Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) for Children With SCID Utilizing Alemtuzumab, Plerixafor & Filgrastim

Phase 2
Terminated
Conditions
Severe Combined Immunodeficiency
Interventions
Drug: Transplant Conditioning with Mobilization and Alemtuzumab
Drug: Transplant Conditioning with Mobilization Only
Registration Number
NCT01182675
Lead Sponsor
University of California, San Francisco
Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to develop a novel approach to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for children with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease (SCID) that eliminates the use of toxic chemotherapy conditioning and maximizes the likelihood of T and B cell immune reconstitution. Rather than classic chemotherapeutic agents, the investigators will utilize a targeted stem cell mobilizer, plerixafor, in combination with alemtuzumab, a monoclonal antibody. Correlative scientific questions will include: 1) efficacy and characteristics of host stem cell mobilization; and 2) alemtuzumab pharmacokinetics in very young children.

Detailed Description

The goal of this study is to develop an approach to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for children with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disease (SCID) that eliminates the use of toxic chemotherapy conditioning and maximizes the likelihood of T and B cell immune reconstitution. SCID is a rare primary immunodeficiency disease in which there are multiple genotypes and phenotypes, and depending on various factors including the presence of B cell and NK cells, and the presence of maternal cells in the patient's circulation, there are numerous ways to approach a transplant. The major issues that must be addressed in any approach to transplantation for SCID are graft rejection and T and B cell immune reconstitution. Depending on the specific SCID diagnosis, the phenotype, and the presence of maternal engraftment at diagnosis, we will evaluate two transplant approaches that will attempt to optimize the engraftment of donor HSC and the likelihood of T and B cell reconstitution while eliminating the use of toxic chemotherapy conditioning.

1. Primary Objective: To determine if the administration of plerixafor \& filgrastim (G-CSF) prior to stem cell infusion results in increased donor stem cell occupancy of available bone marrow niches and B-cell engraftment in patients with SCID.

2. Secondary Objectives:

i. To determine if NK cell depletion with Alemtuzumab will overcome NK-mediated graft resistance in haplocompatible transplants for NK+ SCID.

ii. To determine the optimal dosing of Alemtuzumab in very young children. iii. To determine the immunophenotypic characteristics of CD34+ cells mobilized and engrafted in patients receiving plerixafor \& filgrastim prior to HCT.

iv. To determine the thymic output, as measured by T-cell receptor excision circles, in patients receiving haplocompatible transplants \& boosts.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Engraftment of Donor B-cells in Blood by STR Testing1 Year

Number of participants in whom donor B cells were detected in the patient's blood after HSCT.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of Acute GVHD100 Days
Incidence of Chronic GVHD2 Years
Percentage of Patients Who Become Independent From Regular IVIG Infusion2 Years

Based on B-cell function assays from the patient's blood, we will be able to determine if patients are able to successfully discontinue IVIG infusions.

Number of Patients With Engraftment of Donor Stem Cells in Bone Marrow by STR Testing1 Year

We will measure whether we are able to detect donor stem cells in the patient's bone marrow after HSCT.

Number of Patients Who Achieve Engraftment of Donor T-cells in Blood by STR Testing1 Year

We will measure whether we are able to detect donor T-cells in the patient's blood after HSCT.
