BOLT-BMT Trial Summary

This trial is testing whether a combination of two transplant procedures is safe and effective for people with primary immunodeficiency and end-stage lung disease.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 10-45 with primary immunodeficiency and severe lung disease needing a lung transplant. They must meet organ sharing criteria, have certain normal blood tests, agree to birth control methods post-transplant, and be able to consent. Excluded are those with cancer, HIV/HTLV, pregnancy/lactation, allergy to stem cell product ingredients or uncontrolled infections.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety and effectiveness of a new treatment approach combining bilateral orthotopic lung transplantation (BOLT) with bone marrow transplant (BMT) that uses partially-matched cadaveric donors whose cells lack CD3+/CD19+ markers. The goal is to enroll 8 participants who will undergo both procedures.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to the immune system due to the transplants such as graft-versus-host disease, infection risks from immunosuppression needed after BMT, infertility risks associated with BMT procedure and possible complications from surgery like bleeding or clotting.

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: CD3/CD19 neg allogeneic BMTExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
All participants will receive a double lung transplant followed by a bone marrow (hematopoietic stem cells) transplant. The lungs and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells will be from the same partially HLA-matched cadaveric donor. Prior to transplantation, the marrow will be negatively selected for CD3/CD19 using a CliniMACS® depletion device.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Who is eligible to participate in this research endeavor?

"This trial is in search of 5 patients aged 10-45 with pid, who also meet the United Network of Organ Sharing (UNOS) listing criteria. Furthermore, combined immunodeficiency involving T-cell mediated immunity—including Omenn and DiGeorge Syndrome, as well as CD40 or CD40L deficiency—is necessary for eligibility."

Answered by AI

What aims are being sought through this clinical trial's data collection?

"The objectives of this trial, to be measured over a period of two years after the Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT), are assessing Safety: Engraftment Failure. Secondary aims include examining Lymphocyte Count for T-cell Lymphopenias, which is determining if participants reach age adjustedly low normal lymphocyte count 1 year following BMT; calculating how many patients achieve tolerance by withdrawing from systemic immunosuppression without increasing cGVHD score and stable or improving PFTs; and counting the number of individuals who can proceed to BMT within 6 months after their lung transplant."

Answered by AI

Does this clinical trial extend to geriatric patients?

"This study is strictly limited to patients aged 10-45."

Answered by AI

Are there any openings for prospective participants in this experiment?

"According to clinicaltrials.gov, this study is not actively seeking participants at the present moment. Initially posted on December 1st 2017 and last updated October 6th 2021, it appears that recruitment has been completed for now although there are still 85 other trials recruiting patients."
