Regenerative Medicine to Restore Hematopoiesis and Immune Function in Immunodeficiencies and Inherited Bone Marrow Failures

Phase II prospective trial to assess the rates of donor engraftment using reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) and post-transplant cyclophosphamide (PTCy) for patients with primary immune deficiencies (PID), immune dysregulatory syndromes (IDS), inherited bone marrow failure syndromes (IBMFS), short telomere syndromes, Fanconi anemia, and non-Fanconi DNA double-strand break (DNA-dsb) repair disorder.

Virus Specific Cytotoxic T-Lymphocytes (CTLs) for Refractory Cytomegalovirus (CMV)

CMV cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) manufactured with the Miltenyi CliniMACS Prodigy Cytokine Capture System will be administered in children, adolescents and young adults (CAYA) with refractory cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection post Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AlloHSCT), with primary immunodeficiencies (PID) or post solid organ transplant.

Adenovirus-specific Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes for Refractory Adenovirus Infection

Related donor Adenovirus (ADV) specific cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) manufactured with the Miltenyi CliniMACS Prodigy Cytokine Capture System will be administered intravenously in in children, adolescents and young adults with refractory ADV infection post Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AlloHSCT), with primary immunodeficiencies (PID) or post solid organ transplant. Funding Source: FDA OOPD

EBV-specific Cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (CTLs) for Refractory EBV Infection

Related donor Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) specific cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) manufactured with the Miltenyi CliniMACS Prodigy Cytokine Capture System will be administered in children, adolescents and young adults with refractory EBV infection post Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AlloHSCT), with primary immunodeficiencies (PID) or post solid organ transplant.

Observational Study of Subcutaneous Immunoglobulin (Cutaquig) in Patients With Primary and Secondary Immunodeficiency.

This study will assess the relative safety, tolerability, and participant satisfaction in participants using the rapid manual push method with Cutaquig®. The hypothesis being that treatment with Cutaquig® by rapid manual push method will improve the safety, tolerability and patient satisfaction of participants with PID or SID. Cutaquig® by rapid push is already approved in Canada and has proven to be efficacious in preventing significant infection. However, relative safety, tolerability, and patient satisfaction have not been studied in these patients. The information gained from this study will improve the safety and tolerability knowledge database and will support the optimal use of Cutaquig® - thus benefitting both physicians and patients.

Treatment of Refractory BK Infections With Related Donor BK Specific Cytotoxic T-cells (CTLs)

BK cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) manufactured with the Miltenyi CliniMACS Prodigy Cytokine Capture System will be safe and effective in decreasing specific viral load in children, adolescents and young adults (CAYA) with refractory BK infection post Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AlloHSCT) or with primary immunodeficiencies (PID).

Study of Gene Modified Donor T-cells Following TCR Alpha Beta Positive Depleted Stem Cell Transplant

This study will evaluate pediatric patients with malignant or non-malignant blood cell disorders who are having a blood stem cell transplant depleted of T cell receptor (TCR) alfa and beta cells that comes from a partially matched family donor. The study will assess whether immune cells, called T cells, from the family donor, that are specially grown in the laboratory and given back to the patient along with the stem cell transplant can help the immune system recover faster after transplant. As a safety measure these T cells have been programmed with a self-destruct switch so that they can be destroyed if they start to react against tissues (graft versus host disease).
