ASH 2022 | Phase II study of MGTA-145 in combination with plerixafor for HSC mobilization in patients with SCD
Akshay Sharma, MBBS, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Memphis, TN, outlines the rationale and aims of a Phase II study investigating the efficacy of the hematopoietic stem cell mobilization agent MGTA-145 in combination with plerixafor in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) undergoing autologous gene therapy (NCT05445128). Whilst G-CSF is a very effective stem cell mobilization agent, it cannot be used in patients with SCD due to toxicity. Plerixafor can be used as an alternative in this patient population, but it is not as potent as G-CSF. This trial is evaluating whether combining plerixafor for MGTA-145 can reduce the number of apheresis cycles required in these patients. This interview took place at the 64th ASH Annual Meeting and Exposition congress held in New Orleans, LA.
