BOLT+BMT Trial Summary

This trial will test whether a combination of two transplants can improve quality of life for people with primary immunodeficiency and end-stage lung disease.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 5-45 with primary immunodeficiency and severe lung disease needing a lung transplant. They must have normal liver function, heart function, kidney function, not be pregnant or HIV positive, and agree to birth control post-transplant.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests if getting new lungs (BOLT) followed by stem cell transplant from a partially-matched donor is safe/effective for immune deficiency diseases. Participants receive CD3/CD19 negative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions to the stem cell product due to DMSO or other ingredients used in manufacturing, infertility risks post bone marrow transplant (BMT), and complications from underlying conditions.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: BOLT+BMTExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
All patients will receive a double lung transplant followed by a hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The lungs and stem cells are 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.

Is the age ceiling for this trial set at 85 years or lower?

"To be considered for this experiment, the applicant must fall between 5 and 45 years old. There are 449 medical studies available to minors and 1085 suitable trials for seniors."

Answered by AI

What are the ambitions of this medical trial?

"This trial intends to assess the efficacy of T-cell chimerism through two years post stem cell transplant. Secondary objectives include evaluating time until immunosuppression withdrawal, measuring rituximab-related adverse events, and counting allograft failures in patients who underwent a lung or combined lung+stem cell transplant."

Answered by AI

Are there any open enrollment opportunities for this investigation?

"According to information on clinicaltrials.gov, the recruitment effort for this experiment is currently closed; it was first posted in June of 2013 and last modified in November 2022. Nevertheless, there are over 1,500 other studies actively enrolling patients at present."

Answered by AI

Is it feasible for me to join this research endeavor?

"This trial is recruiting 16 individuals with wiskott-aldrich syndrome within the ages of 5 and 45 to participate. Eligibility requirements are based on these criteria."
