To evaluate the safety and feasibility of collecting hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) in participants with RUNX1-FPD.
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
- Participants who meet all of the following criteria are eligible to be included in the study:
- Are aged ≥ 18 to 75 years a. Once a favorable review of safety has been completed by the SMC in 3 participants aged ≥ 18 years, the study will be opened to participants aged ≥ 12 years.
- Are willing and able to provide informed consent, as appropriate (either directly or through a legally authorized representative \[LAR\]), as described in Appendix 1, Section 13.1
- Have a confirmed diagnosis of RUNX1 FPD, verified by a Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)-certified genetic sequencing report.
- Clearance by apheresis team to proceed
- Have systolic blood pressure ≤ 170 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure ≤ 95 mmHg
- Are eligible for HSCT per institution requirements
- Have a Lansky (age \< 16 years)/Karnofsky performance status of ≥ 70 (see Appendix 2, Section 13.2).
- Are willing and able to comply with protocol-defined contraceptive requirements (see Appendix 3 Section 13.3)
- Have a platelet count ≥ 50,000/μL for initiation of apheresis, assessed within 24 hours prior to the procedure, or, if \< 50,000/μL are administered platelets on the day of the collection a. If the apheresis team decides that a central venous catheter (CVC) is to be placed, platelet count should be ≥ 50,000 prior to catheter placement.
- Have hemoglobin ≥ 7.5 g/dL as assessed within 24 hours prior to the procedure
Exclusion criteria
- Participants who meet any of the following criteria are excluded from the study:
- Participants with cognitive impairments and/or any serious unstable pre-existing medical condition or psychiatric disorder that can interfere with safety or with obtaining informed consent or compliance with study procedures.
- Have uncontrolled bleeding
- Are using supplemental oxygen
- Have known severe splenomegaly (≥ 20 cm)
- Have a diagnosis of MDS or hematologic malignancies, as defined by WHO hematolymphoid tumor classification fifth edition (Khourey et al 2022) hematolymphoid tumor classification fifth edition (Khourey et al 2022)
- Have recent prior malignancies except resected basal cell carcinoma or treated cervical carcinoma in situ Note: Cancer treated with curative intent \< 5 years previously may be allowed following approval from the study investigator. Cancer treated with curative intent \> 5 years previously is allowed.
- Have any prior or current myeloproliferative or a significant coagulation or immunodeficiency disorder
- Have advanced liver disease, defined as any of the following:
- Persistent aspartate transaminase, alanine transaminase, or direct bilirubin value \> 5× the upper limit of normal (ULN) at screening
- Screening prothrombin time (PT) or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) \> 1.5× ULN
- Have had prior HSCT or gene therapy
- Have history of concomitant sickle cell disease
- Have been treated with an investigational drug within 30 days of screening or 5 half-lives (whichever is longer)
- Have a positive test result for HIV, hepatitis B virus (HBV), or hepatitis C virus (HCV) at screening
- Participants with positive hepatitis B core antibody (HbcAb) and/or hepatitis B-e antibody (HbeAb) are eligible provided viral load is negative by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR).
- Participants who are positive for anti-hepatitis C antibody are eligible as long as they have a negative HCV viral load by qPCR.
- Have a positive infectious disease panel at screening for human T-lymphotropic virus 1 or 2 (HTLV-1 and HTLV-2), or syphilis (rapid plasma 24 reagin \[RPR\])
- Have clinically significant and active bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infection at screening
- Have a white blood cell (WBC) count \< 2 × 109/L
- Have a left ventricular ejection fraction \< 45%
- Have a screening estimated glomerular filtration rate \< 60 mL/min/1.73 m2
- Have a diagnosis of a significant psychiatric disorder that could seriously impede the ability to participate in the study
- For women of childbearing potential: are pregnant or breastfeeding or lack adequate contraception
- Are unable to comply with the study procedures, as assessed by the investigator
Where
- Houston, Texas
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.
