      David Wallace

      Founder & CEO of MPN Cancer Connection and PV Reporter | Patient Advocate

      When David was diagnosed with PV in 2009, at the age of 47, he soon learned there was limited and often conflicting information available on Myeloproliferative Neoplasms (MPNs). He also realized early on in his diagnosis, the importance of advocating for himself to best manage his polycythemia vera (PV). David was grateful for the early support and guidance of fellow MPN patients on his journey and wanted a way to give back to the MPN community. With a professional background in business administration and sociology, David has a passion for finding solutions and helping others. In 2013, David used his skill set to create PV Reporter,
      a comprehensive patient-focused website for MPNs. David refers to his site as a hub for patients to begin to research their cancer. Whether a patient, caregiver or healthcare provider, PV Reporter offers visitors a wealth of educational resources, patient stories, articles, and the latest news on the treatment for MPNs, helping MPN patients and their caregivers stay informed, connected and empowered. In 2015, along with the help of others, David founded a non-profit MPN Cancer Connection (MPN-CC), a patient-led 501©3 formed to create awareness that MPN patients are “cancer patients” and should have complete access to local and national programs and benefits. David’s philosophy is to educate patients to become their own advocates so that they can make informed decisions on their treatment. David’s dedication to the MPN community is further evidenced through his work and awards:
      • Selected to endorse 2018 NCCN guidelines for MPN patients by MPN Cancer Connection
      • Selected to represent the United States as a patient advocate by MPNs Advocate Network International Conference 2016-2019
      • Recipient of MPN Hero Award 2016
      • Published in MD Anderson Cancer Center MPN Focus Newsletter Fall 2016
      • Appearance on “The Doctors” TV show in 2015 to promote MPN awareness
      • Awarded Press Credentials for American Society of Hematology Conference 2014-2019
      • Contributor to Patient Power MPN educational videos
      David lives in Charlotte, North Carolina. When he’s not working, David enjoys spending time with family, listening to live music, attending outdoor festivals, watching the Carolina Panthers, riding his motorcycle, traveling and of course having his beloved Aussiedoodle Bailey by his side.

Fludarabine Phosphate, Cyclophosphamide, Total Body Irradiation, and Donor Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Patients With Blood Cancer

Study Purpose

This phase II trial studies how well fludarabine phosphate, cyclophosphamide, total body irradiation, and donor stem cell transplant work in treating patients with blood cancer. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The donated stem cells may also replace the patient?s immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells.

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • - Any disease that is considered transplant eligible per TCT standards.
  • - Disease response noted (i.e. CR, non-CR, or not applicable): Assessed as per disease specific criteria.
  • - Suitable related haploidentical donor identified per transplant service: - Recipient should not have HLA antibodies to potential donor.
If the recipient does have HLA antibodies to the potential donor, an alternative donor is preferred; however, if there are no suitable alternative donors, the anti-HLAt antibodies should be depleted per transplant service guidelines.
  • - Haploidentical donors that are ABO compatible with the recipient are preferred.
Minor ABO incompatibility is preferred to major ABO incompatibility. Major ABO incompatibility between recipient and donor is the least preferred but still acceptable for this study.
  • - It is preferred that the haploidentical donor must be available to donate on day -1 and day 0, so that fresh product can be processed by the Stem Cell lab and administered to the patient on day 0.
While less preferable, cryopreserved product may be utilized with this product.
  • - Diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) > 40% predicted, corrected for hemoglobin and/or alveolar ventilation.
  • - Left ventricular ejection fraction > 40% - Bilirubin, liver alkaline phosphatase, serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) or serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) =< 3 x upper limit of normal.
  • - Calculated creatinine clearance > 40 cc/min by the modified Cockcroft-Gault formula for adults or the Schwartz formula for pediatrics.
  • - Have a Karnofsky (adult) or Lansky (for =< 16 years) performance status >= 60% - Patient must be able to pass radiation evaluation (i.e.: able to receive 200 cGy) - Patients who have failed a prior autologous transplant are eligible; however, at least 90 days must have elapsed between the start of this reduced intensity conditioning regimen and the last transplant if patient had a prior autologous BMT.
  • - Participants of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate contraceptive methods (e.g., hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry; should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform her treating physician immediately.
  • - Participant must understand the investigational nature of this study and sign an independent ethics committee/Institutional Review Board approved written informed consent form prior to receiving any study related procedure.
  • - If patient is planned to use a fully matched donor, patient is excluded from trial; patient must be planned to undergo a haploidentical matched transplant to participate on study.
Patient is still eligible for trial regardless of donor options if PI feels that haplo transplant is in the patient's best interest per clinical decision.
