About this study

Official title: Bilateral Orthotopic Lung Transplant in Tandem With CD3+ and CD19+ Cell Depleted Bone Marrow Transplant From Partially HLA Matched Cadaveric Donors (RTB-003)

The purpose of this study is to determine whether bilateral orthotopic lung transplantation (BOLT) followed by cadaveric partially-matched CD3+/CD19+ depleted bone marrow transplant (BMT) is safe and effective for individuals aged 10 through 45 years with the diagnosis of primary immunodeficiency (PID) and end-stage lung disease.

The enrollment goal: 8 participants who receive both BOLT and BMT.

Read the detailed description

The primary purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of performing bilateral orthotopic lung transplantation (BOLT) followed by cadaveric, partially HLA-matched CD3+/CD19+-depleted hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from the same donor for participants with primary immunodeficiency diseases (PID) and end-stage lung disease. For many patients with primary immunodeficiencies, HSCT, which we refer to as Bone Marrow Transplant (BMT) is a curative, life-saving therapy, resulting in restoration of function in the immune system. Patients with primary immunodeficiencies often develop pulmonary complications as a result of chronic or recurrent infections, making them ineligible for BMT due to the high risk of mortality and pulmonary complications. Lung transplant prior to BMT would allow for restoration of pulmonary function prior to BMT, allowing PID patients to proceed to BMT , which would be curative for the patient's underlying immunodeficiency. As a secondary aim, after successful engraftment with donor bone marrow, the feasibility of participants tolerating planned withdrawal of immunosuppression and achieving eventual freedom from all immunosuppressive drugs and attaining a tolerant state will be assessed.

This is a single center study in which participants receive a cadaveric, partially Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)-matched lung transplant followed by a CD3+/CD19+ depleted bone marrow transplant (BMT) from the same donor. In this study, the investigators will use a ≥ 2/6 HLA-matched T cell depleted bone marrow transplant from a cadaveric organ donor with an identical ABO blood type as the recipient.

Participants will undergo:

  • Bilateral orthotopic lung transplant (BOLT) utilizing basiliximab induction or an alternate induction therapy based on their underlying disease. Rituximab may be initiated prior to the lung transplant, with tacrolimus as the ongoing maintenance immunosuppression.
  • BMT utilizing CD3+/CD19+-depleted bone marrow with bone marrow conditioning beginning no less than 8 weeks after BOLT.

The duration of participant involvement in the trial is up to 2 years post-BMT.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • CD3/CD19 neg allogeneic BMTBiological

    Also called CD3+/CD19+ depleted HSCT

    Negative selection for CD3/CD19 will be performed on a CliniMACS® depletion device within 36 hours of collection, and cryopreserved for later marrow transplantation. BMT conditioning and transplantation will start at least 8 weeks or more post lung transplant - once the participant is clinically judged suitable to undergo BMT conditioning and transplantion.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
CD3/CD19 neg allogeneic BMTExperimentalParticipants may receive a double lung transplant followed by a bone marrow (hematopoietic stem cells) transplant, if a partially HLA-matched organ offer is accepted. The lungs and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cells will be from the same partially HLA-matched cadaveric donor. Prior to marrow transplantation, the marrow will be negatively selected for CD3/CD19 using a CliniMACS® depletion device.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing CD3/CD19 neg allogeneic BMT in people with Primary Immunodeficiency and PID, run by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) at 1 site 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 31 inclusion and 14 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 22 Jul 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 22 Jul 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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: Death (time frame: Average of approximately 31 months for those who received an initial transplant). The study lists 9 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 22 Jul 2025.
