Assessing the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of APR-2020 in Pediatric and Adolescent Subjects With RPS19 Deficient Diamond-Blackfan Anemia

A Phase 1, Open-label, Single-arm Study of APR 2020 in Transfusion Dependent, Steroid Resistant Pediatric and Adolescent Subjects With RPS19 Deficient Diamond Blackfan Anemia by Transplantation of Autologous CD34+ Stem Cells Transduced With CLIN LV EFS coRPS19 PRE* (APR-2020)

Summary

Brief summary The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if APR-2020 is safe and can help treat Diamond-Blackfan Anemia (DBA) in adolescents and children. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is APR-2020 safe and well tolerated? * Does APR-2020 modify or correct an underlying genetic condition which causes DBA? * Does APR-2020 reduce or eliminate the need for blood transfusions and/or restore certain blood counts affected by DBA? Participants will: * Take the drug one time as an infusion. * Undergo two rounds of a cellular harvest procedure in which their own cells will be used in the manufacturing of their own participant-specific product. * Initially return to the clinic for two years of follow up at increasingly sparse intervals.


Eligibility

Min Age: 2 YearsMax Age: 18 Years

Inclusion Criteria10

  • Confirmed diagnosis of RPS19-deficient DBA.
  • Signed informed consent by the subject or legally authorized representative.
  • Bone marrow analysis demonstrating normal cytogenetics except for RPS19-deficient DBA.
  • Subjects are between 2 and 18 years of age, inclusive.
  • Eligible for allogeneic marrow or stem cell transplant for DBA (non-critical cardiac and hepatic iron overload).
  • Corticosteroid resistance
  • Transfusion-dependent anemia
  • Willingness to return for long-term follow-up
  • Adequate renal and pulmonary function
  • Able to undergo hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) mobilization and apheresis procedures.

Exclusion Criteria21

  • Availability of a suitable, consenting HLA-identical sibling donor.
  • Positive viral serology.
  • Clinically significant, active bacterial, viral, or fungal infection.
  • Any prior or current malignancy, myeloproliferative disorder, or myelodysplastic syndrome, except where therapy was curative excision (ie, in situ squamous cell carcinoma).
  • Any concerning molecular or cytogenetic abnormalities in hematopoietic cells.
  • Previous receipt of an allogeneic transplant or gene therapy.
  • Immediate family member with a known or suspected Familial Cancer Syndrome (including, but not limited to breast, colorectal, ovarian, prostate, and pancreatic cancers, excluding DBA).
  • Diagnosis of significant psychiatric disorder that could impact the subject's ability to participate in the study, in the opinion of the Investigator.
  • History of complex allo-immunization, as determined by the Investigator.
  • Women who are lactating/breast feeding or who plan to breastfeed within 6 months following APR-2020 infusion.
  • Men and females of childbearing potential who are unwilling to practice highly effective methods of birth control through the duration of the study.
  • Females with a positive serum pregnancy test at Screening or who are planning to become pregnant during the study period.
  • Liver disease, as evidenced by critical iron overload with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • Heart disease or Type 1 diabetes.
  • Evidence of significant pulmonary hypertension, per Investigator assessment.
  • Any other condition that would render the subject ineligible for HSCT, as determined by Investigator.
  • Contraindication to stem cell or bone marrow aspiration, mobilization or collection including allergies to filgrastim or plerixafor.
  • Currently enrolled in another investigational drug study or received an investigational study drug or procedure within 90 days of study enrollment.
  • A physical or emotional status that would prevent giving informed consent, protocol compliance, or adequate follow-up.
  • An assessment by the Investigator that the subject or parents of the subject will not comply with the study procedures outlined in the study protocol.
  • Taking prohibited medications.
