About this trial
This study is being done to see if the study drug, motixafortide, is safe in participants with sickle cell disease (SCD). Investigators also want to see if the drug will help the body increase the number of stem cells that can be collected for possible future transplant use.
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE
* To characterize the safety and tolerability of motixafortide in participants with SCD as determined by the incidence of adverse events (AEs).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES
* To characterize the efficacy of a single dose (Part A) or two doses (Part B) of motixafortide for hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) mobilization and apheresis collection in participants with SCD as determined by the yield of CD34+ cells (CD34+ cells/kg). * To measure the mobilization effects of single-day (Part A) or daily dosing (Part B) dosing with motixafortide in the peripheral blood in participants with SCD as determined by peak peripheral blood CD34+ counts * To recommend a phase 2 dosing strategy based on safety, efficacy, and mobilization effects
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Participants with severe sickle cell disease (SCD) who are ≥18 years of age and willing to donate autologous hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) for advancing future gene therapy for SCD after collection of back-up product. Severe SCD, for the purpose of this study, will be defined as participants who are receiving chronic transfusion therapy due to SCD related complications or are eligible for or currently enrolled on an allogeneic transplant protocol.
Participant must have a documented diagnosis of SCD with documentation of SCD genotype by medical history
Participants should either have a central line in place, be able to undergo apheresis without the necessity of the insertion of a central venous catheter, or agree to have a central line placed if IV access is inadequate.
ECOG performance status/Karnofsky score/Lansky score ≥ 80
Disqualifiers
Active and painful splenomegaly or splenomegaly (size greater than upper limit of normal on examination).
Participant who, by medical history, requires rare donor registry RBC units for transfusion, or is unable to receive routine transfusion. Eligible study participants must have undergone prior work-up for the presence of red cell alloantibodies and confirmation of available compatible blood product support
Known allergy to or contraindication for motixafortide administration, or medications routinely administered during apheresis
Participant who has had a prior autologous or allogeneic transplantation, inclusive of gene therapy

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
To assess the safety and tolerability of motixafortide in participants with sickle cell disease (SCD) as determined by the incidence of adverse events.
Secondary outcomes
To determine the yield of CD34+ cells/kg after a single or daily dose of motixafortide in participants with SCD.

To recommend a phase 2 dosing strategy of one or two doses motixafortide in participants with SCD based on the incidence of adverse events
To recommend a phase 2 dosing strategy for timing of apheresis based on peripheral blood CD34+ counts/uL after motixafortide administration in participants with SCD
