About this study

Official title: Phase I/II Study of CaspaCIDe T Cells (BPX-501; Rivogenlecleucel) From an HLA Partially Matched Family Donor After Negative Selection of TCRαβ+ T Cells in Paediatric Patients Affected by Haematological Disorders

This study will evaluate pediatric patients with malignant or non-malignant blood cell disorders who are having a blood stem cell transplant depleted of T cell receptor (TCR) alfa and beta cells that comes from a partially matched family donor. The study will assess whether immune cells, called T cells, from the family donor, that are specially grown in the laboratory and given back to the patient along with the stem cell transplant can help the immune system recover faster after transplant. As a safety measure these T cells have been programmed with a self-destruct switch so that they can be destroyed if they start to react against tissues (Graft versus host disease).

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase I/II study evaluating the safety and feasibility of BPX-501 T cells infused after partially mismatched, related, TCR alpha beta T cell depleted hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) in pediatric patients. The purpose of this clinical trial is to determine whether BPX-501 infusion can enhance immune reconstitution in those patients with hematologic disorders, with the potential for reducing the severity and duration severe acute graft versus host disease (GvHD).

The trial will also evaluate the treatment of GvHD by the infusion of dimerizer drug (AP1903/rimiducid) in those subjects who present with GVHD who progress or do not respond to standard of care treatment.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Event-free Survival (EFS) at 180 Days After Transplant

    Events included transplant-related mortality (TRM) / non-relapse mortality (NRM), severe GvHD (acute Grades 2-4 organ or extensive chronic GvHD) and life-threatening infections (Grade 4). Time to the first event only is represented in the primary endpoint, if a subsequent event occurred in the same patient this was not captured in this outcome.

    There were no protocol-specified primary endpoints for Phase I of the study.

    Measured: 180 days after transplant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing BPX-501 T cells and Rimiducid in people with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Leukemia, Acute Myeloid (AML), Child, run by Bellicum Pharmaceuticals at 4 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United Kingdom, Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 4 Jan 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Event-free Survival (EFS) at 180 Days After Transplant (time frame: 180 days after transplant). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Sep 2023.
