Expanded Access Protocol Thymus Transplantation

"Subjects receive cultured thymus tissue which is implanted into the quadriceps muscle. Subjects may receive pre and/or post-implantation immunosuppression.~Potential subjects are screened for eligibility. The thymus tissue (from an unrelated donor), the donor, and the donor's mother are screened for safety. Cultured thymus tissue is implanted into the subject's quadriceps muscle under general anesthesia in the operating room. Two to three months post-implantation, if medically stable, subjects may undergo an allograft biopsy. Subjects undergo laboratory testing for approximately one year post-implantation. At year 2 post-implantation, subjects are contacted for data collection."

RATGAM and Cyclosporine or Tacrolimus may be given, depending on the patient. The doses, timing, and trough levels will vary depending on the patient's clinical condition.
