Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
---|---|---|
Severe Sickle Cell Disease Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes Metabolic Disorders Immunologic Disorders Hemoglobinopathies Non-malignant Disorders | Drug: RIC regimen Drug: GVHD prophylaxis regimen | Phase 1 Phase 2 |
Patients < 21 years of age with a non-malignant disorder benefited by hematopoietic stem cell transplant will receive a reduced intensity conditioning regimen consisting of hydroxyurea, alemtuzumab, fludarabine, thiotepa, and melphalan.
This will be followed by a familial HLA-mismatched bone marrow transplant. The primary objective is to establish safety and donor cell engraftment at 100 days and 1 year post-transplant.

Ages Eligible for Study: | 1 Day to 21 Years (Child, Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients with sickle cell disease must have hemoglobin S < 30% within 30 days prior to beginning alemtuzumab
- Age </= 20.99 years at the time of enrollment
- Performance score >/= 50
- Left ventricular ejection fraction > 40% or left ventricular shortening fraction > 26% by echocardiogram
- DLCO > 40% (corrected for hemoglobin) or pulse oximetry with a baseline O2 saturation of >/= 90% on room air if too young to perform PFTs
