Reduced Intensity Conditioning and Familial HLA-Mismatched BMT for Non-Malignant Disorders

A Phase I/II Trial of Reduced Intensity Conditioning and Familial HLA-Mismatched Bone Marrow Transplantation in Children With Non-Malignant Disorders

Important: This information is not medical advice. Talk to your doctor about whether a clinical trial is right for you.

About This Trial

This study is designed to estimate the efficacy and toxicity of familial HLA mismatched bone marrow transplants in patients with non-malignant disease who are less than 21 years of age and could benefit from the procedure.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Nonmalignant disorder requiring bone marrow transplant including bone marrow failure syndromes, metabolic disorders, immunologic disorders, or hemoglobinopathy - For patients with sickle cell disease, must have one of the following severe manifestations: 1. Overt or silent stroke or persistently elevated transcranial doppler velocities despite transfusion therapy 2. Recurrent acute chest syndrome with significant respiratory compromise each time 3. Sickle nephropathy 4. Recurrent admissions for vaso-occlusive episodes resulting in prolonged opioid use and poor quality of life with interrupted school attendance activity 5. Red cell alloimmunization with the need for chronic transfusions 6. Recurrent osteonecrosis or multiple joint involvement from avascular necrosis - 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 - Serum creatinine \</= 1.5x upper limit of normal for age and/or GFR \> 70 mL/min/1.73m2 - Direct bilirubin \< 2x upper limit of normal for age - ALT and AST \< 5x upper limit of normal for age - Participants who have or are receiving \>/= 8 packed red blood cell transfusions for \>/= 1 year or \>/= 20 packed red blood cell transfusions (lifetime cumulative) will undergo liver MRI for estimation of hepatic iron content. 1\.
