Precision-T: A Randomized Study of Orca-T in Recipients Undergoing Allogeneic Transplantation for Hematologic Malignancies (Orca-T)

April 8, 2024 updated by: Orca Biosystems, Inc.

A Randomized Phase III Trial of Patients With Advanced Hematologic Malignancies Undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation With Either Orca-T, a T-cell-Depleted Graft With Additional Infusion of Conventional T Cells and Regulatory T Cells, or Standard-of-Care Allogeneic Graft

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of Orca-T, an allogeneic stem cell and T-cell immunotherapy biologic manufactured for each patient (transplant recipient) from the mobilized peripheral blood of a specific, unique donor. It is composed of purified hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs), purified regulatory T cells (Tregs), and conventional T cells (Tcons) in participants undergoing myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant transplantation for hematologic malignancies.

This posting represents the Phase III component of Precision-T. The Precision-T Ph1b component is described under NCT04013685.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Orca-T
For patients randomized to the Orca-T arm, Orca-T will be administered after myeloablative conditioning regimen. Single-agent GVHD prophylaxis with tacrolimus will be administered following Tcon infusion (generally Day +3).
an allogeneic stem cell and T-cell immunotherapy biologic
Active Comparator: Standard of Care alloHCT Control
For patients randomized to the standard-of-care control arm, an unmanipulated allograft derived from the peripheral blood of a matched donor will be administered after a myeloablative conditioning regimen.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Chronic Graft-versus-Host-Disease-free Survival
Time Frame: Randomization through 730 days post transplant
An event for this time-to-event outcome is defined as death by any cause or moderate to severe cGVHD as defined by NIH consensus criteria, whichever is earlier.
Randomization through 730 days post transplant

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Time to moderate or severe cGVHD
Time Frame: Randomization through 730 days post transplant
An event for this time-to-event outcome is defined as time from randomization to the first onset of of moderate or severe cGVHD within 730 days after randomization. Death within 730 days after randomization without prior moderate or severe cGVHD is considered a competing event.
Randomization through 730 days post transplant
Graft-versus-Host Disease and Relapse-free survival (GRFS) up to 1 year
Time Frame: Day 0 through 365 days post-transplant
GRFS is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause, relapse, the first onset of grade 3 or 4 aGVHD (graded per MAGIC criteria), or the first onset of moderate or severe cGVHD (graded per NIH consensus criteria), whichever is earliest.
Day 0 through 365 days post-transplant
Overall Survival
Time Frame: 730 days after end of enrollment
OS is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause .
730 days after end of enrollment
