A Pilot Trial of Abatacept Based Graft-Versus-Host Disease Prophylaxis Following Omidubicel Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation

Summary

This study is a single-center, non-randomized, single-arm pilot trial of omidubicel hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HCT) for hematologic malignancies with myeloablative conditioning chemotherapy of physician's choice followed by abatacept/tacrolimus/mycophenolate mofetil (ABA/Tac/MMF) graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. The primary objective is to assess the safety and feasibility of abatacept/tacrolimus/mycophenolate mofetil GVHD prophylaxis following omidubicel HCT. Target enrollment is 10 participants. Subjects are adults with a diagnosis of hematologic malignancy with an available cord blood unit for omidubicel product manufacturing. Patients will be followed for a total of 18 months and will have research blood draws and Abatacept pharmacokinetics, as well as standard of care assessments that will be reviewed for this study. It is estimated that 36 months of accrual will be necessary to enroll the targeted sample size with an accrual rate of approximately 1 participant every 3 months. Accrual will be reported by race, ethnicity, gender, and age. Descriptive analyses are planned given the sample size.
