A Phase 1-3 Study of T-Cell Receptor Engineered Donor T Cells in Subjects Undergoing Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation (ALLOHA-2)
(ALLOHA-2)
What this study is about
This is a conducted at multiple hospitals, genetically-randomly assigned, controlled, Phase 3 study evaluating the effectiveness and safety of T-cell receptor-engineered donor T cells targeting HA-2 (TSC-101) administered following reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in participants with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS).
View original scientific description
This is a multicenter, genetically-randomized, controlled, Phase 3 study evaluating the efficacy and safety of T-cell receptor-engineered donor T cells targeting HA-2 (TSC-101) administered following reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in participants with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The study will compare TSC-101 plus standard of care (SOC) versus SOC alone in participants undergoing allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation from haploidentical or mismatched unrelated donors.

- Patient or legally authorized representative (LAR) capable of giving signed informed consent and willingness to comply with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form (ICF) and clinical protocol.
- Agrees to participate in long-term follow-up (LTFU) for up to 15 years post the final infusion of TSC-101 if they receive a TSC-101 infusion.
- Contraceptive use by male and female subjects must be consistent with local regulations regarding the methods of contraception for those participating in clinical studies. At a minimum:
- A male subject must agree to use a highly effective contraceptive during the intervention period and for at least 12 months after the last TSC-101 infusion and refrain from donating sperm during this period.
- A female subject is eligible to participate if she is not pregnant, not breastfeeding, and at least one of the following conditions applies:
- Not a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) as defined in Appendix 2 OR
- A WOCBP who agrees to follow the contraceptive guidance in Appendix 2 during the intervention period and for at least 12 months after the last TSC-101 infusion. Subject
Exclusion criteria
- Patients are excluded from the study if any of the following criteria apply:
- Potential treatment-arm patient is positive for HLA-A\*02:07. • Patients considered for the control arm can be positive for HLA-A\*02 (including HLA-A\*02:07).
- For patients with AML: those in third complete remission (CR3) or greater, partial remission, or with active AML disease.
- If patient required hemodialysis or mechanical ventilation within 3 months prior to enrollment, circumstances must be discussed with the Sponsor Medical Monitor.
- Prior allo-HCT.
- Use of anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), alemtuzumab, or other in vivo or ex vivo T-cell depleting agents from Day -14 (pre-HCT) through end of study (EOS). Corticosteroids and maintenance therapies may be allowed under certain circumstances.
- History of hypersensitivity to murine proteins.
- Enrollment in a concomitant study with an investigational agent. All other concomitant trials must be reviewed and approved by the Medical Monitor.
- Cardiac disease, defined as:
- Uncontrolled or symptomatic angina within the past 3 months.
- History of clinically significant arrhythmias (such as ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, torsades de pointes). Atrial fibrillation with controlled ventricular response on treatment is not an exclusion.
- Myocardial infarction \< 6 months from study entry.
- Uncontrolled or symptomatic congestive heart failure.
- Cardiac ejection fraction at rest of less than 40% or shortening fraction of less than 22% by echocardiogram or radionuclide scan (multi-gated acquisition \[MUGA\] scan).
- Medical or psychological conditions that would make the patient an unsuitable candidate for participation on a cell therapy trial, including active central nervous system disease and/or prior malignancy(s) within the last 3 years, except:
- Lobular breast carcinoma in situ, fully resected basal cell or squamous cell carcinoma of skin or treated cervical carcinoma in situ will be allowed. Cancer treated with curative intent ≥ 3 years previously will be allowed Donor Inclusion Criteria:
- Male or female ≥ 50 kg and aged ≥ 16 years at the time of signing informed consent who meet the criteria to donate as per the institutional SOC.
- Capable of giving signed informed consent, or assent/parental consent per institutional SOC, which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the ICF and in this protocol.
- For treatment-arm donors: able to undergo peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) collection and at least 2 rounds of leukapheresis (for both TSC-101 manufacturing and the stem cell collection for HCT).
- For treatment-arm donors: negative for all HLA-A\*02 alleles • Donors for control-arm subjects do not have to be negative for HLA-A\*02 alleles. Donor Exclusion Criteria:
- Donors for control-arm subjects who do not meet institutional standards for donor selection.
- Donors for treatment-arm subjects:
- Who test positive for any of the following: human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-1, HIV-2, human T-lymphotropic virus (HTLV)-1, HTLV-2, seropositive or with active hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus infection, syphilis, West Nile virus through central lab testing. Donors who screen positive for Creutzfeldt Jakob disease using donor history questionnaires will also be excluded. Donors with evidence of past cytomegalovirus (CMV) or Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infections will be allowed.
- For whom the treating Investigator deems subject level donor-specific HLA antibodies are high enough to warrant treatment with desensitization protocols.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
