5. Matched unrelated donor must consent to provide a bone marrow allograft.

a. Combined (estrogen and progestogen containing hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation.
-oral
-intravaginal

c. intrauterine device (IUD)
d. intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS)
e. bilateral tubal occlusion
f. total abstinence or vasectomized partner.

E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Clonal cytogenetic abnormalities associated with MDS or AML on bone marrow examination performed within 90 days of protocol inclusion.
2. Karnofsky performance status < 40% for patients 16 years old or older; or Lansky < 40% for patients < 16 years old.
3. Uncontrolled bacterial, viral or fungal infections (currently taking medication and progression of clinical symptoms). Patients with fever despite broad-spectrum antimicrobials but no clinical or hemodynamic evidence of sepsis will be allowed.
4. Positive for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) by nucleic acid testing.
5. Pregnancy (positive B-HCG) or breastfeeding.
6. Known severe or life-threatening allergy or intolerance to fludarabine, alemtuzumab, cyclosporine, or mycophenolate mofetil.
7. In HLA mismatched transplants: positive patient anti-donor HLA antibody, defined as clinically significant based on institutional standards.
8. Prior allogeneic marrow or stem cell transplantation.
9. Prior solid organ transplantation.
10. Non-hematological co-morbid condition(s) or other factors (for example, psychological or social factors) that preclude the patient‟s candidacy for performing BMT under the protocol regimen, in the opinion of the treating physician

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
- Neutrophil engraftment
- Primary Graft Failure
- Primary engraftment
|
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
- Neutrophil engraftment: an ANC ≥ 0.5 x 10e9/L for three consecutive measurements on different days. The day of engraftment will be the day of the first of these three measurements.
- Primary graft failure: A) the lack of neutrophil engraftment as of Day +42; i.e., ANC was not ≥ 0.5 x 10e9/L for three consecutive measurements on different days with day +42 post-transplant or earlier as the first day of engraftment. B) Peripheral blood chimerism ≤ 50% donor neutrophil cells on two occasions from Day +30 to Day +100 post-transplant.
For the calculation of the primary engraftment rate, a patient will be considered to have, engrafted‟ if the patient has neutrophil engraftment per section 7.1.1 and if the patient does not have primary graft failure per either 7.1.2.1A or 7.1.2.1B. |
