Addition of JSP191 (C-kit Antibody) to Non-myeloablative Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation For Sickle Cell Disease and Beta-Thalassemia

About the study

Background:

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is an inherited disorder of the blood. It can damage a person s organs and cause serious illness and death. A blood stem cell transplant is the only potential cure for SCD. Treatments that improve survival rates are needed.

Objective:

To find out if a new antibody drug (briquilimab, JSP191) improves the success of a blood stem cell transplant

Eligibility:

People aged 13 or older who are eligible for a blood stem cell transplant to treat SCD. Healthy family members over age 13 who are matched to transplant recipients are also needed to donate blood.

Design:

Participants receiving transplants will undergo screening. They will have blood drawn. They will have tests of their breathing and heart function. They may have chest x-rays. A sample of marrow will be collected from a pelvic bone.

Participants will remain in the hospital about 30 days for the transplant and recovery. They will have a large intravenous line inserted into the upper arm or chest. The line will remain in place for the entire transplant and recovery period. The line will be used to draw blood as needed. It will also be used to administer the transplant stem cells as well as various drugs and blood transfusions. Participants will also receive some drugs by mouth.

Participants must remain within 1 hour of the NIH for 3 months after transplant. During that time, they will visit the clinic up to 2 times a week.

Follow-up visits will include tests to evaluate participants mental functions. They will have MRI scans of their brain and heart.

Non disease specific Ages >=4 years (>=18 years for phase 1 portion of the study)
6/6 HLA matched family donor available
Ability to comprehend and willing to sign an informed consent, assent obtained from minors
Negative serum or urine beta-HCG, when applicable
Agree to use birth control throughout the study and 12 months after drug product infusion.
Female subjects must agree to use a medically acceptable method of birth control such as oral contraceptive, intrauterine device, barrier and spermicide, or contraceptive implant/injection from start of screening through 12 months after drug product infusion.

Male subjects must agree to use effective contraception (including condoms) from start of screening through 12 months after drug product infusion.

3. Patients and Capacity to Consent

Subject provides informed consent prior to initiation of any study procedures.

Subject understands and agrees to comply with planned study procedures.

4. Donor

Fully matched human leukocyte antigen (HLA) donors at A, B, C, and DR loci (8 of 8 or 10 of 10) are intended for this study. Donors age 4 or older and >=20 kg, eligible to donate hematopoietic stem cells, who are additionally willing to donate blood for research are eligible for this study. Donors will be evaluated in accordance with existing Standard NIH Policies and Procedures for determination of eligibility and suitability for clinical donation. Note that participation in this study is offered to all eligible donors, but is not required for a donor to make a stem cell donation, so it is possible that not all donors will enroll onto this study.

participation restrictions
