E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Informed consent is obtained from a competent custodial parent or guardian with legal capacity to execute a local Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) approved consent. Informed assent will be sought from capable subjects, in accordance with the directive of the IRB/IEC and with local requirements. 2. Males aged 17 years and younger, at the time of parental/guardian consent and, where appropriate, subject assent. 3. Active CALD as defined by: a. Elevated very long chain fatty acids (VLCFA) values, and b. Active central nervous system (CNS) disease established by central radiographic review of brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrating i. Loes score between 0.5 and 9 (inclusive) on the 34-point scale, and ii. Gadolinium enhancement (GdE) on MRI of demyelinating lesions. 4. Neurologic Function Score (NFS) ≤1. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Prior receipt of an allogeneic transplant or gene therapy. 2. Use of statins, Lorenzo's Oil, or dietary regimens used to lower VLCFA levels. Note: subjects must discontinue use of these medications at time of consent. 3. Receipt of an investigational study drug or procedure within 3 months before screening that might confound study outcomes. Use of investigational study drugs is prohibited throughout the course of the study. 4. Any conditions that make it impossible to perform MRI studies (including allergies to anesthetics or contrast agents). 5. Hematological compromise as evidenced by: a. Peripheral blood absolute neutrophil count (ANC) count <1500 cells/mm3, and either b. Platelet count <100,000 cells/mm3, or c. Hemoglobin <10 g/dL. 6. Hepatic compromise as evidenced by: a. Aspartate transaminase (AST) value >2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) b. Alanine transaminase (ALT) value >2.5 × ULN c. Total bilirubin value >3.0 mg/dL, except if there is a diagnosis of Gilbert's Syndrome and the subject is otherwise stable 7. Baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate <70 mL/min/1.73 m2, as determined using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration creatinine equation (see https://www.kidney.org/professionals/KDOQI/gfr_calculatorPed) 8. Cardiac compromise as evidenced by left ventricular ejection fraction <40% 9. Immediate family member with a known or suspected Familial Cancer Syndrome (including but not limited to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer syndrome, hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer syndrome, and familial adenomatous polyposis). 10. Clinically significant uncontrolled, active bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic, or prion associated infection. 11. Positive for human immunodeficiency virus type 1 or 2 (HIV-1, HIV-2); hepatitis B virus (HBV); hepatitis C virus (HCV); human T lymphotrophic virus 1 (HTLV-1). (Note that subjects who have been vaccinated against HBV [positive for HBV surface antibodies] who are negative for other markers of prior HBV infection [e.g., negative for hepatitis B core antibody {HBVc Ab}] are eligible. Subjects with past exposure to HBV [HBc antibodies {Ab} positive and/or hepatitis B e-antigen antibody {HBeAb}-positive] are also eligible for the study provided they have a negative test for HBV deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA]. Also note that subjects who are positive for anti-hepatitis C Ab are eligible as long as they have a negative hepatitis C viral load). 12. Any clinically significant cardiovascular ,hematological or pulmonary disease, or other disease or condition that would be contraindicated for any of the other study procedures. 13. Absence of adequate contraception for fertile subjects. Male subjects and their female partners are required to use two different effective methods of contraception from Screening through at least 6 months after eli-cel infusion. If subjects are truly sexually abstinent (where true sexual abstinence is defined as being in line with the preferred and usual lifestyle of the subject), no second method is required. 14. Any contraindications to the use of G-CSF or plerixafor during the mobilization of hematopoietic stem cells, and any contraindications to the use of busulfan or fludarabine, including known hypersensitivity to the active substances or to any of the excipients in their formulations. 15. Known hypersensitivity to protamine sulfate. |
