MT2021-08: Phase II, Open-Label, Prospective Study of T Cell Receptor Alpha/Beta Depletion (A/B TCD) Peripheral Blood Stem Cell (PBSC) Transplantation for Children and Adults with Hematological Malignancies
The research aspect of this trial is the use of a new machine to remove specific lymphocytes from the donor’s peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs). This is called T cell receptor alpha/beta T cell depletion. This machine does such a good job at removing the unwanted donor T cells, and as a result we think patients will need fewer drugs to suppress their immune system.

A Phase III, Randomized, Double-blind, Parallel-group, Placebo-controlled Study to evaluate the Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, Efficacy, and Safety of IV anifrolumab in Pediatric Participants 5 to < 18 Years of Age with Moderate to Severe Active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus While on Background Standard of Care Therapy (BLOSSOM)
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease that can affect various organs of the body, especially the skin, joints, blood, kidneys and central nervous system. "Chronic" means that it can last for a long time. "Autoimmune" means that there is a disorder of the immune system, which, instead of protecting the body from bacteria and viruses, attacks the one’s own tissues. We are doing this study to see if the investigational medication called anifrolumab may have an effect in treating pediatric SLE, to see how well it is tolerated or how safe it is, to measure levels of anifrolumab in the blood and learn more about the disease and associated health problems.

MT2024-07:A Phase 1/2, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Autologous CD19-specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cells (CABA-201) in Subjects with Active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (RESET-SLE)
The purpose of this study is to find out what dose of CABA-201 can be safely administered to patients with SLE, including those with lupus nephritis (LN). SLE is thought to involve B cells that cause the body to attack different tissues in the body including your skin, joints, kidneys, heart, lungs, brain, and blood cells. LN is a type of kidney disease caused by SLE. CABA-201 is a chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR T) therapy. In this study, we will take some of your T cells, a type of white blood cell, and genetically modify them (put in a “code”) so that they may find and remove the B cells in your body, including the B cells that are involved in causing your disease. Once your cells are modified, CABA-201 cells will be re-infused into your body intravenously (through the vein).

MT2023-20: Hematopoietic cell transplant with reduced intensity conditioning and post-transplant cyclophosphamide for severe aplastic anemia and other forms of acquired bone marrow failure.
Although allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) is standard treatment for severe aplastic anemia, the use of the lower intensity conditioning drugs with a personalized dosing strategy, low dose total body irradiation (TBI) with dosing based on age and bone marrow abnormalities, and use of the drug cyclophosphamide early after transplant is a newer approach. We are studying whether this new approach is safer and more effective than our previous approach.

MT2024-25: Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant for Patients with High Risk Hemoglobinopathies and Other Red Cell Transfusion Dependent Disorders
This study’s strategy is to take a personalized approach, using a type of donor source combined with a drug regimen specific to that source. The common risks of a transplant approach include graft failure – when the transplant does not take; graft versus host disease (GVHD) – when the transplanted donor cells attack the recipient; and a late effect of infertility. We are studying whether this new approach with conditioning regimen matched with donor source is safer and more effective than our previous approach. Additionally, we are testing whether the dose of radiation will reduce the risk of graft failure.

This study is trying a new treatment (Xaluritamig) for men whose prostate cancer returned after the first treatment, but has not spread. The objective is to determine if Xaluritamig is safe and works well without causing negative side effects seen in other treatments. Participants will get Xaluritamig through a vein in their arm over six times with doctors observing for side effects and to see how the cancer reacts.
