A Single Center, Open Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of β-globin Restored Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cells in ß-Thalassemia Major Patients

This is an open label study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of β-globin Restored Autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cells in ß-Thalassemia Major Patients

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Not yet recruiting

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

Subjects with ß-Thalassemia major will be recruited and their autologous hematopoietic stem cells will be collected and modified with LentiHBBT87Q system to restore the β-globin expression. After conditioning, the β-globin restored autologous hematopoietic stem cells will be infused back to patients, and a 2 years follow up visit will be conducted and the data will be collected. Participants in this study will be also asked to participant in a subsequent follow up study that will monitor the long-term safety and efficacy of the treatment for up to 13 years post-transplantation.

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

8 years to 16 years (Child)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Frequency and severity of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events (SAEs)
Time Frame: 0-100 days
The number and the percentage of adverse events related to transplantation in 100 days will be summarized according to NCI CTCAE 5.0.

Number of patients alive through the whole trial will be record.
0-24 months
Proportion of engraftments

Dynamics of viral integration sites (VIS)
Time Frame: 0-24 months
Evaluation of the percentage of participants without abnormal clonal proliferation and polyclonal engraftment at 6, 12, 18 and 24 months after transplant. More than 1000 VIS retrieved from peripheral blood should be checked.
0-24 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.

Time Frame: 18-24 Months
The average insertion copy number (VCN) should be ≥0.1 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells.
