Brief Summary:
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).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Leukemia, Acute Myeloid (AML), Child Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin Myelodysplastic Syndrome Primary Immunodeficiency Anemia, Aplastic Osteopetrosis Hemoglobinopathies Cytopenia Fanconi Anemia Diamond Blackfan Anemia Thalassemia Anemia, Sickle Cell Biological: BPX-501 T cells Drug: rimiducid Phase 1 Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This is a Phase 2 extension 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.

    e. congenital/hereditary cytopenia, including Fanconi Anemia before any clonal malignant evolution (MDS, AML).

Note: Subjects will be eligible if they meet either item 5 OR item 6.

  • Lack of suitable conventional donor (HLA identical sibling or HLA phenotypically identical relative or 10/10 unrelated donor evaluated using high resolution molecular typing) or presence of rapidly progressive disease not permitting time to identify an unrelated donor
  • A minimum genotypic identical match of 5/10 is required.
  • The donor and recipient must be identical, as determined by high resolution typing, on at least one allele of each of the following genetic loci: HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-Cw, HLA- DRB1 and HLA-DQB1.
