INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This research study is evaluating the safety and efficacy of the IS-free Treg-cell graft-engineered haplo transplant method in people with relapsed/refractory and Ultra-high risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and/or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) receiving a haploidentical donor allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). The names of the study interventions involved in this study are: * Radiation-Total Myeloid and Lymphoid Irradiation (TMLI) * Chemotherapy (Fludarabine, Thiotepa, Cyclophosphamide plus Mesna) * Infusion of haplo Treg-enriched donor cells (experimental therapy) * Infusion of unmodified haplo donor T cells (includes cancer-fighting T effector cells) * Infusion of haplo donor CD34+ Peripheral Blood Stem Cells

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a bone marrow transplant approach for patients with very high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) — serious blood cancers that have often stopped responding to standard treatments. The approach uses a half-matched donor (haploidentical transplant) combined with a special type of immune cell called regulatory T cells (Tregs), and aims to reduce the need for immunosuppressive drugs after transplant. **You may be eligible if you:** - Have relapsed or refractory AML with at least 5% blasts (immature blood cells) in the bone marrow, despite at least one prior treatment - Have high-risk MDS (a pre-leukemia blood condition with high blast counts) - Have a specific TP53 gene mutation placing you in an ultra-high-risk category - Have a suitable half-matched donor available **You may NOT be eligible if you:** - Have not tried any prior therapy for your AML or MDS - Have conditions that prevent a bone marrow transplant (such as severe organ dysfunction) Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

RADIATIONRadiation

For MAC regimen: Total Myeloid and Lymphoid Irradiation (TMLI) delivered through Radiation Oncology institutional standards and comprised of 13.5 Gy TMI (9 fractions, 1.5 Gy per fraction, 2 fractions per day) and 11.7 Gy TLI (9 fractions, 1.3 Gy per fraction, 2 fractions per day). OR Total Body Irradiation (TBI) comprised of 12 Gy (6 fractions, 2 Gy per fraction, 2 fractions per day) For RIC regimen: TBI comprised of 2 Gy in 1 fraction.

DRUGFludarabine

For MAC regimen: 30 mg/m\^2/d in 100 ml normal saline (NS) will be administered as a bolus infusion administered by IV infusion over approximately 30 minutes for 5 days (on day -10, -9, -8, -7, -6) For RIC regimen: 40 mg/m\^2/d in 100 ml NS will be administered as a bolus by IV infusion over approximately 30 minutes for 4 days (on day -10, -9, -8, -7)

DRUGThiotepa

For MAC regimen: 3.75 mg/kg diluted in NS to a final concentration of 1mg/mL will be administered by IV infusion over approximately 4 hours daily for 2 days (on day -10, -9) For RIC regimen: 5 mg/kg diluted in NS to a final concentration of 1mg/mL will be administered by IV infusion over approximately 4 hours twice daily for 1 day (on day -11)

DRUGCyclophosphamide

For MAC regimen only: 15 mg/kg diluted in NS per institutional standard and will be administered by IV over 1 hour or as directed per institutional standard practice, daily on D-8, -7.

DRUGMesna

For MAC regimen only: 3.75mg/kg (25% of cyclophosphamide dose) diluted in 50 mL NS and administered IV over 30 min, will be infused starting 30 min prior to cyclophosphamide and for 3 doses thereafter, at 3, 6 and 9h after cyclophosphamide

BIOLOGICALTreg-enriched donor cell

Target 'Treg-enriched' cell dose is 1-2 x 10\^6 cells/kg. Cells will be given intravenously on Day -4. The day -1 calculated unmodified PBMC T ('Teff') cell dose will be adjusted to maintain a targeted cell ratio of 2 'Treg-enriched' cells:1 'Teff' cell.

BIOLOGICALUnmodified donor T Cell

Unmodified donor PBMCs will be infused at a calculated 'Teff' dose of 1x10\^6 CD3+ T cells/kg, adjusted per the caveats below: A) If the 'Treg-enriched' product infused was at target dose of 2x106 cells/kg but had ≥30% CD4+CD25+CD127hi cells, the unmodified 'Teff' (calculated) cell dose infused on day -1 will be halved to 0.5x10\^6 CD3+ T cells/kg. B) If the 'Treg-enriched' product was in the range of 1-2x106 cells/kg, the unmodified 'Teff' (calculated) cell dose on day -1 will be adjusted to between 0.5-1x10\^6 CD3+ T cells/kg, dosed to maintain a 2 'Treg-enriched':1 'Teff' (calculated) ratio of infused cells. C) If the 'Treg-enriched' product infused met both caveats A and B above, the unmodified 'Teff' (calculated) cell dose infused on day -1 will be halved to 0.5x10\^6 CD3+ T cells/kg.

PROCEDURECD34+ Haplo Peripheral Blood Stem Cell

The megadose donor CD34+ PBSC infusion target is \>10x10\^6 CD34+ cells/kg (ABW or IBW, whichever is greater). If the CD34+ graft has \<6x10\^6 CD34+ cells/kg (ABW or IBW, whichever is greater) (below megadose minimum) it WILL be infused in order to rescue recipient hematopoiesis, and the patient will remain on study.

DRUGMelphalan

For RIC regimen only: 100 mg/m2 will be administered as a bolus by IV infusion over approximately 30 minutes for 1 day (on day -6)
