Gene Therapy Trial for Platelet Derived Factor VIII Production in Hemophilia A

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This is a Phase I study. This research study is being conducted to find new ways to treat severe hemophilia A. This study is a gene therapy study. Gene therapy is an experimental way to introduce, into a person's cells, specific genetic material. A gene can be delivered/introduced into a cell using a carrier known as a "vector." In this study, a virus (lentivirus), the "vector", is used to introduce or deliver a gene that creates and stores a protein Factor VIII (FVIII) in your platelets. These platelets are made from stem cells (mother cells for your bone marrow) that are removed from your blood by a procedure called apheresis. This research study will take some of the patient's own stem cells, from the apheresis procedure, and genetically modify them using the vector in order to make them produce FVIII in platelets that arise from the stem cells. They will then give the genetically modified stem cells back to the patient so that they can possibly create platelets that produce and store Factor VIII on their own.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:MALE
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. 1. Confirmed diagnosis of severe hemophilia A by undetectable plasma factor VIII:C by a one-stage PTT-based assay and coatest chromogenic factor VIII assay. Subjects with currently active or a history of positive FVIII inhibitor titers (≥0.6 BU) irrespective of their titer or current inhibitor status will be included for enrollment.
  2. 2. Subject may be prescribed prophylactic therapy with factor VIII bypassing agents or factor VIII mimetics prior to referral for inclusion in the study.
  3. 3. Subjects who are treated on demand using factor VIII bypassing agents must have a history of four or more bleeding episodes requiring treatment in the six-month period prior to referral for inclusion in the study.
  4. 4. Adequate bone marrow reserve as demonstrated by ANC \>1.5/cu.mm; Hemoglobin \>9g/dL; Platelets \>100,000/microliter.
  5. 5. Adequate renal function, defined as creatinine clearance\>60 ml/min (Cockroft-Gault formula)
  6. 6. Adequate liver function, defined as defined as total bilirubin ≤1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) (excluding Gilbert's syndrome), both AST and ALT ≤3 times ULN at the time of screening, and no clinical signs or known laboratory/radiographic evidence consistent with cirrhosis.
  7. 7. Subject must sign an informed consent after explanation of the study and having questions answered.
  8. 8. Subject must be willing and able to document type of bleeding episodes and treatment in a paper or electronic diary during the study.
  9. 9. Subject must be willing to return for regular follow-up visits during the 15-year study.
  1. * A potential subject who meets any of the following exclusion criteria is ineligible to participate in the study.
  2. 1. Therapy with factor VIII with the intent of immune tolerance induction within 30 days prior to inclusion within the study.
  3. 2. Enrollment in another interventional clinical trial within 60 days prior to study inclusion.
  4. 3. Medical contraindication to PBSC cytokine mobilization, use of GCSF, PBSC apheresis procedure or conditioning regimen.
  5. 4. Medically significant organ dysfunction that would prevent compliance with conditioning or would severely limit the probability of survival based on clinical status.
  6. 5. Those with a known co-existing clinically significant thrombophilic disorder, or as determined by the presence of any of the below identified on screening laboratory assessments:
  7. * FV Leiden
  8. * Protein S deficiency
  9. * Protein C deficiency
  10. * Prothrombin mutation (G20210A)
  11. * D-dimer \>3 x the upper limit of normal (ULN) at Screening All known patients with the above and any patient with a personal or significant family history of thrombotic events (DVT, PE, arterial clots) as deemed by the principal investigator will be screened for the above disorders.
  12. 6. Active invasive malignancy (Non-melanoma skin cancers and carcinoma in situ are not excluded).
  13. 7. Known bone marrow disorders or abnormal bone marrow cytogenetics.
  14. 8. Fertile males who are unwilling to use contraceptive techniques during and for the twelve months following treatment.
  15. 9. Life expectancy severely limited by disease(s) other than hemophilia A.
  16. 10. Patients with HIV, hepatitis B, hepatitis C (with an AST/ALT \> 3 times the upper limit of normal).
  17. 11. Other active infectious disease that is a contraindicat ion for immunosuppressive therapy.
  18. 12. Patients who have elective surgery scheduled during the study period.
