About this trial

A study of alloHCT with Orca-Q for the treatment of primary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Participants aged ≥18 and ≤65 years with primary progressive multiple sclerosis

A diagnosis of PPMS by 2017 McDonald criteria and 2013 clinical course revision102

CSF with elevated IgG index or 2 or more oligoclonal bands

EDSS (see Appendix 9) between 2.0 and 5.5 inclusive

Disqualifiers

History of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy

Renal insufficiency as defined by an estimated GFR <60 mL/minute

Cardiac dysfunction as defined by symptomatic coronary artery disease, congestive heart failure, valvular heart disease, cardiomyopathy, uncontrolled arrhythmia(s), or left ventricular ejection fraction <50%. Participants with a history of these conditions may enroll if they are demonstrated to have optimal cardiac function (as defined by echocardiography or multi-gated acquisition scan)

Pulmonary dysfunction that poses a risk of mortality after transplant, defined as pre-transplant pulmonary function testing demonstrating a FEV1 <70% expected and/or a DLCOadj <70% expected.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Severe acute Graft-versus-Host-Disease-free survival

Alive without a history of moderate to severe aGVHD

Time frame
365 days after infusion

Secondary outcomes

1

Evaluate treatment response

Neurologically stable. Assessment of neurological function will be measured by employing the expanded disability status scale (EDSS)

Time frame
Measurements will be taken at 9 and 12 months after infusion
2

Evaluate safety of treatment

Regimen-related toxicity, incidence and severity of GVHD, primary and secondary graft failure

Time frame
Measured from time of enrollment to end of study participation (from date of consent to month 12).
