Overview of the COBLT Study • Prospective, multi-institutional study sponsored by the NHLBI. – 3 banks: • Duke • UCLA • CHOC/GT J Kurtzberg J Fraser M Cairo • Created inventory of approx 8, 000 units • 71 % of transplants used COBLT units • Transplantation study: Strata for adults, peds ID, metabolic ds & peds malignancies.
The Transplantation Study • Common protocol for preparative regimen, Gv. HD prophylaxis and supportive care. • Common criteria for evaluation of risk status at study entry, donor selection, engraftment, Gv. HD, infection and causes of death.
Study End Points Primary Endpoint • 180 day survival Secondary Endpoints • Disease-free survival • Incidence of neutrophil engraftment • Incidence of platelet engraftment • Incidence of acute and chronic GVHD • Incidence of relapse Analysis of high resolution HLA typing and effect on outcomes.
Definitions • Original HLA Matching – Low resolution DNA based typing for Class I, A and B, High resolution DNA typing for Class II, DRB 1 • Retrospective (final) HLA Matching – High resolution DNA typing for A, B, DRB 1 • Engraftment – ANC 500/u. L with >90% donor chimerism by day 42
Patient Eligibility • Pediatric Patients between 1 -18 years • Hematological malignancies – Exclude CML blast crisis – Exclude ALL relapse • No related donor • UCB donor delivering >10 e 7 cells/kg, matching at 4/6 HLA loci by low resolution typing at Class I, or 3/6 with high resolution matching, 1 allele at A, B, DRB 1.

Summary • The COBLT Study represents the first prospective, multi-institutional study of cord blood transplantation – Standard treatment protocol – Standard supportive care – Standard outcome definitions and assessments – Analysis of retrospective high resolution HLA typing on outcomes (with 34% of patients having greater disparity than original typing)
Conclusions • Incidence of engraftment is 75% which correlated with nucleated cell dose and donor gestational age. • Incidence of acute grade III/IV acute GVHD was 19%; chronic GVHD was 20% (70% limited) and GVHD was cause of death in 30% of fatalities. • Incidence of relapse was 25% (77% of pts were high risk).
Conclusions • Overall survival was 55% with early engraftment, recipient CMV seronegative status and male gender being favorable risk factors. • Notably, level of HLA match (original or high resolution) and risk status at diagnoses did not impact survival.
