Brief Summary:

The investigators want to study if lower doses of chemotherapy will help babies with SCID to achieve good immunity with less short and long-term risks of complications after transplantation. This trial identifies babies with types of immune deficiencies that are most likely to succeed with this approach and offers them transplant early in life before they get severe infections or later if their infections are under control. It includes only patients receiving unrelated or mismatched related donor transplants.

The study will test if patients receiving transplant using either a low dose busulfan or a medium dose busulfan will have immune recovery of both T and B cells, measured by the ability to respond to immunizations after transplant. The exact regimen depends on the subtype of SCID the patient has. Donors used for transplant must be unrelated or half-matched related (haploidentical) donors, and peripheral blood stem cells must be used. To minimize the chance of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), the stem cells will have most, but not all, of the T cells removed, using a newer, experimental approach of a well-established technology. Once the stem cell transplant is completed, patients will be followed for 3 years. Approximately 9-18 months after the transplant, vaccinations will be administered, and a blood test measuring whether your child's body has responded to the vaccine will be collected.


Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
SCID Drug: Busulfan Device: Cell processing for TCRαβ+/CD19+ depletion Phase 2

Detailed Description:

This is a prospective, multicenter, phase II, open-label study of two reduced busulfan dose levels in newborns identified at birth with SCID of appropriate genotype/phenotype and clinical status, undergoing either haploidentical related or well-matched unrelated donor TCRαβ+/CD19+ depleted HCT. Subjects will be enrolled on either of 2 strata according to genotype (defects of cytokine receptor function i.e. IL2RG or JAK3 and defects of receptor recombination i.e. RAG1 or RAG2). Thus up to 32 subjects on each of 2 strata or 64 subjects total would be enrolled over 4 years with 3 years follow-up.

Patients with IL2RG/JAK3 would be randomized to receive busulfan targeted either to cumulative exposure of 25-35 mg*h/L or 55-65 mg*h/L with Thymoglobulin. Patients with RAG1/2 would be randomized to receive busulfan targeted to cumulative exposure of 25-35 mg*h/L or 55-65 mg*h/L, in conjunction with fludarabine, thiotepa and Thymoglobulin. Safety/feasibility of the novel TCR αβ+/CD19+ depleted allogeneic HCT strategy will be monitored on an ongoing basis using stopping rules for lack of neutrophil engraftment and other important short-term toxicities.

Donor selection would be determined clinically at the discretion of the treating clinicians at each site. Pharmacokinetic monitoring of busulfan exposure will be performed per local practices at CLIA-certified laboratories. Patients will receive busulfan and pharmacokinetic measurement to individualize dosing. Time-concentration data of the initial dose and subsequent doses will be reviewed centrally (Dr. Janel Long-Boyle) using a cloud-based application (InsightRx) to guide dose adjustment in real-time (Long-Boyle, Chan, Keizer, 2017, ASBMT Tandem abstract accepted). Clinical and laboratory data will be collected at defined time points over 3 years and entered in an electronic data capture system using study-specific case report forms. These data will be used to measure the outcomes including the primary outcome (cAUC of busulfan that promotes humoral immune reconstitution at 2 years post HCT with acceptable regimen-related toxicity at 42 days post HCT) and secondary outcomes (the quality of donor cell engraftment and immune function achieved in B and T cell compartments and survival). Mechanistic studies supporting the exploratory endpoints will be conducted centrally in designated laboratories.

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Low Dose Busulfan

Busulfan based preparative regimen targeted at area-under-the-curve (cAUC) exposure of 25-35 mg*h/L .

Randomization between the two dose levels will be done separately in each genotype stratum (RAG1/RAG2 and IL2RG/JAK3), using permuted blocks.

Drug: Busulfan
Randomization between low and medium doses of busulfan for TCR αβ+/CD19+ depleted haploidentical related and unrelated donor HCT.

Device: Cell processing for TCRαβ+/CD19+ depletion
T-cells and B-cells will be removed from the stem cells collected from the donor by an investigational process called alpha-beta CD3+/CD19+ t-cell depletion using a device called CliniMACS® prior to recipient infusion, hopefully minimizing the risk of significant graft vs. host disease (GVHD) or lymphoproliferative disorder.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Vaccine specific antibody response [ Time Frame: 2 years ]

    Humoral immune reconstitution by 2 years post HCT, defined by specific antibody response to tetanus toxoid. Criteria for evaluation of humoral immune response are the following:

    • Donor T cell chimerism ≥50%
    • B cell count ≥50 cells/microliter
    • IVIG independent for ≥12 weeks

    Subjects meeting the criteria receive 3 doses of tetanus toxoid at least 4 weeks apart, followed by measurement of tetanus titer at least 4-6 weeks after the 3rd dose. Those who achieve tetanus titer of ≥0.15 IU/ml after vaccination will meet the primary endpoint. Patients who have documented humoral immune response at a time prior to 2 years will be considered a success for the primary endpoint, while patients who do not have humoral immune response evaluated by 2 years will be considered failures for the primary endpoint.



Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Immune Reconstitution [ Time Frame: Up to 3 years ]
    • T cell immune reconstitution at 30 days, 60 days, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 2 years post-HCT.
    • Naïve T cell generation and thymic output at 3 months, 6 months, 12 months and 2 years post-HCT.
    • Freedom from immunoglobulin substitution will be assessed on all patients at 9 months, 12 months, 2 years and 3 years post-HCT. Patients who have not received IVIG for at least 12 weeks at the time of assessment will be considered free from immunoglobulin substitution.
    • Tetanus responses on all patients who complete a trial of vaccination by additional timepoints of 12 months, 18 months and 3 years post-HCT.
    • Live vaccine responses on all patients who undergo trial of vaccination by 3 years post-HCT

  2. Engraftment [ Time Frame: Neutrophil Engraftment: 42 days post-HCT. Donor cell chimerism up to 2 years post-HCT. ]
    • Neutrophil engraftment will be assessed on all patients and defined as achieving an absolute neutrophil count of >500 cells/microliter for 3 consecutive days by day 42 post-HCT
    • Donor cell chimerism (whole blood, sorted CD3 (T-cell), CD19 (B-cell) and CD56 (NK cell) and granulocyte (CD15)) at 42 days, 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 2 years post-HCT. Absolute B cell, NK cell and granulocyte counts will be measured.

  3. Overall Survival [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    Data to track overall survival will be collected at 1, 2 and 3 years post-HCT.

  4. Event Free Survival [ Time Frame: 3 years ]
    Data to track event free survival will be collected at 1, 2 and 3 years post-HCT. Events will be defined as 1) death from any cause, 2) rejection of the graft (T-cell and/or whole blood chimerism <5% donor), 3) graft failure necessitating a second HCT procedure from the same donor or a different donor, with or without conditioning, 4) DLI given for treatment of falling chimerism.

  5. Acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) [ Time Frame: day 100 and 6 months post HCT ]
    Occurrence of acute (grade II-IV and grade III-IV) GVHD.

  6. Chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGVHD) [ Time Frame: 2 years post HCT ]
    Occurrence of chronic GVHD by 6 months, 12 months and 24 months post-HCT.

  7. Post-HCT Complications [ Time Frame: Up to 2 years post-HCT ]
    • Infections
    • Targeted regimen related toxicity (severe veno-occlusive disease of the liver, idiopathic pneumonitis syndrome)
    • Autoimmunity

  8. Busulfan Pharmacokinetics [ Time Frame: Pre-HCT ]
    Blood samples will be collected on busulfan dosing days 1 and 3 at 2.35, 4, 6 and 8 hours from the time of the start of the infusion. The results will be used to estimate individual exposure (AUC and cAUC).
