- Washington University School of Medicine
- Brief Summary
Hematopoietic stem cell (HSC)-based gene therapies now offer curative potential for patients with sickle cell disease (SCD), with decreased toxicity compared to allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. However, effective HSC-based gene therapy depends on collecting sufficient HSCs to generate the therapeutic product, and currently available mobilizatio...

-
ECOG performance status ≤ 1
-
Normal bone marrow and organ function at screening as defined below:
- Leukocytes ≥ 2,000/uL
- Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1,500/uL
- Platelets ≥ 75,000/uL
- AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) ≤ 3.0 x IULN at time of screening
- Creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min by Cockcroft-Gault
- Baseline oxygen saturation ≥ 92% on room air
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 45% (Of note, transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) will not be required for study. However, if the treating physician has clinical concerns for active cardiac disease for which a TTE is clinically warranted as standard of care, then an EF of ≥ 45% will be required).
-
The effects of motixafortide and natalizumab on the developing human fetus are unknown. For this reason, women of childbearing potential and men must agree to use adequate contraception (hormonal or barrier method of birth control, abstinence) prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation, and 3 months after completion of the study. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while participating in this study, she must inform her treating physician immediately. Men treated or enrolled on this protocol must also agree to use adequate contraception prior to the study, for the duration of the study, and 3 months after completion of the study.
-
Ability to understand and willingness to sign an IRB approved written informed consent document (or that of legally authorized representative, if applicable).
- Patients may not have a history of receiving the following therapies: prior HCT or prior gene therapy
- Currently receiving concomitant immunosuppressants including 6-mercaptopurine, azathioprine, cyclosporine, methotrexate or concomitant inhibitors of TNF-α.
- Patient may not have a history of significant alloantibodies which, in the opinion of the treating physician and study investigator, significantly increase the risk of participation in this clinical trial.
- Currently receiving any other investigational agents.
- A history of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy
- A history of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to motixafortide or natalizumab.
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection (including but not limited to HIV, active/untreated Hepatitis C and/or active/untreated Hepatitis B), ongoing/active vaso-occlusive pain crisis or uncontrolled SCD-related symptoms, symptomatic congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular accident, unstable angina pectoris, or cardiac arrhythmia.
- Pregnant and/or breastfeeding. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum/urine pregnancy test within 7 days of study entry and prior to each study agent administration/HSC mobilization.
- Determined by the investigator to be unable or unlikely to comply with the study procedures included in this protocol.

Group Intervention Description Motixafortide followed by Motixafortide + Natalizumab Leukapheresis * Consenting and eligible patients will receive a single subcutaneous injection of motixafortide, followed by leukapheresis. Patient will then be followed for 8 weeks for adverse event monitoring. * Following the 8-week monitoring period, patients will receive a single IV infusion natalizumab, then approximately 32 hours later, a single subcutaneous injection of motixafortide, followed by leukapheresis. Patients will then be followed for 8 weeks for adverse event monitoring. Motixafortide followed by Motixafortide + Natalizumab Motixafortide * Consenting and eligible patients will receive a single subcutaneous injection of motixafortide, followed by leukapheresis. Patient will then be followed for 8 weeks for adverse event monitoring. * Following the 8-week monitoring period, patients will receive a single IV infusion natalizumab, then approximately 32 hours later, a single subcutaneous injection of motixafortide, followed by leukapheresis. Patients will then be followed for 8 weeks for adverse event monitoring. Motixafortide followed by Motixafortide + Natalizumab Natalizumab * Consenting and eligible patients will receive a single subcutaneous injection of motixafortide, followed by leukapheresis. Patient will then be followed for 8 weeks for adverse event monitoring. * Following the 8-week monitoring period, patients will receive a single IV infusion natalizumab, then approximately 32 hours later, a single subcutaneous injection of motixafortide, followed by leukapheresis. Patients will then be followed for 8 weeks for adverse event monitoring.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Safety and tolerability as assessed by the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) Through 28 days following administration of either motixafortide and/or natalizumab (estimated to be 8 weeks and 4 days) * All toxicities will be graded using NCI-CTCAE Version 5.0
* A DLT is an event occurring during the DLT period of 28 days following administration of either motixafortide and/or natalizumab that is considered to be at least possibly, probably or definitely related to study treatment by the investigator, and that meets the criteria below:

- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Number of CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) mobilized via leukapheresis per liter (L) of total volume (tV) processed following motixafortide alone and motixafortide + natalizumab Day 2 and Day 60 Frequency of adverse events From start of treatment through 8 weeks following completion of all treatment (estimated to be 16 weeks and 4 days) -All adverse events will be graded using NCI-CTCAE Version 5.0
Change in peak CD34+ HSC mobilization in response to motixafortide alone and motixafortide + natalizumab in SCD patients, as assessed by CD34+ cells/ul in peripheral blood From baseline through Day 60 Number of CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) mobilized via leukapheresis per liter (L) of adjusted volume (aV) processed, following motixafortide alone and motixafortide + natalizumab Day 2 and Day 60 -The adjusted volume will be calculated as the total volume (tV) processed minus the volumes processed to establish/re-establish the HSC collection interface (iV) to yield an adjusted volume (aV) (i.e. tV-iV=aV). The number of apheresis alarms along with the amount of time, flow rate and volumes processed to establish the interface will be recorded during ap...
