Brief Summary

Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are a group of bone marrow failures that occur when the blood-forming cells in the bone marrow become abnormal leading to an abnormal differentiation and production of one or more blood cell types. According to the American Cancer Society, in the United States, MDS occurs at a rate of 4.8 cases for every 100,000 people; MDS affects an estimated 60,000 persons in the United States, with 10,000-15,000 new cases recorded each year. MDS is defined by ineffective haematopoiesis resulting in blood cytopenias (a reduction in the number of mature blood cells), and clonal instability with a risk of evolution to acute myeloid leukaemia (AML). Patients with MDS collectively have a high symptom burden and are also at risk of death from complications of cytopenias and AML. MDS is generally a disease that develops with ageing; the median age at diagnosis of MDS is ~70 years, and patients frequently have comorbid conditions. The goals of therapy for patients with MDS are to reduce disease-associated symptoms and the risk of disease progression and death, thereby improving both quality and quantity of life.

Minovia Therapeutics Ltd. ("Minovia") is a biotech company developing novel therapeutics based on its mitochondrial augmentation technology (MAT). MNV-201 is a cell therapy produced by MAT that consists of the participant's autologous CD34+ hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) enriched with allogeneic placental-derived mitochondria, manufactured in Minovia's GMP facility.

Conditions

Myelodysplastic Syndromes

Study Design

• Allocation Method: NA
• Intervention Model: SINGLE_GROUP
• Primary Study Purpose: TREATMENT
• Blinding Strategy: NONE

Study Groups

Autologous CD34+ cells enriched with allogenic placenta-derived mitochondria

Participants will receive a single or repeated dose of MNV-201 product by Infusion after 5 days of mobilization by G-CSF and an apheresis procedure.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

MNV-201 (Autologous CD34+ Cells Enriched with allogenic Placenta Derived Mitochondria)

Intervention Type: BIOLOGICAL

The participant will undergo 5 days of mobilization by G-CSF administration (Neupogen) once a day during 5 days.

On the 5th day, and after receiving the last dose of Neupogen, the participant will undergo Apheresis to collect CD34+ cells.

MNV-201 consists of autologous CD34+ cells enriched with allogeneic placenta derived mitochondria. Autologous CD34+ cells are isolated from the participant's peripheral blood after mobilization by apheresis. Allogeneic mitochondria are isolated under aseptic conditions from healthy donor placenta, cryopreserved and qualified before use.

Each product package will consist of a ready-for-injection sterile infusion bag containing clinical grade MNV-201 product for IV infusion for a single specified (autologous) participant.
