A Phase II Trial of Nonmyeloablative Haploidentical Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation Followed By Maintenance Therapy With the Novel Oral Proteasome Inhibitor, MLN9708, in Patients With High-risk Hematologic Malignancies

In an attempt to reduce relapse risk and improve outcomes following haploidentical
transplantation for patients with high risk hematologic malignancies, the investigators will
implement several strategies to augment the well documented effect of NK cell alloreactivity
seen in HLA-mismatched transplantation. These strategies include (1) choosing potential
haploidentical donors for optimal NK-alloreactivity, (2) utilizing proteasome inhibition
post-transplant with MLN9708 to both sensitize tumor cells to NK cytotoxicity and protect
against graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and (3) eliminating mycophenolate mofetil from the
post-transplant immunosuppression regimen to improve NK cell reconstitution following
haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.

Overview of Study Design:

In an attempt to reduce relapse risk and improve outcomes following haploidentical
transplantation for patients with high risk hematologic malignancies, the investigators will
implement several strategies to augment the well documented effect of NK cell alloreactivity
seen in HLA-mismatched transplantation. These strategies include (1) choosing potential
haploidentical donors for optimal NK-alloreactivity, (2) utilizing proteasome inhibition
post-transplant with MLN9708 to both sensitize tumor cells to NK cytotoxicity and protect
against graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and (3) eliminating mycophenolate mofetil from the
post-transplant immunosuppression regimen to improve NK cell reconstitution following
haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation.

Patients will receive a nonmyeloablative haploidentical transplant using a T-cell replete
allograft and post-transplant cyclophosphamide as previously described at our center (Bashey
et al. J Clin Oncol. 2013; 31(10):1310-6). MLN9708 will be administered once weekly for 3
weeks on a 28 day cycle for one-year post-transplant. Post-transplant immunosuppression will
consist of tacrolimus only (MLN9708 will substitute for mycophenolate mofetil as the second
GVHD prophylactic medication).

The primary endpoint of this trial will be the risk of relapse and/or progression at one-year
post-transplant. Experience from the literature suggests that following a nonmyeloablative
haploidentical transplant using post-transplant cyclophosphamide (haplo-pCy), the risk of
relapse is approximately 50% at one year post-transplant. It is hoped that under this
protocol, this rate will be at most 25%. Thus the investigators statistically formalize this
study by testing the null hypothesis that p, the PFS rate is 0.25 or less versus the
alternative hypothesis that p is greater than 0.5. A sample size of 25 patients gives 90%
power with an alpha=0.05, using the formula for a one sample binomial (two-sided) test of a
proportion.

kinase inhibitors (OR) accelerated phase (OR) blast crisis in 2nd chronic phase

induction chemotherapy failure, but subsequently entered into a CR (OR) 1st CR with
poor risk cytogenetics)

- Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia / Prolymphocytic Leukemia (Duration of remission <12
months after receiving chemotherapy with a nucleoside analog (OR) High risk features
(i.e. 17p deletion), (OR) Second or subsequent relapse)

creatinine clearance is permitted) < 40 mL/min

known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positive.

- Women of childbearing potential who currently are pregnant or who are not practicing
adequate contraception

their giving informed consent or their receiving optimal treatment and follow-up.

examination during the screening period.
