A Phase 1 study testing Plerixafor in people with Sickle Cell Disease, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 2 sites in United States.
Trial summary
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and efficacy of a drug called Plerixafor. Plerixafor is approved by the US FDA for use in increasing blood stem cell counts before collection in cancer patients. It is not yet approved for patients with sickle cell disease.

Plerixafor is approved by the US FDA for use in increasing blood stem cell counts before collection in cancer patients. It is not yet approved for patients with sickle cell disease. The investigators want to find out if Plerixafor can be used to increase cell counts in patients with sickle cell disease.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
PlerixaforDrug
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Plerixafor | Experimental | Patients will receive a single dose of subcutaneous plerixafor with peripheral blood studies at approximately 0-2 hours before, approximately 6-12 hours after, and approximately 20-48 hours after plerixafor administration, with leukapheresis in the last 3 patients on the protocol. Collected HPCs will be transferred to the MSKCC CTCEF to determine if the HPCs are amenable to transduction with a lentiviral vector encoding the normal ß- globin gene. Receives: Drug: Plerixafor |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
safety
Safety is assessed using a dose limiting toxicity (DLT) endpoint. Definition of a DLT is the occurrence of any of the below events that meets the following criteria: The occurrence of a vasoocclusive crisis requiring hospitalization, acute chest syndrome, CNS acute event, or any other disease related ischemic-based adverse event (AE) should be considered as a DLT, if occurring in the 48 hours DLT observation period.
Measured: up to 30 days
efficacy
Efficacy is defined as 100% of evaluable patients reaching a PB CD34 concentration ≥ 30/uL.
Measured: ≥ 30/ul at either 6-12 hours or 24-48 hours post plerixafor.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Plerixafor in people with Sickle Cell Disease, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 2 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 11 inclusion and 13 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
safety (time frame: up to 30 days). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02193191, which also lists 3 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 30 Mar 2025.
