About this trial

The purpose of this study is to find a safe and tolerable way to improve engraftment after transplant. Research studies have shown that adding nicotinamide riboside to donor cells has the potential to increase blood stem cell numbers and potentially decrease the time to engraftment. Also, nicotinamide riboside, TRU NIAGEN (the study drug) is a type of vitamin B supplement that the general public can get without a prescription and is well tolerated.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

All disease indications for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation except for myelofibrosis.

Subject must meet program eligibility criteria* for myeloablative conditioning alloHCT and plan to undergo myeloablative conditioning.

HLA-identical related donor or unrelated human donor source with bone marrow graft.

Subjects must provide a written informed consent.

Disqualifiers

History of allergy or intolerance to NR precursor compounds, including niacin or nicotinamide

Pregnant or breastfeeding women are excluded from this study since allogeneic HCT is a strict contraindication.

Subjects with uncontrolled intercurrent illness or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Percent of participants who receive >75% of scheduled doses.

Tolerability of NR in allogeneic HCT recipients, defined as 8 or more of 15 participants (i.e. at least 50% of enrolled subjects) able to receive \>75% of their scheduled doses (overall rate 53%, 95% confidence intervals 33%-86%). This will include both patients who discontinue NR due to study drug related toxicity and patients who are not able to stay on NR due to transplant related toxicity that limits ability to take the drug

Time frame
day +7
2

Percent of participants who receive >75% of scheduled doses.

Tolerability of NR in allogeneic HCT recipients, defined as 8 or more of 15 participants (i.e. at least 50% of enrolled subjects) able to receive \>75% of their scheduled doses (overall rate 53%, 95% confidence intervals 33%-86%). This will include both patients who discontinue NR due to study drug related toxicity and patients who are not able to stay on NR due to transplant related toxicity that limits ability to take the drug

Time frame
day +14
3

Percent of participants who receive >75% of scheduled doses.

Tolerability of NR in allogeneic HCT recipients, defined as 8 or more of 15 participants (i.e. at least 50% of enrolled subjects) able to receive \>75% of their scheduled doses (overall rate 53%, 95% confidence intervals 33%-86%). This will include both patients who discontinue NR due to study drug related toxicity and patients who are not able to stay on NR due to transplant related toxicity that limits ability to take the drug

Time frame
day +21
4

Percent of participants experiencing a CTCAE 5.0 grade 3 or higher related to the study drug

Safety of NR in allogeneic HCT recipients as measured by percent of participants experiencing a CTCAE 5.0 grade 3 or higher that is related to the study drug

Time frame
day +7

Secondary outcomes

1

Median days to neutrophil recovery after HCT

Median and range of days to neutrophil recovery after HCT. Recovery defined as first day of three consecutive days with absolute neutrophil count 500 cells/mm3 (0.5 x 109/L) or greater

Time frame
Up to 100 days from start of treatment
2

Median days to platelet recovery after HCT

Median and range of days to Platelet recovery after HCT. Recovery defined as first day of three consecutive days with platelet count 20,000/mm3 (20 x 109/L) or greater and unsupported by platelet transfusions.

Time frame
Up to 100 days from start of treatment
