TCR Alpha Beta T-cell Depleted Haploidentical HCT in the Treatment of Primary Immunodeficiency and Inherited Metabolic Disorders in Children
What this study is about
This research is being done to learn if a new type of haploidentical transplantation using TCR alpha beta and CD19 depleted stem cell graft from the donor is safe and effective to treat the patient's underlying condition. This study will use stem cells obtained via peripheral blood or bone marrow from parent or other half-matched family member donor.
View original scientific description
This research is being done to learn if a new type of haploidentical transplantation using TCR alpha beta and CD19 depleted stem cell graft from the donor is safe and effective to treat the patient's underlying condition. This study will use stem cells obtained via peripheral blood or bone marrow from parent or other half-matched family member donor. These will be processed through a special device called CliniMACS, which is considered investigational.

Haploidentical Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation
TCR alpha beta T-cell and CD19 B-cell depleted haploidentical transplantation
Primary outcome measures
Incidence of successful donor engraftment
Time frame: Day 100 after transplantation
The incidence of engraftment at day 100 will be described based on donor chimerism in the whole blood and or fractions sorted for T-cell and myeloid subsets. The donor chimerism will be scored as autologous reconstitution (\< 5% donor), mixed chimerism (5-49%=low mixed, 50-95%=high mixed), \> 95%=full donor chimerism.
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 with any form of primary immune deficiency/dysregulatory disorders characterized by aberrant immune function, abnormal hematopoiesis, systemic or organ specific autoimmunity and/or non-malignant lymphoproliferation. This includes, but not limited to: I. Disorders of phagocytes: Chronic granulomatous disease, Leukocyte adhesion deficiency, defects of IL-10 pathway, MonoMac syndrome II. Defects of cellular and humoral immunity: Severe Combined Immunodeficiency Disorder (infants with classic SCID up to 2 years of age will be excluded due to other open protocol), X-linked hyper-IgM syndrome, DOCK8 deficiency, ZAP70 deficiency, common variable immunodeficiency (CVID), Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, NEMO deficiency. III. Disorder of immune dysregulation: Immunodysregulation polyendocrinopathy enteropathy X-linked (IPEX) syndrome, CTLA4 deficiency, LRBA deficiency, STAT1 GOF, STAT3 GOF, X-linked lymphoproliferative disease etc. IV. Other PIDs and immune dysregulatory disorders who can be benefitted by HCT as deemed appropriate by the PI and the treating immunologist.
- Histiocytic disorders including hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (familial HLH (types 1-5), secondary HLH (refractory to therapy or with recurrent episodes of hyper inflammation) and multisystem refractory Langerhans cell histiocytosis.
- Metabolic disorders that could improve or stabilize after stem cell transplantation such as mucopolysaccharidoses, neurodegenerative disorders, osteopetrosis, etc. Inclusion Criteria:
- Patient has a suitable genotypic identical match of 5/10. The donor and recipient must be identical, as determined by high resolution typing, at least one allele of each of the following genetic loci: HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, HLA-DRB1 and HLA-DQB1.
- Patients must have adequate organ function measured by:
- Cardiac: asymptomatic or if symptomatic then LVEF at rest must be ≥ 40% or SF ≥ 26%
- Pulmonary: asymptomatic or if symptomatic DLCO ≥ 40% of predicted (corrected for hemoglobin) or pulse oximetry ≥ 92% on room air if the patient is unable to perform pulmonary function testing.
- Renal: Creatinine clearance (CrCl) or glomerular filtration rate (GFR) must be \> 50 mL/min/1.73 m2.
- Hepatic: Serum conjugated (direct) bilirubin \< 2.0 x ULN for age; AST and ALT \< 5.0 x ULN for age.
- Karnofsky or Lansky (age-dependent) performance score ≥ 50
- Signed written informed consent
Exclusion criteria
- Participants who have an HLA-matched sibling who is able and willing to donate bone marrow. Patients with a HLA-matched unrelated donors are not excluded.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding females.
- Patient has HIV or uncontrolled fungal, bacterial or viral infections.
- Patient has received prior solid organ transplant.
- Patient has active GVHD (\> grade II) or chronic extensive GVHD due to a previous allograft at the time of inclusion.

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.
