E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Trial Phase I :
• To characterize the safety and toxicity associated with infusion of investigational product:autologous CD34+ cells transduced with the therapeutic LV (Chim-CD18-WPRE LV)
Trial Phase II
• Survival, as determined by the proportion of subjects alive at age 2 (24 months) and at least 1-year post-investigational product infusion without allogeneic HSCT.
• Characterization of the safety and toxicity associated with infusion of the investigational product: autologous CD34+ cells transduced with the therapeutic LV (Chim-CD18- WPRE LV). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
• Determination of the percentage of subjects in whom infusion of investigational product results in increase in the percentage of neutrophils expressing CD18 to at least 10%after 6 months.
• Determination of the percentage of subjects in whom infusion of investigational product results in at least 10% of PB neutrophils carrying the therapeutic Chim-CD18-WPRE LV provirus at 6 months post-infusion.
• Determination of the incidence and severity of bacterial or other infections (subsequent to hematopoietic reconstitution).
• Evaluation of decreases (partial or to normal levels) of LAD-I-associated neutrophilia.
• Evaluation of resolution (partial or complete) of any underlying skin rash or periodontal abnormalities.
• Assessment of overall survival (beyond age 24 months and beyond the initial year subsequent to investigational therapy). |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. A confirmed diagnosis of severe LAD-I as demonstrated by flow cytometry indicating CD18 expression on <2% neutrophils (PMNs). Subjects in which CD18+ PMNs are >2% will be considered eligible with <2% CD11a or CD11b expressing PMNs and if there is a documented ITGB2 mutation and clinical history consistent with LAD-I (or known family history).
2. At least one (1) prior significant bacterial or fungal infection (US NCI CTCAE v5.0, Grade ≥2). This criterion is not required for subjects with documented family history who meet the above inclusion criteria.
3. Age ≥3 months.
4. Considered to be an appropriate candidate for autologous transplantation of HSCs.
5. A competent custodial parent with legal capacity to execute an IRB/EC-approved consent form must be available to participate in the consent process. (Informed assent will be sought from capable subjects, in accordance with the directive of the IRB/EC and with local requirements.)
6. Ability to comply with trial procedures including investigational therapy and follow up evaluations. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Availability of a medically-eligible HLA-identical sibling donor transplant. Subjects may not be included in this trial as an alternative to a clinically-indicated and feasible HLA-matched sibling donor HSCT. If an HLA-identical sibling is identified, but mPB or BM HSC collection is not feasible (for example: donor is in utero, is a newborn from whom cord blood was not collected, or is unable to undergo donation procedure because of medical impairments), then inclusion may be permitted per Investigator discretion.
2. Hepatic dysfunction as defined by either:
• Bilirubin >1.5× the ULN or
• ALT or AST >2.5×ULN
3. Renal dysfunction as defined by either Grade 3 or higher abnormalities in serum sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium or phosphate as defined by NCI CTCAE v5.0, or the requirement for either peritoneal dialysis or hemodialysis.
4. Pulmonary dysfunction as defined by either:
• need for supplemental oxygen during the prior 2 weeks (in absence of acute infection).
• Oxygen saturation (by pulse oximetry) <90%.
5. Evidence of active metastatic or locoregionally advanced malignancy (including hematologic malignancy) for which survival is anticipated to be less than 3 years.
6. Serious infections with persistent bloodstream pathogens at time of trial entry. (Subjects with active infections (e.g., unresolved ulcerative lesions, skin or oral infections) are permitted as long as appropriate antibiotic therapy has been (or is
being) administered.)
7. Any medical or other contraindication for both leukapheresis and BM harvest procedure, as determined by the treating Investigator.
8. Any medical or other contraindication for the administration of conditioning therapy, as determined by the treating Investigator.
9. Significant medical conditions, including documented HIV infection, poorly controlled diabetes, poorly-controlled hypertension, poorly-controlled cardiac arrhythmia or congestive heart failure; or arterial thromboembolic events (including stroke or myocardial infarction) within the 6 prior months.
10. Any medical or psychiatric condition that in the opinion of the Investigator renders the subject unfit for trial participation or at higher than acceptable risk for participation.
Subjects who are evaluated for the trial and determined ineligible may be subsequently evaluated and declared eligible if the criteria by which they were considered ineligible is reversible (e.g., bloodstream infection, transient increase in liver enzymes) and there is documented and plausible evidence of its resolution in the opinion of the principal investigator. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Alive at age 2 (24 months) and at least 1-year post-investigational product infusion without allogeneic HSCT post-investigational product infusion. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Throughout the duration of the study |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Efficacy endpoints:
• Change in the CD18 expression from pre-infusion to post-infusion (and increased expression of additional beta-2 integrin components CD11a and CD11b) in PB neutrophils, as determined by flow cytometry, including assessment of the percentage of subjects with CD18 expression on at least 10% of neutrophils.
• Overall survival and overall health status.
• Chim-CD18-WPRE LV VCN in blood and BM cells, as determined via quantitative PCR (qPCR) or digital droplet (dd)PCR at specified time points pre- and post-infusion, including assessment of the percentage of subjects with PB neutrophil VCN of at least 0.1.
Safety endpoints
• Insertional mutagenesis: Evaluation of gene modified clonal repertoire and lentiviral ISA in blood and, if feasible, BM cells via linear amplification mediated (LAM)-PCR.
• RCL (as required and in settings where there is clinical suspicion of unexplained viral illness) in blood.
• Immunogenicity: Evidence of antibodies against CD18 (or other β2-integrin components CD11a or CD11b, or LV components) in blood (serum) (if necessary, in settings where there is clinical suspicion of immunogenic response or evidence of decreasing CD18
expression).
• Incidence of respiratory complications (including, but not limited to, pneumonitis)
• Incidence of hepatic complications (including, but not limited to, VOD). |
