Criteria

Key Inclusion Criteria:

Recipients must meet all of the following criteria:

  1. Patients must diagnosed with one of the following histopathologically confirmed diseases, for which a myeloablative hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HCT) is planned:

    • acute myeloid, lymphoid or mixed phenotype leukemia that is not in CR/CRi [Ages 18-65]
    • myelodysplastic syndromes with > 10% to < 20% bone marrow blast burden [Ages 18-65]

    • Myelofibrosis [Ages 18-65]
    • Blastic Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cell Neoplasm [Ages 18-65]
    • acute myeloid, lymphoid, mixed phenotype leukemia or myelodysplastic syndromes (therapy-related/secondary MDS or eligible for alloHCT per 2017 International Expert Panel) that are in CR and intermediate to high risk per the DRI in patients aged 66 to 75 [Ages 66-75]
    • chronic myeloid leukemia that is in chronic phase with history of blast crisis or accelerated phase and/or is resistant to or intolerant of >1 first- or second-generation TKI [Ages 18-65]
  2. Patients must be matched to a 8/8 HLA-matched related or unrelated donor
  3. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) > 50 mL/minute
  4. Cardiac ejection fraction at rest ≥ 45% or shortening fraction of ≥ 27% by echocardiogram or radionuclide scan (MUGA)
  5. Diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) (adjusted for hemoglobin) ≥ 50%
