Hematopoietic Progenitor Cells, Cord (HPC-C, UCB) HPC-C is a minimally manipulated placental/ umbilical cord blood product containing live human cord blood cells for unrelated allogeneic use.
Indications Being Considered • Hematological Malignancies • Hurler Syndrome • Krabbe Disease • X-Linked Adrenoleukodystrophy • Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases • Bone Marrow Failure • Beta-Thalassemia
Sources of Efficacy Information • Dockets Datasets • Individual data • Lack diagnostic criteria • Variable completeness and quality • Docket Summaries and Case Reports • Published Historical Control Data • Published Studies of UCB
Dose Consideration:TNC dose > 2.5 x 107/kg • Total nucleated cell (TNC) dose • Gibbons (Institute of Medicine (IOM)) • Pooled dataset of 755 patients • Competing risk survival model • Assessed effect of TNC by < 2.5, 2.5 - 5, > 5 • Found that when using a TNC dose < 2.5, the 2-year survival was markedly lower and graft failure rate higher with an HLA mismatch
Review Strategy forHematological Malignancies • Focus on acute leukemias – ALL & AML • Focus on overall survival outcomes • Compare to bone marrow transplant (BMT) • There are controlled comparisons of BMT to conventional chemotherapy • Recent published comparisons of UCB vs. BMT
Hematological Malignancies Observations • UCB transplant appears generally comparable to BMT for acute leukemia • Feasibility of assessing each hematological malignancy is limited • May be worse survival with dose < 2.5 x107
Review Strategy forNon-Malignant Indications • Focus on the 4 specified indications + diseases with greatest representation in docket for the 2 broad indications • Focus on survival outcomes • Docket data provided little other than survival • Good endpoint for cross-study comparisons, historical data have little objective data on other outcomes • Important in light of treatment-related mortality • Misses other relevant outcomes
Review Strategy forNon-Malignant Indications (cont.) • Search literature for candidate control populations • Compare docket outcomes to control population outcomes • Evaluate UCB studies in literature, if available • Explore data for evidence of dose effects
Specified Indications:Lysosomal Storage and Peroxisomal Enzyme Deficiency Disorders and Beta-Thalassemia
Hurler Syndrome – Docket Findings • N = 72, median age 1.3 years • 30% mortality in first 2 years, stable thereafter • Heavy censoring over first 6 years • Concerns about accuracy of follow-up time reporting • Increased enzymes measured in blood
Survival (with CI) Following UCB Transplant for 71 Hurler Patients – Docket Data At Risk: 28 24 20 15 98 5 3
Hurler Syndrome – Historical Data • UK registry • Patients seen at small number of centers, so had nearly complete capture • For those w/o HSCT (n=140) • Median survival ~ 8 years • More than 20% survived 10 years
Survival from Birth for Hurler Syndrome in the UK (Moore 2008)
Comparisons to Control • Moore BMT vs. Control • Relative hazard 0.58 • UCB vs. Control • Relative hazard 2.0 – 2.6 • Crossover feature • Shorter F/U with UCB
Hurler Syndrome Observations • Early mortality • Break even point projected to be in range of5 to 9 years • UCB survival looks similar to BMT, but has shorter follow-up experience • Enzyme elevations occur • Clinical meaningfulness is unclear • No dose response seen for survival • median dose 11 x107/kg, range 3.4 - 30
Krabbe Disease – Docket Findings • N = 38, median age 0.7 years • 37% mortality in first 2 years • Additional deaths and progressive censoring in later years • Concerns about accuracy of follow-up time reporting • Increased enzymes measured in blood
Survival (with CI) Following UCB Transplant in 38 Krabbe Disease Patients – Docket Data At Risk: 23 18 12 9 6 4 2
Krabbe Disease – Historical Data • Hunter’s Hope Krabbe Family Database • Based on Questionnaires • Survival highly dependent on age at symptom onset
Survival by Age of Symptom Onset in Krabbe Disease – Hunter’s Hope Database (Duffner 2009) Onset ≥ 13 Months n = 11 Survival Probability Onset 7 – 12 Months n = 22 Onset 0 – 6 Months n = 81 0 8.3 16.7 25 33.3 41.7 Years
Survival after UCB for Krabbe Disease (Escolar 2005) Asymptomatic n = 11 Survival Probability Symptomatic n = 14 Untreated Control Years: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Issues in Assessing Pre-symptomatic Krabbe Disease Transplantation • Age of symptom onset correlates strongly with prognosis • Not known in a pre-symptomatic patient • Post hoc analysis, possible selection bias • Peri-transplant experience less favorable with additional experience • Most pre-symptomatic transplanted patients still appear to be severely affected
Krabbe Disease Observations • Survival in general patient population appears to overlap candidate controls • Variable phenotype makes it hard to identify appropriate control for pre-symptomatic patients – knowing prognosis is critical • Enzyme elevations occur • Clinical meaningfulness is unclear • No dose response seen for survival • median dose 16.5 x107/kg, range 2.4 - 50
ALD – Docket Findings • N = 21, median age 8 years • 25% mortality in first 2 years, stable thereafter • 5-year mortality 75%, lower end of CI 52% • Small number of patients (21), limited F/U beyond 5 years • Concerns about accuracy of follow-up time reporting
Survival (with CI) Following UCB Transplant in 21 ALD Patients – Docket Data At Risk: 13 12932
ALD – Historical Data • Primarily from Kennedy Krieger Institute • Phenotype highly variable • Prognosis relates to MRI findings at presentation and age of onset • For those w/o HSCT (n = 283) • Median survival 8.6 years after symptom onset • 5-year survival 66%
Survival for Early Stage ALD (Mahmood 2007) Transplanted n = 19 95% 54% Untransplanted n = 30 Survival Probability 0 5 10 15 20 Years after First Abnormal MRI
ALD Observations • Survival appears to overlap experience in controls • Variable phenotype makes it difficult to identify appropriate controls • No dose response seen for survival • Median dose 4 x107/kg, range 1.7 - 14
SCID – Docket Findings • N = 47, median age 0.6 years • 35% mortality in first 2 years, stable thereafter. • 2-year survival 65%, lower end of CI 50% • Limited F/U after 5 years, but 10 (21%) known alive through 4 years post UCB • Some older patients (> 2 years) present
Survival (with CI) Following UCB Transplant for 47 SCID Patients – Docket Data At Risk: 26 16 12 10 3
SCID – Historical Data • In 434 cases published in 1978 (Hitzig), all untreated infants died within the first months of life. • In 22 untreated cases reported in 1993 (Stephan), all died by about 18 months of follow-up.
Survival in SCID Patients by BMT Type and Without Transplant (Stephan 1993) HLA-identical N=30 Survival Probability HLA-non-identical n=50 No transplant n=22 0 4.2 8.3 12.5 16.7 20.8 25 Years
SCID Observations • Rapid fatality in control groups appears distinct from UCB experience • In view of age distribution, some question about docket diagnoses (or need for more contemporary controls) • No dose response seen for survival • Median dose 13 x107/kg, range 2.9 - 74
FA – Docket Findings • N = 39, median age 8 years • 64% mortality at 6 months, 72% in first year • Little F/U beyond 3 years • Suggestion of worse outcomes with low dose
Survival (with CI) Following UCB Transplant for 39 Fanconi Anemia Patients – Docket Data At Risk:11 732
FA – Historical Data • International Fanconi Anemia Registry (IFAR) established in 1982 • Analysis in 2003 had 754 patients with median F/U of 10.6 years • Mortality nearly linear from birth through 50 years • ~2% mortality/year
Mortality in Fanconi Anemia – IFAR (Kutler 2003) Cumulative Mortality
