About
This Phase I study will determine the safety and optimal dose of expanded autologous Tregs to treat patients with Aplastic Anaemia (AA) (who have failed, or are considered ineligible for IST (immunosuppressive therapy) / other treatments) using expanded autologous T regulatory cells (Tregs) from AA patients at King's College Hospital, that have been prepared at the licensed Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) production facility at Guy's Hospital, London
Full description
The clinical trial will examine the safety of giving AA patients who have failed other treatment(s), their own ('autologous') expanded Tregs - a form of 'cellular therapy - to treat the AA. The investigators will study the changes in the immune system and determine if healthy bone marrow stem cells recover, thereby improving the blood counts after giving Tregs to patients. Expanded autologous Tregs are currently being looked at to treat other autoimmune disorders such as type I diabetes mellitus, multiple sclerosis, Crohn's disease and systemic lupus erythematosus. Results so far indicate that they are safe to give and do improve these diseases, but significantly this will be the first trial in AA.
