AI summary
From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.
The trial is looking for adults with aplastic anemia, a condition where the bone marrow makes too few blood cells. The disease must have come back or not responded to earlier immune-suppressing treatment.
- Age
- 18 years and older.
- Sex
- All sexes can join.
- Disease stage
- Three groups. Severe aplastic anemia (SAA) that did not respond to treatment (Cohort A). SAA that came back after a response (Cohort B). Non-severe aplastic anemia that came back or did not respond, with regular transfusion needs (Cohort C).
- Earlier treatment
- People must have had immune-suppressing treatment (IST) based on ATG and/or CSA. Cohorts A and B: a course of ≥ 3 months. Cohort C: at least 1 course lasting ≥ 3 months, with or without a TPO-R agonist. No earlier stem cell transplant (HCT).
- Biomarker or test result
- Cohort C needs transfusion dependence: ≥ 2 units of RBCs in the past 56 days, or ≥ 1 unit of apheresis platelets in the past 28 days.
Main reasons for not taking part
- Fanconi anemia, dyskeratosis congenita or another inborn bone marrow failure syndrome.
- Earlier stem cell transplant (HCT), or a planned one for aplastic anemia.
- Diagnosis of PNH, LGLL, or a clonal disorder with poor risk cytogenetics.
- HIV, current or past hepatitis B, current hepatitis C, or serious uncontrolled infection.
- Recent ATG or similar drugs within 3 months, or rituximab-type drugs within 28 days.
The registry criteria, word for word
Show all 33 criteriaShow less
Who can take part
- Age ≥ 18 years old
- Women of childbearing potential and males must agree to use 2 methods of effective contraception, with at least 1 method being highly effective
- Participants with SAA must have a current or prior diagnosis of SAA or very SAA
- Received one ≥ 3-month course of ATG and/or CSA-based IST
- Refractory SAA, defined as failure to achieve CR or PR ≥ 3 months after starting ATG and/or CSA-based IST
- Relapsed SAA, defined as relapse following a CR or PR that was achieved ≥ 3 months after starting ATG- and/or cyclosporine A (CSA)-based IST
- Current or prior diagnosis of NSAA
- No current or prior diagnosis of SAA
- Received at least 1 prior course of IST such as ATG- or CSA, with or without a TPO-R agonist (lasting ≥ 3 months)
- Meets criteria for transfusion dependence (either RBC or platelet):
- RBC transfusion dependence: transfusion of ≥ 2 units of RBCs in the past 56 days
- Platelet transfusion dependence: transfusion of ≥ 1 unit of apheresis platelets in the past 28 days; Participants entering the Extension Treatment Period must meet the following criteria:
- Signed informed consent form (ICF) for the Extension Treatment Period
- CR or PR by Week 24 during the Main Treatment Period
Who cannot take part
- Prior HCT
- Use of a T-cell depleting agent (e.g., ATG, alemtuzumab, thymoglobulin) within 3 months prior to Day 1
- Use of a B-cell depleting agent (e.g., rituximab, ocrelizumab, ofatumumab, ublituximab) within 28 days prior to Day 1
- Calcineurin inhibitor (e.g., cyclosporine), TPO-R agonist (e.g., eltrombopag), Androgen (e.g., danazol), Oral Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitor
- Regardless of their use as an established therapy at screening, use of the above medications is prohibited for all participants from 3 months after Day 1
- Current or prior infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV)
- Diagnosis of Fanconi anemia, dyskeratosis congenita, or other congenital BMF syndrome
- Evidence of a clonal disorder with poor risk cytogenetics per Revised International Prognostic Scoring System (IPSS-R) for MDS
- Diagnosis of PNH or a clonal hematologic bone marrow disorder such as LGLL. Existence of PNH clones, LGLL cells, or clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) clones without a clinical diagnosis is not exclusionary
- Current infection not adequately responding to appropriate therapy or requiring hospitalization
- Current uncontrolled or invasive infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein Barr virus (EBV), varicella zoster virus (VZV), herpes simplex virus (HSV), or human T-lymphotropic virus-1 (HTLV-1), defined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at screening. Note that low level CMV, EBV, or VZV viremia is not exclusionary
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection
- Current hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection
- Latent tuberculosis (TB) infection as indicated by IFN-γ release assay without documentation of appropriate treatment (appropriate therapy as defined by the World Health Organization [WHO] and/or the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)
- Estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 at screening (using the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration formula; Levey 2009)
- Use of any of the following within 14 days of Day 1, unless used as an established therapy at screening and there is evidence of either progressive cytopenia or lack of count improvement over the 3 months before screening:
- Total bilirubin > 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) (> 3 × ULN if known Gilbert's disease)
- Aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase > 2.5 × ULN (except in participants with known iron overload)
- Planning to receive HCT as treatment for AA

About the trial
What the trial wants to find out
This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1/2 basket study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Dibotatug (DR-01) in adults with Bone Marrow Failure syndromes.
The group in the trial
- Dibotatug (DR-01)Treatment being tested
Subjects in this arm will receive 20 weeks of dosing with dibotatug. Subjects with a CR or PR by Week 24 have the option to continue dosing through Week 48; Dibotatug will be administered via IV infusion.
