Overview

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and the efficacy of SMART101 (Human T Lymphoid Progenitor (HTLP)) injection to accelerate immune reconstitution after T cell depleted allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in adult and pediatric patients with hematological malignancies.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

Group A (adults):

1. Adult patients affected by:
   • Acute leukemia (AML, ALL) defined as:
     • Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML):
       • High risk AML in CR1; any adverse genetic abnormality, secondary or therapy related AML excluding good risk genetic abnormalities
       • Chemo-refractory relapse (MRD+)
       • ≥ CR2
     • Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL):
       • Chemo-refractory relapse (MRD+)
       • High risk ALL in CR1; Philadelphia (like) or any poor risk feature
       • ≥ CR2
     • Acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage:
       • ≥ CR1 with a minimal residual disease (MRD) <5% (flow cytometry, molecular and/or cytogenetics accepted)
   • Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS) with least one of the following:
     • Revised International Prognostic Scoring System risk score of intermediate or higher at the time of transplant evaluation.
     • Life-threatening cytopenia.
     • Karyotype or genomic changes that indicate high risk for progression to acute myelogenous leukemia, including abnormalities of chromosome 7 or 3, mutations of TP53, or complex or monosomal karyotype.
     • Therapy related disease or disease evolving from other malignant processes.
2. Patient eligible for a T-depleted allogeneic HSCT
3. Age ≥ 18y and clinical condition compatible with allogeneic stem cell transplantation
4. Karnofsky index ≥ 70% prior to conditioning regimen
5. Patients with normal organ function prior to conditioning regimen

Group B (pediatrics):

1. Pediatric patients affected by acute leukemia defined as:
   • Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML):
     • High risk AML in CR1; any adverse genetic abnormality, secondary or therapy related AML excluding good risk genetic abnormalities,
     • Chemo-refractory relapse (MRD+)
     • ≥ CR2
   • Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL):
     • Chemo-refractory relapse (MRD+)
     • High risk ALL in CR1; Philadelphia (like) or any poor risk feature
     • ≥ CR2
   • Acute leukemia of ambiguous lineage:
     • ≥ CR1 with a minimal residual disease (MRD) <5% (flow cytometry, molecular and/or cytogenetics accepted)
2. Patient eligible for a T-depleted allogeneic HSCT
3. Age < 18y at the time of inclusion
4. Absence of a matched sibling donor (MSD)
5. Lansky ≥ 70% / Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70% prior to conditioning regimen
