Stem cells harvested for lab tests in immune disorder gene therapy quest
NCT ID NCT01212055
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 17, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study collects blood stem cells from adults aged 18-40 with DOCK8 deficiency, LAD-1, or GATA2 deficiency. Participants receive daily injections of G-CSF for 5 days to move stem cells into the blood, then undergo a single leukapheresis procedure to collect them. The cells are used only for laboratory research to test gene correction, not for treating patients.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- G-CSF (filgrastim) injections and leukapheresis
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this research could help develop gene therapies for DOCK8 deficiency, LAD-1, and GATA2 deficiency.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small study (7 people) focused only on cell collection for lab experiments, not treatment. It may not lead to a therapy.

-INCLUSION CRITERIA - PATIENT: 1. Individuals age 18-40 years. 2. Diagnosis of DOCK8 deficiency, LAD-1, or GATA2 Deficiency: -DOCK8 deficiency * Homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the DOCK8 gene. -LAD-1 * Less than 10% CD18 expression on the neutrophil surface. -GATA2 Deficiency * Deleterious mutation of GATA2 Gene 3. Serum creatinine \<1.5 mg/dL. 4. Total Bilirubin \< 3mg/dl, ALT and AST \< 5X upper limit of normal. 5. Ability to give informed consent. 6. Adequate venous access for peripheral apheresis, or consent to use a temporary central venous catheter for apheresis. 7. Individuals of childbearing age must have a negative urine pregnancy test within one week prior to beginning filgrastim or filgrastim biosimilar administration. EXCLUSION CRITERIA- PATIENT: 1. HIV infection. 2. Chronic hepatitis B or hepatitis C virus infection. 3. History of psychiatric disorder which may compromise compliance with protocol, or which does not allow for appropriate informed consent. 4. Active infection that is not responding to antimicrobial therapy. 5. Pregnant Individuals may not participate per OHSRP SOP. 6. Any Individual who is breastfeeding as the effects of filgrastim or filgrastim biosimilar product on infants is not known. 7. Sexually active individuals capable of becoming pregnant who are unable or unwilling to use effective form(s) of contraception during the 10 days surrounding filgrastim or filgrastim biosimilar product administration and apheresis procedure(s). Effective forms of contraception include one or more of the following: intrauterine device (IUD), hormonal (birth control pills, injections, or implants), tubal ligation/hysterectomy, partner s vasectomy, barrier methods, (condom, diaphragm, or cervical cap), or abstinence. Males on the protocol must use an effective form of contraception at study entry. 8. Presence of active malignancy in another organ system other than the hematopoietic system. 9. Individuals with active pulmonary disease. 10. History of hypertension that is not controlled by medication, stroke, or severe heart disease. Individuals with symptomatic angina will be considered to have severe heart disease and will not be eligible. 11. Other medical contraindications to stem cell donation (i.e., severe atherosclerosis, autoimmune disease, iritis or episcleritis, deep venous thrombosis, cerebrovascular accident). 12. Thrombocytopenia (platelets less than 50,000 per microliter) at baseline evaluation. 13. Individuals receiving experimental therapy or investigational agents. 14. Sensitivity to filgrastim, to E. Coli derived products, or to a biosimilar recombinant protein to filgrastim. 15. Individuals must test negative for transfusion-transmissible infectious agents, including hepatitis B (HBsAg), hepatitis C (anti-HCV), HIV (anti-HIV-1/2).
