Primary Immunodeficiency (PID) Congenital Bone Marrow Failure Syndromes Inherited Metabolic Disorders (IMD) Hereditary Anemias Inflammatory Conditions | Drug: data collection |
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from a healthy donor can cure or alleviate a broad spectrum of non-malignant disorders (NMD). Although reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens promise decreased treatment-related morbidity and mortality, graft failure and infections are limiting the use of RIC in chemotherapy-naive patients. Dr. Szabolcs have completed several trials to evaluate a novel RIC regimen of alemtuzumab, hydroxyurea, fludarabine, melphalan, and thiotepa. The last trial at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of a highly effective and biologically rational chemotherapy-based RIC regimen paired with simple alemtuzumab dosing strata was tested and resulted in outstanding survival and remarkably low rates of graft failure. The favorable outcome described may serve as a toxicity and efficacy reference for emerging gene therapy strategies as well.
This prospective collection of clinical data will allow the investigators to further assess engraftment, GVHD, immunosuppressant use and overall survival in this patient population.

- Drug: data collection
Study subjects will receive alemtuzumab, melphalan, thiotepa, fludarabine and hydroxyurea-based, reduced-intensity conditioning regimen in accordance with clinical practice at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh at the discretion of the treating physician. Medical data will be abstracted from subject's medical charts once the patient signs the informed consent.
- incidence of acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) [ Time Frame: up to 5 years ]grades 3-4, chronic extensive GVHD
- overall survival after HSCT [ Time Frame: up to 5 years ]review of the existing medical records to check on the participant's survival status
- Describe degree of engraftment, based upon chimerism data [ Time Frame: up to 5 years ]review of chimerism test results in the existing medical records to check on degree of donor engraftment measured by the percentage of donor-derived blood cells in the HSCT recipient
- Describe probability to discontinue systemic immunosuppression medications [ Time Frame: by 6, 9, and 12 months post-HSCT ]review of the existing medical records to check on the participant's current medications
- Describe the tempo of immune reconstitution [ Time Frame: over the first year post transplant ]review of the various test results in existing medical records to check on the participant's immune system recovery rate
- Describe the use of donor leukocyte infusion (DLI) [ Time Frame: up to 5 years ]review of the existing medical records to check on the participant's need for DLI
