Study summary

The purpose of this study is to determine if infusing additional special donor cells will help to improve graft or immune function in previously transplanted children with immune deficiencies and bone marrow failures.

Read the detailed description

The purpose of this study is to investigate the usefulness of infusing purified CD34+ cells of donor origin in order to augment graft function in response to declining chimerism after initially performing an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) for children with primary immunodeficiency diseases. This protocol will be utilized for patients with waning mixed donor chimerism that is inadequate for correction of clinical condition or disease for which stem cell transplant was performed, or for augmentation of immune function. An infusion of selected CD34+ stem cells will be given without any preparative regimen. As the children eligible for this protocol have reduced immune function and pre-existing donor chimerism, we hypothesize that stem cells will be able to engraft and the infusion will augment graft function. This therapy serves as an alternative to a second stem cell transplant that is known to be associated with significant morbidity and mortality. CD34+ stem cells will be collected from the donor used for initial stem cell transplant. Cells will be T-cell depleted (TCD) by performing a CD34 selection using the CliniMACS device (Miltenyi Biotec) in order to prevent development of new or exacerbation of existing graft versus host disease (GVHD), as avoidance of GVHD in nonmalignant diseases is desirable. There is sufficient data showing that mixed donor chimerism is adequate for reverting disease phenotype in certain primary immunodeficiencies. Observations from Europe and CCHMC show that donor chimerism might be boosted by CD34+ stem cell infusion alone without any specific preparative regimen. This therapy is likely to be associated with low toxicity due to the absence of a preparative regimen and lack of exposure to fresh donor cells capable of initiating GVHD, and offers potential significant benefit.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

To be eligible for this protocol, patients must have the following:

  1. Primary immunodeficiency (e.g. SCID, Wiskott-Aldrich and/or other more rare conditions and other bone marrow failure syndromes) with prior stem cell transplant.
  2. Waning donor chimerism or immune function that is inadequate to correct their disease or clinical condition, for which primary transplant was given, as determined by their attending physician.
  3. Available primary donor.
  4. Must not have other organ dysfunction deemed by the attending physician to preclude this procedure.
  5. Age \< 35 years at time of transplant
  6. One of the following must be true:

    • Patients must have evidence of persistent or recurrent immunodeficiency or thrombocytopenia.

-OR-

  • Primary immunodeficiency disease with known potential to progress to malignant condition if untreated.

-OR-

  • Debilitating secondary disease known to be a consequence of inadequate immune response to known agent or pathogen, uncontrollable by other available medical therapies (e.g. third patient described on page 5).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Absence of an available original donor
  2. Failure to sign consent form, or inability to undergo process
  3. Pregnant or lactating female
  4. Uncontrolled
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

GVHD (graft-versus-host disease)

After a transplant from a donor, the donor’s immune cells attack the recipient’s body, often the skin, gut or liver.

The record gives a start of Oct 2010, a primary completion of Aug 2018 and a completion of Aug 2018. It does not say whether these dates are actual or estimated.

Results were first posted in Oct 2019, 1 year 2 months after primary completion.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 22, 2019, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
