Summary

This trial will test whether a non-TBI conditioning regimen is effective for B-ALL patients with low risk of relapse as defined by NGS-MRD.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children, adolescents, and young adults aged 1-25 with B-ALL leukemia who are candidates for a stem cell transplant. They must have low relapse risk indicated by negative NGS-MRD (a type of genetic test) in their bone marrow before the transplant. Participants need to be in first or second remission and have good organ function. Those with certain conditions like CNS relapse history or HIV are not eligible.
What is being tested?
The study tests if a non-TBI (no total body irradiation) conditioning regimen before hematopoietic cell transplantation can work for patients with B-ALL who show no minimal residual disease through next-generation sequencing. It compares this approach against standard treatments that include TBI.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, generally, myeloablative conditioning can cause fatigue, infections due to lowered immunity, nausea/vomiting, mouth sores, and may affect organ functions which will be closely monitored.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment ArmExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients enrolled to the observational arm that are NGS-MRD pre-HCT are considered for the Treatment Arm. Patients will receive a myeloablative non-TBI conditioning regimen prior to the transplant consisting on busulfan, fludarabine and thiotepa. Patients will be followed for outcome for up to 5 years.
Group II: Observational ArmExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients are enrolled to the observational arm to proceed with NGS-MRD testing pre-HCT. If NGS-MRD negative, eligible patients may be considered for the Treatment Arm to receive a myeloablative non-TBI conditioning regimen prior to HCT. If NGS-MRD positive, patients may continue in the observational arm and receive HCT under the direction of their transplant physician and followed on the study for outcome.
