Study of Gene Modified Donor T-cells Following TCR Alpha Beta Positive Depleted Stem Cell Transplant (NCT03301168)

Phase I/II Study of CaspaCIDeยฎ T Cells From an HLA-Partially Matched Family Donor After Negative Selection of TCR ฮฑฮฒ+T Cells in Pediatric Patients Affected by Hematological Disorders

๐Ÿ”ต Active, Not Recruiting Phase1 / Phase2 ๐Ÿ’Š Investigational Drug / Biologic Sponsor: Bellicum Pharmaceuticals

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

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).
