Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
A CliniMACS CD34+ reagent system (Miltenyi Biotec) was used to isolate CD34+ hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells at the Juravinski Cancer Centre (using established SOPs) from the leukapheresis product harvested on the previous day. After magnetic labeling with an anti-human CD34 antibody, the CD34+ hematopoietic cells were enriched using a high-gradient magnetic separation column connected to a closed disposable tubing set. After washing steps, the retained CD34+ hematopoietic cells were eluted by removal of the magnetic field. The degree of purification was monitored by flow cytometry analysis after staining an aliquot of purified product with a two-color fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC)-CD45/PE-CD34 reagent from the Stem-Kit (Beckman Coulter).
Isolated CD34+ cells were immediately resuspended in 10% Cryoserv DMSO (Bioniche PHARMA) plus 10% autologous plasma and 80% Plasma-Lyte A (Baxter) in CryoStore freezing bags (OriGen Biomedical) and cryopreserved using a controlled-rate freezer (Planer). Following this, the cells were stored in the vapor phase of a liquid nitrogen tank. The cryopreserved CD34+ cells were later transported to our laboratory at UHN or directly to the Philip S. Orsino Cell Processing Facility at Princess Margaret Hospital for LV transduction.

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Graft manipulation and conditioning regimens were provided in accordance with institutional standard of care and have been described previously [11 (link),12 (link)]. In brief, patients with acute leukemia in first complete remission and patients with myelodysplastic syndrome underwent ex vivo TCD/CD34-selected HCT unless deemed ineligible or refused by insurance. TCD was performed with the CliniMACS CD34+ reagent system (Miltenyi Biotec, Gladbach, Germany). Patients not eligible for TCD received unmodified HCT after reduced-intensity conditioning with low-dose total body irradiation or busulfan and fludarabine. Recipients of unmodified HCT received graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis, including tacrolimus/sirolimus plus mycophenolate mofetil with or without methotrexate [13 (link)] or post-HCT cyclophosphamide for recipients of haploidentical donor allografts [14 (link)]. Bacterial and fungal prophylaxis was administered as described previously [15 (link),16 (link)]. All patients received acyclovir prophylaxis for herpes simplex virus and varicella zoster virus in accordance with institutional standards of care [17 (link)].

Autologous PBSC Mobilization, Selection, and Transplantation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) were mobilized by administration of recombinant human G-CSF (from Day 4 until apheresis) after chemotherapy with cyclophosphamide (CYC; 2 × 1–2 g/m² body surface) for 2 consecutive days and collected according to local standards, beginning on day 10. In one patient - due to CYC intolerance -, stem cells were obtained by bone marrow aspiration without previous chemotherapy. We aimed for a cell count > 2 × 106 CD34 + cells/kg bodyweight (BW), and all cells were positively selected via immunomagnetic beads (CliniMACS® CD34 Reagent System, Miltenyi, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany).
Standard pre-transplant conditioning regimen contained of CYC 50 mg/kg bodyweight (day − 5 until day − 2) and T-cell depletion therapy with rabbit antithymocyte globulin (ATG, grafalon®, Neovii Pharmaceuticals AG, Switzerland) in varying doses from 2.5 to 40 mg/kg BW (day − 4 until day − 1), or thiotepa 2 × 5 mg/kg BW (day − 5), ATG 2.5–40 mg/kg BW (day − 4 until day − 1), and CYC 50 mg/kg BW (day − 3 until day − 2) depending on the disease manifestation as described previously [7 (link)]. We used melphalan 100 mg/m² body surface area (BSA) in the one patient intolerant to CYC. Frozen-thawed CD34 + positively selected PBSC were transplanted on day 0. There was no application of G-CSF after reinfusion of autologous stem cells in any patient.

Targeted CD34+ Cell Selection and Viral Monitoring

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ex vivo TCD was performed by the CliniMACS CD34+ reagent system (Miltenyi Biotec, Gladbach, Germany)1 (link). All patients received acyclovir prophylaxis for herpes simplex virus (HSV) and varicella zoster virus (VZV) per institutional standards of care8 (link). CMV was routinely monitored at least weekly from day +14 through day +100, at least every 14 days from day+100 until day +180 and thereafter as clinically indicated. EBV was routinely monitored weekly from day +14 through day +100 and at least every 14 days thereafter until immune recovery. ADV and HHV6 were routinely monitored weekly from day +14 to at least through day+100 and thereafter as clinically indicated.
Preemptive treatment for CMV was started for ≥2 consecutive PCR >500copies/ml in whole blood or >300 IU/ml in plasma. Treatment of ADV/HHV6 viremia was at clinician’s discretion. EBV post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) was treated initially with Rituximab (375 mg /m2) weekly for four weeks. Donor lymphocyte infusion or EBV-specific CTLs was used as second line therapy as per the clinician, and was dependent on time post-transplant, donor type, and availability of donor leukocytes or donor EBV-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs).

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The preparative regimen was identical for MM patients enrolled on either protocol and consisted of myeloablative doses of IV busulfan at 0.8 mg/kg/dose every 6 hours for 10 total doses on days −9 to −7, IV melphalan 70 mg/m2/day on days −7 and −6, and IV fludarabine 25 mg/m2/day on days −6 to −2. Busulfan and melphalan doses were adjusted to ideal body weight where patient weight was >125% their ideal. After the initial dose, subsequent busulfan doses were adjusted based on first dose pharmacokinetics. On days −3 and −2 rabbit antithymocyte globulin was administered at 2.5 mg/kg/day, accompanied by methylprednisolone at 2 mg/kg/day. Grafts were depleted of T Cells by ex-vivo positive CD34+ selection through the CliniMACS CD34 Reagent System (Miltenyi Biotech, Bergisch Gladbach, Germany). Patients did not receive immunosuppressive therapy after alloHCT. Maintenance therapy (lenalidomide) was not part of the treatment protocols but such a regimen could be considered for patients with progressing or relapsing disease at the discretion of the treating physician.
