Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?The objective of this clinical trial is to develop a cell therapy for Fanconi Anemia which enables enhanced donor hematopoietic and immune reconstitution with decreased toxicity by transplanting depleted stem cells from a donor after using an experimental antibody treatment called JSP-191 as a part of conditioning. This experimental treatment will hopefully cause fewer side effects than chemotherapy (the current standard of care method).
Participants will be administered the conditioning regimen, are assessed until they receive the depleted stem cell infusion, and will be followed for up to 2 years after the cell infusion.
What data supports the idea that Stem Cell Transplant + JSP191 for Fanconi Anemia is an effective treatment?The available research shows that Stem Cell Transplant + JSP191 is effective for treating Fanconi Anemia. In a study with 24 patients, 91.6% achieved successful engraftment, meaning the new stem cells started working in their bodies. The recovery times for important blood components were quick, with neutrophils recovering in about 12 days and platelets in about 10 days. The treatment was well tolerated, with no fatal side effects, and the survival rate was high, with 100% of patients surviving and 86.3% not experiencing major complications over a median follow-up of 5.2 years. This suggests that the treatment is a promising option for those without a matched donor.13468
Is the treatment Depleted Stem Cell Transplant, JSP191 a promising treatment for Fanconi Anemia?Yes, Depleted Stem Cell Transplant, JSP191 is a promising treatment for Fanconi Anemia. It has shown high success rates in helping patients recover their blood cells quickly and has a low risk of complications like graft-versus-host disease. The treatment has also demonstrated good survival rates, making it a strong option for patients without a matched donor.12378
What safety data is available for Stem Cell Transplant + JSP191 in treating Fanconi Anemia?The safety data for treatments involving TCRαβ+/CD19+-depleted stem cell transplantation in Fanconi Anemia shows promising results. In a study with 24 patients, primary engraftment was achieved in 91.6% of cases, with low incidences of acute (17.4%) and chronic (5.5%) GVHD. The conditioning regimen was well tolerated, with no fatal transplant-related toxicity observed. Overall survival was 100%, and event-free survival was 86.3% over a median follow-up of 5.2 years. This suggests that TCRαβ+/CD19+ depletion is a safe and effective method for stem cell transplantation in Fanconi Anemia.12358
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?The trial protocol does not specify if you must stop taking your current medications. However, you cannot participate if you have received investigational agents, biological, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy within 14 days of enrollment, or if you have taken androgens in the last 3 months.

Successful haploidentical bone marrow transplantation in Fanconi anemia. [2004]A 10-year-old girl with Fanconi anemia and severe aplastic anemia underwent a haploidentical BMT from her mother due to lack of a matched family donor. T cell depletion was done by positive selection of CD34 cells with immunomagnetic beads. Due to graft rejection a second haploidentical BMT from the father was successfully undertaken. No immunosuppression was given after the transplant. Immunological reconstitution took approximately 6 months, with no GVHD or severe infections. Such a transplant, containing a large purified CD34 cell fraction with a minimal number of added T cells, should be considered as the treatment of choice for patients with Fanconi anemia if no HLA matched donor is available.
Low risk of graft-versus-host disease with transplantation of CD34 selected peripheral blood progenitor cells from alternative donors for Fanconi anemia. [2019]Transplant results for Fanconi anemia with alternative-donor bone marrow transplantation currently entail a high incidence of graft failure and graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). The authors sought to improve outcome in this disease category with alternative donors with a 5-6/6 antigen match by transplantation of highly purified peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPC) using the Isolex 300i v2.5 device as a means of T-cell depletion to lessen the risk of GVHD.
Rejection of the second allogeneic graft in a child with Fanconi anemia reversed by antilymphocyte globulin and donor lymphocyte infusion. [2016]Rejection after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for Fanconi anemia (FA) is a complication with a high risk of mortality. We describe a patient who, following a second episode of rejection after a second allogeneic stem cell transplantation, was successfully treated with antilymphocyte globulin, followed by donor lymphocyte infusion. At three and a half years after donor lymphocyte infusion, she is alive with a Karnofsky score of 90%. Her molecular chimerism is of donor origin. Thus, donor lymphocyte infusion can be considered as a therapy option for rejection after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation for FA.
Generation and flow cytometric quality control of clinical-scale TCRαβ/CD19-depleted grafts. [2017]Label="BACKGROUND">The depletion of TCRαβ+ T cells and CD19+ B cells is a graft purification method for haploidentical stem cell transplantation (HSCT) retaining stem cells, NK cells and TCRγδ+ T cells. To avoid treatment-related occurrence of severe GvHD a precise quantification of residual TCRαβ+ T cells in the graft is of essential importance.
TCR-alpha/beta and CD19 depletion and treosulfan-based conditioning regimen in unrelated and haploidentical transplantation in children with acute myeloid leukemia. [2022]We evaluated the depletion of TCR-alpha/beta cells from the graft of children with high-risk AML, who received transplantation from unrelated (n=20) and haploidentical donors (n=13). The preparative regimen included treosulfan, melphalan, fludarabine and anti-thymocyte globulin. Grafts were PBSC engineered by TCR-alpha/beta and CD19 depletion. The graft contained a median of 9 × 10(6)/kg of CD34+ and 20 × 10(3)/kg of αβ-T cells. Post-transplant immune suppression included tacrolimus till day +30 and Mtx in 21 patients, tacrolimus in 5, Mtx in 2 and no prophylaxis in 5 patients. Sixteen patients received native or TCR-alpha/beta-depleted donor lymphocytes at a median of 47 (40-204) days. Median follow-up is 1.76 years. Primary engraftment was achieved in 33 patients (100%). Cumulative incidence of acute GvHD (aGvHD) grade 2-3 was 39 (26-60)%, half of them had skin-only aGvHD. Cumulative incidence of chronic GvHD was 30(18-50)%. Transplant-related mortality is 10(4-26)%. Event-free survival (EFS) is 60(43-76)% and overall survival (OS) is 67(50-84)% at 2 years. In a subgroup of patients, who received transplantation in CR, EFS is 66(48-84)% and OS-72(53-90)% at 2 years. Our data suggest that TCR-alpha/beta and CD19 depletion is a robust method of graft manipulation, which can be used to engineer grafts for children with AML.
TcRαβ-depleted haploidentical transplantation results in adult acute leukemia patients. [2017]The use of αβ+ T-cell-depleted grafts is a novel approach to prevent graft failure, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and non-relapse mortality (NRM) in patients undergoing haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Haplo-identical or mismatched unrelated donor hematopoietic cell transplantation for Fanconi anemia: Results from the Severe Aplastic Anemia Working Party of the EBMT. [2021]Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) is the only curative option for bone marrow failure or hematopoietic malignant diseases for Fanconi anemia (FA) patients. Although results have improved over the last decades, reaching more than 90% survival when a human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-identical donor is available, alternative HCT donors are still less reported. We compared HCT outcomes using HLA-mismatched unrelated donors (MMUD; n = 123) or haplo-identical donors (HDs), either using only in vivo T cell depletion (n = 33) or T cells depleted in vivo with some type of graft manipulation ex vivo (n = 59) performed for FA between 2000 and 2018. Overall survival (OS) by 24 months was 62% (53-71%) for MMUD, versus 80% (66-95%) for HDs with only in vivo T cell depletion and 60% (47-73%) for HDs with in vivo and ex vivo T cell depletion (p = .22). Event-free survival (EFS) was better for HD-transplanted FA patients with only in vivo T cell depletion 86% (73-99%) than for those transplanted from a MMUD 58% (48-68%) or those with graft manipulation 56% (42-69%) (p = .046). Grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was 41% (MMUD) versus 40% (HDs with no graft manipulation) versus 17% (HDs with T cell depleted graft), (p = .005). No differences were found for the other transplant related outcomes. These data suggest that HDs might be considered as an alternative option for FA patients with better EFS using unmanipulated grafts.
HLA-haploidentical TCRαβ+/CD19+-depleted stem cell transplantation in children and young adults with Fanconi anemia. [2022]We report on the outcome of 24 patients with Fanconi anemia (FA) lacking an HLA matched related or unrelated donor, given an HLA-haploidentical T-cell receptor αβ (TCRαβ+) and CD19+ cell-depleted hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in the context of a prospective, single-center phase 2 trial. Sustained primary engraftment was achieved in 22 (91.6%) of 24 patients, with median time to neutrophil recovery of 12 days (range, 9-15 days) and platelet recovery of 10 days (range, 7-14 days). Cumulative incidences of grade 1 to 2 acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and chronic GVHD were 17.4% (95% confidence interval [CI], 5.5%-35.5%) and 5.5% (95% CI, 0.8%-33.4%), respectively. The conditioning regimen, which included fludarabine, low-dose cyclophosphamide and, in most patients, single-dose irradiation was well tolerated; no fatal transplant-related toxicity was observed. With a median follow-up of 5.2 years (range, 0.3-8.7 years), the overall and event-free survival probabilities were 100% and 86.3% (95% CI, 62.8%-95.4%), respectively (2 graft failures and 1 case of poor graft function were considered as events). The 2 patients who experienced primary graft failure underwent a subsequent successful HSCT from the other parent. This is the first report of FA patients given TCRαβ+/CD19+-depleted haplo-HSCT in the context of a prospective trial, and the largest series of T-cell-depleted haplo-HSCT in FA reported to date. This trial was registered at www.clinicaltrials.gov as #NCT01810120.
