Trial summary

The constitution of blood relies upon hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which stay in the bone marrow and differentiate to all lineages of peripheral blood cells.

About this study

Official title: Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Collection for Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) Patients Using Plerixafor

The constitution of blood relies upon hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs), which stay in the bone marrow and differentiate to all lineages of peripheral blood cells. HSC transplantation is the only curative option currently available for sickle cell disease (SCD) patients either via allogeneic HSC transplantation or HSC-targeted gene therapy. Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF)- mobilized HSCs are frequently utilized in the adult setting of HSC transplantation because of the faster hematologic recovery as compared to bone marrow. As an autologous HSC source for gene therapy, bone marrow harvest has been generally employed since G-CSF has been prohibitive in SCD patients due to granulocyte stimulation and the associated reports of vaso-occlusive crises, multi-organ failure, and death. However, when bone marrow harvest is used, the amounts of collected cells are limited and anesthesia is required. In order to obtain HSCs in large numbers without anesthesia, patients will undergo mobilization followed by large volume apheresis. Plerixafor is an alternative treatment for mobilization without direct stimulation to granulocytes, and it is theoretically applicable for SCD patients. The primary endpoint of this study is to obtain sufficient amounts of HSCs collected from the peripheral blood in SCD patients after plerixafor

mobilization with an acceptable safety profile. The harvested products will be stored as backup for patients undergoing gene therapy as well as allogeneic HSC transplantation.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Plerixafor in people with Sickle Cell Disease, run by National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) at 1 site in United States.

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 8 inclusion and 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 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 1 site in United States. 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 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.

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 20 Apr 2020). 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?

Number of Participants With Sufficient Collection of Hemopoietic Stem Cells (HSCs) Without Serious Adverse Events (time frame: 1 day). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT03226691, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 21 Sep 2023.
