About this trial

The purpose of this study is to investigate mobilization and collection of HSPCs in patients with bone marrow failure syndromes (BMFS) using granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (otherwise known as Filgrastim) with plerixafor to demonstrate safety and feasibility of collecting HSPCs to advance gene therapy.

Primary objective:

\- To characterize the safety of Filgrastim plus plerixafor in participants with life threatening blood disorders as determined by the incidence of adverse events (AEs).

Secondary Objectives:

* To measure the mobilization effects of Filgrastim plus plerixafor in the peripheral blood in participants as determined by peak peripheral blood CD34+ counts. * To characterize the feasibility of HSPC mobilization using Filgrastim plus plerixafor as determined by peripheral blood CD34+ counts. * To estimate efficacy of Filgrastim plus plerixafor for HSPC mobilization and apheresis collection in participants as determined by the yield of CD34+ cells (CD34+ cells/kg).

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events following filgrastim plus plerixafor administration

Safety will be assessed by the incidence, type, and severity of adverse events occurring after administration of filgrastim plus plerixafor in participants with bone marrow failure syndromes.

Time frame
From initiation of drug administration through Day +7 to +10 follow-up

Secondary outcomes

1

Number of participants achieving peripheral blood CD34+ counts ≥5 cells/µL

Feasibility of hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell mobilization will be assessed by peripheral blood CD34+ cell counts measured after plerixafor administration and prior to or during apheresis.

Time frame
From initiation of plerixafor administration through completion of apheresis, or 6 hours after drug administration if apheresis is not performed
2

Peripheral blood CD34+ kinetics following filgrastim plus plerixafor administration

Peripheral blood CD34+ cell counts will be measured after plerixafor administration and prior to or during apheresis.

Time frame
After plerixafor administration through completion of apheresis, or 6 hours after drug administration if apheresis is not performed
3

Observed CD34+ cell yield after 1 blood volume apheresis

CD34+ cell yield (CD34+ cells/kg) collected after processing 1 blood volume during apheresis following filgrastim plus plerixafor administration.

Time frame
At completion of 1 blood volume apheresis on Day 5
4

Estimated total CD34+ cell yield from projected full-volume apheresis

Estimated total CD34+ cell yield (CD34+ cells/kg) projected from the observed yield after processing 1 blood volume during apheresis.

Time frame
At completion of 1 blood volume apheresis on Day 5
