Evaluation of the Safety and Efficacy of TXA127 (Angiotensin 1-7) to Enhance Engraftment in Pediatric Patients Undergoing Single or Double Umbilical Cord Blood Transplantation

Plain-language summary
Engraftment failure is a major obstacle to the success of cord blood transplantation in children with malignancies and inherited metabolic disorders, despite the fact that they receive relatively high doses of nucleated cells from UCB. TXA127 is pharmaceutically formulated Angiotensin 1-7 \[A(1-7)\], a non-hypertensive derivative of Angiotensin-II (which contains the 8th amino acid conferring receptor binding to blood pressure receptors). TXA127 has multilineage effects on hematopoietic progenitors in vitro and in vivo. Preclinical data show that TXA127 is a novel stimulator of early multilineage hematopoietic progenitors, increases engraftment of committed hematopoietic progenitors, and induces more rapid production of platelets and neutrophils in the peripheral circulation, especially in limited cell number transplants. Treatment with TXA127 following UCBT is expected to increase the numbers of hematopoietic progenitors and accelerate engraftment.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Subject, parent, or legal guardian provided written informed consent.
* Subjects must be \>6 months and \<21 years of age.
* Subjects must have one or two available 4, 5, or 6/6 antigen matching unrelated UCB unit(s) that will deliver a cell dose between 3.0-5.0 x 107cells/kg.
* These units must be HLA-matched minimally at 4 of 6 HLA-A and B (at intermediate resolution by molecular typing) and DRB1 (at high resolution by molecular typing) loci with the subject.
* If two CB units will be used, the units must be HLA-matched at 3 of 6 HLA- A, B, and DRB1 loci with each other (using same resolution of molecular typing as indicated above).
* For a single unit transplant, a minimum of 3 x 107cells/kg will be required.
* For a double unit transplant, HLA-matched units must be available such that together both units deliver a combined pre-cryopreserved nucleated cell dose of at least 4.0 x 107 cells/kg with 1 unit of at least 2.5 x 107 cells/kg and the other at least 1.5 x 107 cells/kg.
* Subjects must have histologically confirmed diagnosis of a hematologic malignancy or a laboratory confirmed inherited metabolic disease.
* Subjects who have had a prior autologous or allogeneic transplant are allowed to participate provided it has been \>1 year since the transplant was completed.
* Subjects must not have active CNS disease at the time of study enrollment.
* Subjects must have a life expectancy of \>4 months.
* Female subjects capable of reproduction (…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
