A Randomized Trial of Low Versus Moderate Exposure Busulfan for Infants With Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID) Receiving TCRαβ+/CD19+ Depleted Transplantation: A Phase II Study by the Primary Immune Deficiency Treatment Consortium (PIDTC) and Pediatric Blood and Marrow Transplant Consortium (PBMTC)
The investigators want to study if lower doses of chemotherapy will help babies with SCID to
achieve good immunity with less short and long-term risks of complications after
transplantation. This trial identifies babies with types of immune deficiencies that are most
likely to succeed with this approach and offers them transplant early in life before they get
severe infections or later if their infections are under control. It includes only patients
receiving unrelated or mismatched related donor transplants.
The study will test if patients receiving transplant using either a low dose busulfan or a
medium dose busulfan will have immune recovery of both T and B cells, measured by the ability
to respond to immunizations after transplant. The exact regimen depends on the subtype of
SCID the patient has. Donors used for transplant must be unrelated or half-matched related
(haploidentical) donors, and peripheral blood stem cells must be used. To minimize the chance
of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), the stem cells will have most, but not all, of the T
cells removed, using a newer, experimental approach of a well-established technology. Once
the stem cell transplant is completed, patients will be followed for 3 years. Approximately
9-18 months after the transplant, vaccinations will be administered, and a blood test
measuring whether your child's body has responded to the vaccine will be collected.

This is a prospective, multicenter, phase II, open-label study of two reduced busulfan dose
levels in newborns identified at birth with SCID of appropriate genotype/phenotype and
clinical status, undergoing either haploidentical related or well-matched unrelated donor
TCRαβ+/CD19+ depleted HCT. Subjects will be enrolled on either of 2 strata according to
genotype (defects of cytokine receptor function i.e. IL2RG or JAK3 and defects of receptor
recombination i.e. RAG1 or RAG2). Thus up to 32 subjects on each of 2 strata or 64 subjects
total would be enrolled over 4 years with 3 years follow-up.
Patients with IL2RG/JAK3 would be randomized to receive busulfan targeted either to
cumulative exposure of 25-35 mg*h/L or 55-65 mg*h/L with Thymoglobulin. Patients with RAG1/2
would be randomized to receive busulfan targeted to cumulative exposure of 25-35 mg*h/L or
55-65 mg*h/L, in conjunction with fludarabine, thiotepa and Thymoglobulin. Safety/feasibility
of the novel TCR αβ+/CD19+ depleted allogeneic HCT strategy will be monitored on an ongoing
basis using stopping rules for lack of neutrophil engraftment and other important short-term
toxicities.
Donor selection would be determined clinically at the discretion of the treating clinicians
at each site. Pharmacokinetic monitoring of busulfan exposure will be performed per local
practices at CLIA-certified laboratories. Patients will receive busulfan and pharmacokinetic
measurement to individualize dosing. Time-concentration data of the initial dose and
subsequent doses will be reviewed centrally (Dr. Janel Long-Boyle) using a cloud-based
application (InsightRx) to guide dose adjustment in real-time (Long-Boyle, Chan, Keizer,
2017, ASBMT Tandem abstract accepted). Clinical and laboratory data will be collected at
defined time points over 3 years and entered in an electronic data capture system using
study-specific case report forms. These data will be used to measure the outcomes including
the primary outcome (cAUC of busulfan that promotes humoral immune reconstitution at 2 years
post HCT with acceptable regimen-related toxicity at 42 days post HCT) and secondary outcomes
(the quality of donor cell engraftment and immune function achieved in B and T cell
compartments and survival). Mechanistic studies supporting the exploratory endpoints will be
conducted centrally in designated laboratories.
