Overview

This is a phase II trial of T cell receptor alpha/beta depletion (α/β TCD) peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplantation in patients with inherited bone marrow failure (BMF) disorders to eliminate the need for routine graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) immune suppression leading to earlier immune recovery and potentially a reduction in the risk of severe infections after transplantation.

Eligibility

Patient Selection:

Inclusion Criteria:

For FA patients:

  • Diagnosis of Fanconi anemia
    • Age <65 years of age
  • Has one of the following risk factors:
    • Severe aplastic anemia (SAA)
    • Myelodysplastic features
    • High risk genotype
    • Immunodeficiency associated with history of recurrent infections
  • Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70% if ≥ 16 years of age or Lansky play score ≥ 50%

    for patients <16 years of age

    • Adequate pulmonary, cardiac and liver function
    • Voluntary written consent (minor assent if appropriate) prior to the performance of any study related procedures not part of standard medical care

For TBD patients:

• Diagnosis of TBD

  • Age <70 years of age
  • Has one of the following risk factors:
  • Severe aplastic anemia (SAA)
  • Myelodysplastic features
  • Karnofsky performance status ≥ 70% if ≥ 16 years of age or Lansky play score

    ≥ 50% for patients <16 years of age

  • Adequate pulmonary, cardiac and liver function
  • Voluntary written consent (minor assent if appropriate) prior to the performance of any study related procedures not part of standard medical care

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Pregnant or breastfeeding as the treatment used in this study are Pregnancy Category D. Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test (serum or urine) within 14 days of study registration
  • Active, uncontrolled infection within 1 week prior to starting study therapy
  • Malignant solid tumor cancer within previous 2 years

Donor Selection (Inclusion Criteria): meets one of the following match criteria:

  • an HLA-A, B, DRB1 matched sibling donor (matched sibling)
  • an HLA-A, B, DRB1 matched related donor (other than sibling)
  • a related donor mismatched at 1 HLA-A, B, C and DRB1 antigen
  • 7-8/8 HLA-A,B,C,DRB1 allele matched unrelated donor per current institutional guidelines Patients and donors are typed for HLA-A and B using serological or molecular techniques and for DRB1 using high resolution molecular typing. If a donor has been selected on the basis of HLA-A, B, C and DRB1 typing as above, preference will be made for donors matched at the HLA-C locus.
  • Body weight of at least 40 kilograms and at least 12 years of age
  • Willing and able to undergo mobilized peripheral blood apheresis
  • In general good health as determined by the medical provider
  • Adequate organ function defined as:
    • Hematologic: hemoglobin, WBC, platelet within 10% of upper and lower limit of normal range of test (gender based for hemoglobin)
    • Hepatic: ALT < 2 x upper limit of normal
    • Renal: serum creatinine < 1.8 mg/dl
  • Performance of a donor infectious disease screen panel including CMV Antibody,

    Hepatitis B Surface Antigen, Hepatitis B Core Antibody, Hepatitis C Antibody, HIV 1/2 Antibody, HTLVA 1/2 Antibody, Treponema, and Trypanosoma Cruzi (T. Cruzi) plus HBV, HCV, WNV, HIV by nucleic acid testing (NAT); and screening for evidence of and risks factors for infection with Zika virus, or per current standard institutional donor screen - must be negative for HIV and active hepatitis B

  • Not pregnant - females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days of mobilization start
  • Voluntary written consent (parent/guardian and minor assent, if < 18 years) prior to the performance of any research related procedure

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
