Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

One purpose of this study is to determine whether the amount of cultured thymus tissue implanted into DiGeorge anomaly infants has any effect on the immune outcome. Another purpose of this study is to determine whether parental parathyroid transplantation (in addition to cultured thymus tissue implantation (CTTI) can help both the immune and the calcium problems in DiGeorge infants with hypocalcemia.

  • Biological: Cultured Thymus Tissue Implantation (CTTI)
  • Other: Cultured Thymus Tissue Implantation with Parathyroid Transplantation
Phase 2

Detailed Description

DiGeorge anomaly is a congenital disorder in which infants are born with defects of the thymus, heart, and parathyroid gland. Complete DiGeorge Anomaly is usually fatal within the first two years of life. This trial evaluates the role of cultured thymus tissue dose in cultured thymus tissue implantation (CTTI) in complete (typical) DiGeorge anomaly infants, and continues safety assessments.

DiGeorge infants who have successful CTTIs but remain with hypoparathyroidism must go to the clinic for frequent calcium levels and to the hospital for calcium infusions; these infants are at risk for seizures from low calcium. Approximately ½ of infants with profound hypoparathyroidism will develop nephrocalcinosis. This protocol had a parental parathyroid transplant arm for complete DiGeorge infants with athymia and profound hypoparathyroidism.

Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Cultured Thymus Tissue Implantation w Parathyroid Transplant

Cultured Thymus Tissue Implantation With Parathyroid Tissue Transplantation. Subjects who were enrolled in this arm underwent cultured thymus tissue implantation with parathyroid transplantation, if eligible. No specific dose was assigned. The thymus tissue dose was the number of grams of cultured thymus tissue divided by the weight of the recipient in kg or per square meter of body surface area of the recipient. There was a one time administration of the cultured thymus tissue and parathyroid tissue.

Other: Cultured Thymus Tissue Implantation with Parathyroid Transplantation
Parental parathyroid donors screened for eligibility and safety. If both parents meet eligibility criteria, the parathyroid will be harvested from parent who shares the most Human Leukocyte Antigens (HLA) alleles with thymus donor. Parathyroid harvest & transplant preferably done at same time as CTTI. (If parathyroid transplant cannot be done at same time, then it is done within 3-8 weeks of CTTI.) Parathyroid harvest done under general anesthesia. One parathyroid gland is minced & placed in quadriceps muscle; there is no dose in mg. No biopsy done of the parathyroid. Parathyroid donors are monitored as outpatients until recipients' discharge. Recipients' calcium and PTH levels are monitored indefinitely.
Other Names:
  • Thymus and Parathyroid Transplant
  • CTTI and Parathyroid Transplant
  • Experimental: Cultured Thymus Tissue Implantation

    Cultured Thymus Tissue Implantation. Subjects who were enrolled in this arm underwent cultured thymus tissue implantation (CTTI) only. No specific dose was assigned. The thymus tissue dose was the number of grams of cultured thymus tissue divided by the weight of the recipient in kg or per square meter of body surface area of the recipient. There was a one time administration of the cultured thymus tissue. .

    Biological: Cultured Thymus Tissue Implantation (CTTI)
    Thymus tissue (from unrelated donor), thymus donor, and thymus donor's birth mother screened for safety. CTTI was done under general anesthesia. Cultured thymus tissue was implanted into quadriceps. Thymus dose at least 4grams/m2 body surface area (0.2 grams/kg body weight) and not >18 grams/m2 body surface area (1.0 grams/kg body weight). At time of CTTI, skin biopsy was obtained to look for preexisting T cells. 2-3 months post-CTTI allograft biopsy was done to evaluate for thymopoiesis & graft rejection. At time of biopsy, skin biopsy done to look for T cell clonal populations. (Allograft biopsy not done if subject medically unstable.) Post-CTTI, subjects followed by immune evaluations, using blood samples.
