What this study is
The purpose of this study is to investigate mobilization and collection of HSPCs in patients with bone marrow failure syndromes (BMFS) using granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (otherwise known as Filgrastim) with plerixafor to demonstrate safety and feasibility of collecting HSPCs to advance gene therapy.
Primary objective:
- To characterize the safety of Filgrastim plus plerixafor in participants with life threatening blood disorders as determined by the incidence of adverse events (AEs).
Secondary Objectives:
- To measure the mobilization effects of Filgrastim plus plerixafor in the peripheral blood in participants as determined by peak peripheral blood CD34+ counts.
- To characterize the feasibility of HSPC mobilization using Filgrastim plus plerixafor as determined by peripheral blood CD34+ counts.
- To estimate efficacy of Filgrastim plus plerixafor for HSPC mobilization and apheresis collection in participants as determined by the yield of CD34+ cells (CD34+ cells/kg).
