectively compared the outcome of 117 patients with 
various hematological malignancies receiving MSD (n=36) and haploidentical bone 
marrow transplant (haplo-BM, n=81). They showed higher incidence of grade II-IV acute 
GVHD in haploHCT group as compared to MSD group (49% v. 24%, p=0.014), but 
lower 2-year relapse rate (26% vs. 49%, p=0.008), which resulted to better 3-year 
probability of OS among haploHCT recipients (42% vs. 20%, p=0.048).39 Brunstein and 
colleagues reported the outcomes of patients with haplo-BM/PT-Cy (BMT CTN 0603, 
n=50) and UCB transplantation (BMT CTN 0604, n=50) after RIC in Blood and Marrow 
Transplant Clinical trials Network (BMT-CTN) 2 parallel multicenter phase 2 trials.8 
Eligibility criteria for the two trials were the identical. The target accrual of 50 patients 
per trial was achieved in just 20 months (16 months faster than expected).  Recipients of 
haplo-BM were conditioned with Flu 30 mg/m2/day IV daily from Days  -6 to -2 (total 
dose of 150 mg/m2), Cy 14.5 mg/kg IV on Day -6 and -5, and 2 Gy TBI in a single

fraction on Day -1 (Figure 1).  GVHD prophylaxis consisted of Cy 50 mg/kg IV on Days 
3 and 4 followed by MMF and tacrolimus beginning on Day 5, with CsA as an acceptable 
substitution for tacrolimus.  Filgrastim 5 mcg/kg/day was initiated on post-transplantation 
Day 5 and continued until the ANC was ≥ 1000/µL for three consecutive days. 
2.1 
Patient Characteristics Receiving Haplo-BM per BMT-CTN0603  
Characteristics of the patients enrolled in haploHCT are summarized in Table 1 
(BMT CT 0603).  
Fifty patients were treated according to the protocol and included in the report.  
Seventeen donors were siblings of the recipient, 15 were parents and 18 were 
children.  More than three quarters of the HLA-haploidentical related donors were 
mismatched for four or more HLA loci using high-resolution typing (HLA-A, -B, 
-C, -DRB1, and –DQB1) in both the graft-versus-host and host-versus-graft 
directions.

Hematopoietic Recovery and Chimerism 
After haplo-BM the cumulative incidence of neutrophil recovery >500/µL at Day 
56 was 96% (95%CI, 90-100%) with a median time to recovery of 16 days (range, 
12-83).  The cumulative incidence of platelet recovery ≥ 20,000/µL at Day 100 
was 98% (95%CI, 93-100%) with a median time to recovery of 24 days (range, 1-
92).  The corresponding probability for platelets ≥ 50,000/µL was 76% (95%CI, 
64-88%) with a median time to recovery of 26 days (range, 1-126).  There was 
one case of primary graft failure.  This patient did not receive a second transplant 
and died on Day 67.  Median donor chimerism in marrow or peripheral blood was 
100% (range 72-100%) on Day 28 and 100% (range 0-100%) on Day 56 after 
transplantation.

2.3 
Graft-Versus-Host Disease 
After haplo-BM transplantation, the cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute 
GVHD at Day +100 were 32% (95% CI, 19-45%).  There were no reported cases 
of grade III-IV acute GVHD.  The cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD at 1 
year was 13% (95% CI, 3-23%). 
2.4 
Treatment-Related-Mortality, Relapse, and Survival 
After haplo-BM, the median follow-up of surviving patients was 357 days (range 
103-441).  The 1-year cumulative incidence of TRM was 7% (95% CI, 0-15%) 
and of relapse/progression was 45% (95% CI, 30-61%; Figure 2A).  Sixteen 
patients have died: 13 from relapse, 2 from infection, and 1 from graft failure. 
Six-month survival, which was the primary endpoint, was 84% (95%CI, 70-92%).  
The 1-year probability of progression-free survival was 48% (95% CI, 32-62%) 
and overall survival 62% (95% CI, 44-76%; Figure 2B). 
The BMT CTN haplo-BM results (0603) may even be a little better than those 
initially reported by Johns Hopkins,11 probably because of inclusion of somewhat 
better-risk 
patients 
in 
the 
BMT CTN trial. 
These results of 
the RIC followed 
by haploidentical 
related 
(0603) 
transplantation in 
multicenter Phase 
II trials are quite 
encouraging. This 
set the stage for

transplantation to almost all patients lacking an HLA-identical donor and for 
those requiring potentially curative urgent transplantation. 
   
3.0 
Patient Selection  
3.1 
Age, Graft Cell Dose and Graft HLA Criteria 
Must be <75 years old with no 7/8 or 8/8 HLA-matched sibling donor.  Patients ≥ 
70 and ≤ 75 years of age may be eligible if they have a Co-Morbidity score ≤ 2 
(http://www.qxmd.com/calculate-online/hematology/hct-ci) 
One or more potential related mismatched donors (e.g. biologic parent (s) or 
siblings (full or half) or children).  Low resolution using DNA based typing at 
HLA-A, -B and –DRB1 for potential haploidentical donors is required. 
Patients and donor must be HLA typed at high resolution using DNA based 
typing at the following HLA-loci: HLA-A, -B, -C and DRB1 and have available: 
A related haploidentical BM donor with 2, 3, or 4 HLA-mismatches.  A 
unidirectional mismatch in either the graft versus host or host versus graft 
direction is considered a mismatch.  The donor and recipient must be HLA 
identical for at least one antigen (using high resolution DNA based typing) at the 
following genetic loci: HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, and HLA-DRB1.  Fulfillment of 
this criterion shall be considered sufficient evidence that the donor and recipient 
share one HLA haplotype, and typing of additional family members is not 
required.   
Donors will consent to and be enrolled in the University of Minnesota 
Procedure Guidelines For Related Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donors 
(MT2012-14C).  Refer to that document for donor related eligibility and 
procedures. 
Donor Prioritization: 
In the event that two or more eligible donors are identified, the following order of 
priority is suggested but NOT mandated: 
• For cytomegalovirus (CMV) seronegative recipients, a CMV seronegative 
donor 
• Red blood cell compatibility 
• RBC cross-match compatible 
• Minor ABO incompatibility 
• Major ABO incompatibility

requires chemotherapy for cytoreduction to <5% blasts prior to transplantation. 
 
Relapsed Large-Cell Lymphoma, Mantle-Cell Lymphoma and Hodgkin 
Lymphoma that is chemotherapy sensitive and has failed or ineligible for an 
autologous transplant. 
 
Lymphoplasmacytic Lymphoma is eligible after initial therapy if chemotherapy 
sensitive. 
 
Relapsed Multiple Myeloma that is chemotherapy sensitive and has failed or

leukemia/small 
lymphocytic 
lymphoma 
(CLL/SLL), marginal zone B-cell lymphoma, follicular lymphoma, which have 
progressed within 12 months of achieving a partial or complete remission. 
Patients who had remissions lasting > 12 months, are eligible after at least two 
prior therapies. Patients with bulky disease should be considered for de-bulking 
chemotherapy before transplant.  Patients with refractory disease are eligible, 
unless has bulky disease and an estimated tumor doubling time of less than one 
month.

Refractory leukemia or MDS in aplasia.  These patients may be taken to 
transplant if after induction therapy they remain with aplastic bone marrow and no 
morphological or flow-cytometry evidence of disease ≥ 28 days post-therapy. 
These high risk patients will be analyzed separately.  
 
Acquired bone marrow failure syndromes 
 
Myeloproliferative neoplasms/myelofibrosis  
Relapsed T-Cell Lymphoma that is chemotherapy sensitive in CR/PR that has 
failed or ineligible for an autologous transplant. 
Other Leukemia Subtypes:  A major effort in the field of hematology is to identify 
patients who are of high risk for treatment failure so that patients can be 
appropriately stratified to either more (or less) intensive therapy.  This effort is 
continually ongoing and retrospective studies identify new disease features or 
characteristics that are associated with treatment outcomes.  Therefore, if new 
features are identified after the writing of this protocol, patients can be enrolled 
with the approval of two members of the study committee.  
3.3 
Organ Function and Performance Status Criteria  
Adequate organ function is defined as:  
Cardiac: Absence of decompensated congestive heart failure, or uncontrolled 
arrhythmia and left ventricular ejection fraction ≥40%.  For children that are not 
able to cooperate with MUGA and echocardiography, such should be clearly 
stated in the physician’s note 
Pulmonary: DLCO, FEV1, FVC ≥ 40% predicted, and absence of O2 
requirements. For children that are not able to cooperate with PFTs, a pulse 
oximetry with exercise should be attempted.  If nether test can be obtained it

In order to provide optimal patient care and to account for individual medical conditions, 
investigator discretion may be used in the prescribing of all supportive care therapy (i.e. 
acetaminophen, diphenhydramine, G-CSF, antimicrobials, etc.).    
 
Corticosteroids may not be used as an anti-emetic agent and should not be administered 
until 24 hours after the completion of post-transplantation cyclophosphamide, unless used 
for adrenal support or during a medical emergency (e.g. treatment of anaphylaxis).

5.1 
Transplant Preparative Therapy (day -6 through day -1) 
All drugs will be prepared and administered per institutional guidelines, with the 
drugs, doses and scheduled modified as clinically indicated.   
Fludarabine  
Fludarabine 30 mg/m2/day will be administered over 30-60 minutes intravenous 
infusion on Days –6 through –2 for a total dose of 150 mg/m2.   
Fludarabine will be dosed according to the recipient’s actual body weight.  For 
patients who have an estimated or measured GFR < 70 ml/min/1.73 m2, prior

CNS disease, prior brain radiation, or prior intrathecal chemotherapy, the 
fludarabine dose should be reduced by 20%.  The fludarabine dose should be the 
same on Days -6 to -2, even if the patient’s creatinine changes.   
Fludarabine must be administered before cyclophosphamide on Days -6 and -5. 
Pre-Transplantation Cyclophosphamide 
Hydration prior to cyclophosphamide may be given according to institutional 
standards.  A recommended approach is as follows: Patients are instructed to 
increase fluids overnight before cyclophosphamide administration.  Hydration 
with normal saline at 3 ml/kg/hr IV will be started 2 hours prior to 
cyclophosphamide, then the rate will be reduced to 2 ml/kg/hr for 1 hour pre-
cyclophosphamide and continued at 2 ml/kg/hour for 8 hours post-
cyclophosphamide.   
 
Uroprotection is administered according to institutional guidelines.  Mesna is 
recommended to accompany pre-transplantation cyclophosphamide, but is not 
required.  The mesna dose will be based on the cyclophosphamide dose being 
given.  A suggested approach is as follows: divided doses IV 30 min pre- and at 3, 
6, and 8 hours post-cyclophosphamide.  The total daily dose of mesna should be ≥ 
80% of the total daily dose of cyclophosphamide.   
 
Cyclophosphamide 14.5 mg/kg/day will be administered as a 1-2 hour 
intravenous infusion on Days –6 and –5.  Cyclophosphamide will be dosed 
according to the recipient’s ideal body weight (IBW), unless the patient weighs 
more than 125% of IBW, in which case the drug will be dosed according to the 
adjusted IBW.   
 
Total Body Irradiation (TBI) 
200 cGy TBI will be administered in a single fraction on Day –1 per institutional 
standards.   
5.2 
Transplant (day 0) 
On Day 0, patients will receive unprocessed marrow unless there is a major ABO 
incompatibility, in which case red blood cells will be depleted from the donor 
marrow using institutional practices.  Institutional practices will determine if there 
will be processing for minor ABO incompatibilities.   
Donor bone marrow will be harvested with a target yield of 4 x 108 nucleated 
cells/kg recipient IBW, and a recommended minimum yield of 2.5 x 108 nucleated 
cells/kg of recipient IBW.  It is recommended not to take more than 10 mL per 
aspirate.

September 29, 2016 
Page 18 of 30 
CPRC# 2013OC116 
In addition to calculating the total nucleated cell dose /kg, a sample of the product 
to be infused will be sent for flow cytometry to determine the content of 
CD34+cells.   
The use of cryopreserved marrow is not recommended.   
5.3 
Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide (days 3 and 4) 
Hydration and uroprotection may be given according to institutional standards.  
See Section 5.1 for a recommended strategy. 
Cyclophosphamide 50mg/kg will be given as an IV infusion over 1-2 hours 
(depending on volume) on Days 3 post-transplant (between 60 and 72 hours after 
marrow infusion) and on Day 4 post-transplant (approximately 24 hours after Day 
3 cyclophosphamide).  Cyclophosphamide will be dosed according to the 
recipient’s ideal body weight (IBW), unless the patient weighs more than 125% of 
IBW, in which case the drug will be dosed according to the adjusted IBW.  
5.4 
Immunosuppressive Therapy (begin day 5) 
Tacrolimus will be given at a dose of 1 mg IV daily or 1 mg PO bid, and then 
will be changed to a PO dosing schedule once a therapeutic level is achieved or as 
per institutional standards.  Tacrolimus prophylaxis will begin on Day 5 post-
transplant.  Serum levels of tacrolimus will be measured around Day 7 and then 
should be checked weekly thereafter and the dose adjusted accordingly to 
maintain a trough level of 5-15 ng/mL.  Tacrolimus will be discontinued after the 
last dose around Day 180, or may be continued if active GVHD is present.   
Cyclosporine (trough level of 200-400 ng/ml) may be substituted for tacrolimus if 
the patient is intolerant of tacrolimus or per institutional practice.   
Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) 
MMF will be given at a dose of 15 mg/kg PO TID (based upon actual body 
weight) with the maximum total daily dose not to exceed 3 grams (1 g PO TID).  
MMF prophylaxis will begin on Day 5 post-transplant and will be discontinued 
after the last dose on Day 35, or may be continued if active GVHD is present.  
5.5 
Growth Factor Support (begin day 5) 
G-CSF will be given beginning on Day 5 at a dose of 5 mcg/kg/day (rounding to 
the nearest vial dose is allowed), until absolute neutrophil count (ANC) is ≥ 
1,500/mm3 for three consecutive measurements on two different days.  G-CSF 
may be restarted to maintain ANC > 1,000/mm3.  G-CSF may be given by IV or 
subcutaneously.

Event Reporting 
Toxicity and adverse events will be classified according to NCI's Common Terminology 
Criteria for Adverse Events V 4.0 (CTCAE).  A copy of the CTCAE can be downloaded 
from the CTEP home page http://evs.nci.nih.gov/ftp1/CTCAE/About.html  
Transplant related outcomes and events will be recorded in the Blood and Marrow 
Transplantation (BMT) database.   
Events requiring prompt reporting to the University of Minnesota Institutional Review 
Board (IRB) and protocol deviations will be documented in OnCore.  
 
8.0 
Data Collection and Statistical Plan  
Specific transplant related endpoints include: 
• 2 year survival 
• Incidence of hematopoietic engraftment  
• Incidence of chimerism at day 100, 6 months and 1 year 
• Incidence of acute GVHD at 100 days 
• Incidence of chronic GVHD at 1 year 
• Incidence of transplant related mortality (TRM) at 6 months 
 
All endpoint data will be recorded in the University Of Minnesota Blood and Bone 
Marrow Database as part of the historical database maintained by the department.   
8.1 
Trial Size Justification 
The primary objective is to record outcomes and patient characteristics in the 
BMT database for patients who are treated in a standard manner. Based on prior 
enrollment it is expected this study will accrue 4 to 5 patients per year.  Since this 
treatment plan among these patients has been studied over the last several years, 
this is now a standard of care protocol.  No trial size justification is needed. Safety 
was closely monitored and assessed in the prior CTN trial as described in section

was shown to be safe and efficacious. 
8.2 
Enrollment Plan 
4-5 patients per year 
8.3 
Analysis of Primary and Secondary Endpoints  
Cumulative incidence will be used to estimate TRM, neutrophil engraftment, 
GVHD and graft failure treating non-events as competing risks. Kaplan-Meier 
curves will be used to estimate disease-free survival and overall survival. 
Chimerism will be plotted with box-plots and described over time. 
8.4 
Safety Monitoring  
This regimen has been studied for patients with these diagnoses for the past 
several years and it has been shown to be safe. Continuous stopping rules are no 
longer needed.  Safety parameters will be monitored on a yearly basis.

Risks of the Transplant Procedure (in general) 
The following problems may occur as a result of cord blood or marrow transplant.  
o Slow recovery of blood counts   
o Graft failure 
o Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GVHD)  
o Other complications. Other complications may include: 
a. Damage to the vital organs  
b. Serious infections  
c. Relapse of disease or a new blood cancer  
d. Risk to the unborn 
 
Risks of Using a Haploidentical Donor 
Based on previous experience at this instutition and others there is lower transplant related mortality 
(TRM), a greater chance of disease relapse but similar overall survival when compared with other 
transplants using a related or unrelated matched donor.
