About this trial

This study is being done to see if the investigators can take peripheral blood stem cells from either an adult family member or a closely matched unrelated donor, and run them through a special lab instrument to remove alpha/beta T cells and B cells and then give them to the patient to treat disease. This is an experimental way of doing a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). The investigators want to see if the new stem cells will grow without bad graft vs. host disease (GVHD). This treatment approach is experimental in the United States.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

No Human leukocyte antigen (HLA) identical sibling available AND

NO HLA matched unrelated donor available OR urgent need of HSCT precludes time necessary to search for suitable HLA matched unrelated donor AND

Haploidentical donor OR closely matched unrelated donor available and willing to undergo mobilization and apheresis

If subject has genetically confirmed inherited bone marrow failure, related donor must be evaluated for this disorder and testing must be negative.

Disqualifiers

Pregnant

HIV infection

Uncontrolled, serious active infection at screening

Significant serious intercurrent illnesses

Trial design

Design model

Single group

Treatments tested in this trial

  • TCRαβ+/CD19+ depleted Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) graft

    Biological/Vaccine

    After undergoing a disease specific conditioning regimen (standard of care), participants will receive peripheral blood stem cell transplant from a haploidentical donor or closely matched unrelated donor, depleted of TCR αβ+ and CD19+ cells using the CliniMACS TCR α/β-biotin and CD19 Systems.

  • CliniMACS® System

    Device

    The CliniMACS Cell Selection System is based on magnetic-activated cell sorting mechanism. The CliniMACS device is a powerful tool for the isolation of many cell types from heterogeneous cell mixtures.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of grade III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)

Acute GVHD will be assessed and graded according to the Keystone Consensus Criteria for staging and grading of acute graft-versus-host disease.

Time frame
100 days post transplantation
2

Incidence of extensive chronic GVHD

Chronic GVHD will be assessed according to the current CIBMTR (Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research) manual reflecting a grading system published by Sullivan KM (Sullivan 1981).

Time frame
up to 2 years
3

Incidence of graft failure

Graft failure - defined as failure to achieve ANC \> 500 /µL at Day +28 or initial neutrophil engraftment followed by a decline in ANC \< 500 /µL that is unresponsive to growth factor therapy (secondary graft failure).

Time frame
up to 2 years after graft
4

Incidence of Treatment Related Mortality (TRM)

TRM - defined as death from any cause other than disease progression.

Time frame
Day +100 post-HSCT

Secondary outcomes

1

Time to neutrophil engraftment

The time to neutrophil engraftment is defined as the post-transplant day that is the first of 3 consecutive days with an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) of \>500/µL as assessed by CBC.

Time frame
up to 28 days following HSCT
2

Time to platelet engraftment

The time to platelet engraftment is defined as the post-transplant day that is the first of 3 consecutive days with a platelet count ≥ 20,000/µL as assessed by complete blood count (CBC), without platelet support (transfusion) for 7 days.

Time frame
up to 28 days following HSCT
3

Percentage donor chimerism using Short Tandem Repeat (STR)

Short tandem repeat (STR) analysis will provide the percentage donor chimerism at specific time points post-transplant.

Time frame
up to 12 months following HSCT
4

Kinetics of lymphocyte reconstitution via immunophenotyping using flow cytometry

Lymphocyte reconstitution will be assessed at specific time points post-HSCT, expressed as the percentage of white blood cells comprised of T, B and NK cell subsets.

Time frame
up to 12 months following HSCT
