(CVID/PIRD)
What this study is about
This is a research protocol that will examine Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) using a reduced conditioning regimen (RIC) with total body Irradiation (TBI) in those diagnosed with Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) and Other Autoimmune Manifestations of Primary Immune Regulatory Disorders (PIRD).
View original scientific description
This is a research protocol that will examine Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) using a reduced conditioning regimen (RIC) with total body Irradiation (TBI) in those diagnosed with Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) and Other Autoimmune Manifestations of Primary Immune Regulatory Disorders (PIRD).
Interventions
BIOLOGICAL
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT)
The participant will receive an allogenic, fully (8 of 8 match) or partially HLA-matched (6-7/8 HLA-matched), stem cell transplant utilizing a conditioning regimen of alemtuzumab/Campath, anti-thymocyte globulin/rabbit ATG, Fludarabine and Melphalan and total body irradiation.
Primary outcome measures
Survival post-HSCT
Time frame: 2 years post transplant
review of the existing medical records to check on the participant's survival status
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Patient, parent, or legal guardian must have given written informed consent. For pediatric subjects who are developmentally able, assent or affirmation will be obtained.
- Male or female, 5 through 40 years old, inclusive, at the time of informed consent.
- Patients must have evidence of common variable immunodeficiency (CVID) or other autoimmune manifestation of a primary immune regulatory disorder (PIRD). Genetic screening is required by a targeting gene panel to determine presence of genetic variations that may lead to inborn errors of immunity. Examples of such diseases include, but are not limited to:
- Common variable immunodeficiency (CVID)
- Combined Immunodeficiency (CID)
- Immune dysregulation polyendocrinopathy enteropathy X-linked (IPEX syndrome), IPEX like syndromes
- Combined immunodeficiency with defects in T-cell-mediated immunity, including Omenn syndrome and DiGeorge Syndrome
- Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD)
- Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT 1) Gain of Function (STAT1 GOF)
- Signal Transducer and Activator of Transcription (STAT 3) Gain of Function (STAT3 GOF)
- Hypomorphic Recombination-Activating Genes (RAG) 1 and RAG 2
- CD40 or CD40L deficiency
- Mendelian Susceptibility to Mycobacterial Disease
- GATA-binding factor 2 (GATA2) Associated Immunodeficiency
- Mouth and Genital Ulcers with Inflamed Cartilage Syndrome (MAGIC)
- Must have previously failed, due to lack of response or intolerance, mycophenolate mofetil and a B cell-depleting antibody, such as Rituximab
- Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) ≥50 mL/min/1.73 m2
- Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) ≤4x upper limit of normal
- Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) ≤4x upper limit of normal
- Direct bilirubin ≤ 2.5 mg/dL
- Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) negative by serology and PCR
- Human T-cell Lymphotropic Virus (HTLV) negative by serology
- Cardiac ejection fraction ≥ 40% or shortening fraction ≥26%
- Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) and Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 second (FEV1) ≥40% predicted for age
- Peripheral Capillary Oxygen Saturation (SpO2) of \>92% at rest on room air
- Subjects must be a minimum of 8 weeks post-solid organ transplant prior to start of conditioning, if applicable
- Negative pregnancy test for females \>10 years old or who have reached menarche, unless surgically sterilized.
- All females of childbearing potential and sexually active males must agree to use a FDA approved method of birth control for up to 12 months after stem cell transplant or for as long as they are taking any medication that may harm a pregnancy, an unborn child or may cause birth defects.
- Subject and/or parent guardian informed of the potential risks of infertility following stem cell transplant and advised to discuss sperm banking or oocyte harvesting.
- Transplant endorsement from clinical immunologist
Exclusion criteria
- Allergy to Dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) or any other ingredient used in the manufacturing of the stem cell product
- Uncontrolled systemic infection, as determined by the appropriate confirmatory testing e.g. blood cultures, Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing, etc.
- Recent recipient of any licensed or investigational live attenuated vaccine(s) within 4 weeks of stem cell transplant
- Past or current medical problems or findings from physical examination or laboratory testing that are not listed above, which, in the opinion of the investigator, may pose additional risks from participation in the study, may interfere with the subject's ability to comply with study requirements or that may impact the quality or interpretation of the data obtained from the study.

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.
