Study of Gene Modified Donor T-cells Following TCR Alpha Beta Positive Depleted Stem Cell Transplant

NCT03301168

Description:

This study will evaluate pediatric patients with malignant or non-malignant blood cell disorders who are having a blood stem cell transplant depleted of T cell receptor (TCR) alfa and beta cells that comes from a partially matched family donor. The study will assess whether immune cells, called T cells, from the family donor, that are specially grown in the laboratory and given back to the patient along with the stem cell transplant can help the immune system recover faster after transplant. As a safety measure these T cells have been programmed with a self-destruct switch so that they can be destroyed if they start to react against tissues (graft versus host disease).

Purpose

This study will evaluate pediatric patients with malignant or non-malignant blood cell disorders who are having a blood stem cell transplant depleted of T cell receptor (TCR) alfa and beta cells that comes from a partially matched family donor. The study will assess whether immune cells, called T cells, from the family donor, that are specially grown in the laboratory and given back to the patient along with the stem cell transplant can help the immune system recover faster after transplant. As a safety measure these T cells have been programmed with a self-destruct switch so that they can be destroyed if they start to react against tissues (graft versus host disease).

Detailed Description

      This is a Phase 1/2 study evaluating the safety and feasibility of BPX-501 T cells infused
      after partially mismatched, related, TCR alpha beta T cell depleted hematopoietic stem cell
      transplant (HSCT) in pediatric patients. The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine
      whether BPX-501 infusion can enhance immune reconstitution in those patients with hematologic
      disorders, with the potential for reducing the severity and duration severe acute graft
      versus host disease (GvHD).

      The trial will also evaluate the treatment of GvHD by the infusion of dimerizer drug
      (AP1903/rimiducid) in those subjects who present with GVHD that does not adequately respond
      to standard of care therapy.
