Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of TXA127 (Angiotensin 1-7) to Enhance Engraftment in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Single or Double Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation

August 29, 2016 updated by: Tarix Pharmaceuticals
Engraftment failure is a major obstacle to the success of cord blood transplantation in children with malignancies and inherited metabolic disorders, despite the fact that they receive relatively high doses of nucleated cells from UCB. TXA127 is pharmaceutically formulated Angiotensin 1-7 [A(1-7)], a non-hypertensive derivative of Angiotensin-II (which contains the 8th amino acid conferring receptor binding to blood pressure receptors). TXA127 has multilineage effects on hematopoietic progenitors in vitro and in vivo. Preclinical data show that TXA127 is a novel stimulator of early multilineage hematopoietic progenitors, increases engraftment of committed hematopoietic progenitors, and induces more rapid production of platelets and neutrophils in the peripheral circulation, especially in limited cell number transplants. Treatment with TXA127 following UCBT is expected to increase the numbers of hematopoietic progenitors and accelerate engraftment.

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Interventional

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.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. 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.

Ages Eligible for Study

6 months to 20 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject, parent, or legal guardian provided written informed consent.
  • Subjects must be >6 months and <21 years of age.

  • Subjects must have one or two available 4, 5, or 6/6 antigen matching unrelated UCB unit(s) that will deliver a cell dose between 3.0-5.0 x 107cells/kg.

    • These units must be HLA-matched minimally at 4 of 6 HLA-A and B (at intermediate resolution by molecular typing) and DRB1 (at high resolution by molecular typing) loci with the subject.
    • If two CB units will be used, the units must be HLA-matched at 3 of 6 HLA- A, B, and DRB1 loci with each other (using same resolution of molecular typing as indicated above).
    • For a single unit transplant, a minimum of 3 x 107cells/kg will be required.
    • For a double unit transplant, HLA-matched units must be available such that together both units deliver a combined pre-cryopreserved nucleated cell dose of at least 4.0 x 107 cells/kg with 1 unit of at least 2.5 x 107 cells/kg and the other at least 1.5 x 107 cells/kg.
  • Subjects must have histologically confirmed diagnosis of a hematologic malignancy or a laboratory confirmed inherited metabolic disease.
  • Subjects who have had a prior autologous or allogeneic transplant are allowed to participate provided it has been >1 year since the transplant was completed.
  • Subjects must not have active CNS disease at the time of study enrollment.
  • Subjects must have a life expectancy of >4 months.

  • Female subjects capable of reproduction (defined as a subject who has started menses) must agree to the following:

    • Use of an effective oral or IM contraceptive method during the course of the study and 2 months following the last administration of study drug.
    • Female subjects capable of reproduction must have a negative pregnancy test result within 3 days prior to first study drug dose.

  • Subjects must have adequate function of other organ systems as measured by:

    • Creatinine <2.0 mg/dL and creatinine clearance >50 mL/min.
    • Hepatic transaminases (ALT/AST) <4 x ULN, bilirubin <2.0 mg/dL.
    • Adequate cardiac function by echocardiogram or MUGA scan (ejection fraction or shortening fraction >80% of normal value for age).
    • Pulmonary function tests demonstrating FVC and FEV1 of >60% of predicted. DLCO should be used for subjects >10 years old. Crying vital capacity of >60% may be substituted for subjects unable to complete PFTs.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subjects with an uncontrolled infection at the time of cytoreduction.
  • Subjects who are pregnant or breast feeding.
  • Subjects who are known to be seropositive for HIV or HTLV-1.
  • Subjects who have had an autologous or allogeneic transplant <1 year from the anticipated administration of the first dose of study drug.
  • Subjects who have received treatment with an investigational agent within 30 days of anticipated administration of the first dose of study drug.
  • Subjects with current alcohol use, illicit drug use or any other condition (e.g., psychiatric disorder) that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may interfere with the subject's ability to comply with the study requirements or visit schedule.
  • Subjects must not have any co-morbid condition which, in the view of the Principal Investigators, renders the subject at too high a risk from treatment complications and regimen-related morbidity/mortality.
