Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Withdrawn

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This proposal is a phase I/II feasibility study to demonstrate that mixed chimerism can be established with minimal risk in recipients with hemoglobinopathies treated with Campath-1H-based nonmyeloablative conditioning and graft engineering to reduce the risk of Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD), but preserve engraftment of donor cells.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

    • Subjects must have adequate cardiopulmonary function as documented by echocardiogram or radionuclide scan. (Shortening fraction >26% or ejection fraction >40% or ≥ 80% of normal value for age).
    • Subjects must have adequate pulmonary function documented by Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) of ≥ 50% of predicted for age and/or Diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DLCO) (corrected for hemoglobin) ≥50% of predicted for age for patients > 10 years of age.
    • Subjects must have adequate hepatic function as demonstrated by a serum albumin ≥ 3.0 mg/dL, and serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) or serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) less than or equal to 5 times the upper limit of normal. Liver biopsy or a liver MRI is necessary if the patient has received chronic transfusions for over a year and/or has a ferritin level of ≥ 1600.
    • Subjects must have adequate renal function as demonstrated by a serum creatinine less than or equal to 2 mg/dL. If serum creatinine is ≥ 2 mg/dL, then a creatinine clearance test or nuclear medicine GFR should document GFR of ≥ 50 ml/min/1.73 m2.
    • Subjects or legal guardians must give written informed consent.
    • Female patients of childbearing potential cannot be pregnant or lactating/breast-feeding and must be either surgically sterile, postmenopausal (no menses for the previous 12 months), or must be practicing an effective method of birth control as determined by the investigator (e.g., oral contraceptives, double barrier methods, hormonal injectable or implanted contraceptives, tubal ligation, or partner with vasectomy).
    • Less than or equal to 45 years of age.

  2. Exclusion Criteria

    • Patients with cirrhosis, extensive bridging hepatic fibrosis, or active hepatitis are excluded from enrollment.
    • Uncontrolled infection or severe concomitant diseases, which in the judgment of the Principal Investigator, indicate that the patient could not tolerate reduced intensity transplantation.
    • Severe impairment of functional performance as evidenced by a Karnofsky score <70% (patients ≥16 years old) or Lansky (children <16 years old) score <70%
    • Renal insufficiency (GFR <50 ml/min/1.73 m2).
    • Subjects with a positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody test result.
    • Subjects who are pregnant, as indicated by a positive serum human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) test.
    • Subjects whose only donor is pregnant at the time of intended transplant.
    • Subjects of childbearing potential who are not practicing adequate contraception as defined by the investigator at the site.
    • Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant within the previous 1 year.
    • Subjects must not have had previous radiation therapy that would preclude total body irradiation (TBI) (as determined by a radiation therapist).
