Brief summary

The hypothesis for this study is that a preparative regimen that maximizes host immunosuppression without myeloablation will be well tolerated and sufficient for engraftment of donor hematopoietic cells. It is also to determine major toxicities from these conditioning regimens, within the first 100 days after transplantation.

Detailed description

The study uses reduced intensity conditioning that is immune suppressive to achieve donor cell engraftment without exposure to radiation or high dose chemotherapy in children with non-malignant disorders. The intent is to minimize early and late regimen related toxicities in the context of a reduced intensity regimen. In addition to maximizing opportunity for donor cell engraftment, the trial seeks to minimize toxicities associated with transplant such as graft versus host disease and employs GVHD prophylaxis that seeks to decrease rates of acute and chronic GVHD in the setting of matched and mismatched donor stem cell transplants from marrow and cord blood sources.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Donor engraftment as measured by chimerism100 days post-transplantEngraftment is measured in myeloid and lymphoid lineage cells
Major toxicities as graded by the CTC v4100 days post-transplantToxicity monitoring includes unanticipated side effects (new) and all severe irreversible toxicities Grade 3 and above unexpected Grade 4 and above - all toxicities that are possibly, probably or definitely related to protocol therapy All deaths irrespective of attribution

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment as measured by complete blood countsPost transplantDefined as an ANC \>500/microliter and platelets \>20,000 or 50,000/microliter depending on disorder
Incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease as measured by protocol grading scale100 days post-transplantaGVHD - involving the skin, gut and liver. Classified according to grading described by Thomas et al. NEJM 1975; 292:895-902
Incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease as measured by protocol grading scale2 years post-transplantcGVHD classified per Schulman et al. Am J Med 69: 204-17, 1980.
Long-term donor engraftment by donor chimerism2 years post-transplantDonor chimerism is determined by PCR analysis after cell separation into lymphoid and myeloid lineage cells using antibodies. Can also be detected by FISH analysis in the event of donor and recipient sex discrepancy.
Immune reconstitution by laboratory evaluations1 year post-transplantImmune reconstitution detected by absolute numbers of T cell phenotypes, B cells and NK cells. T cell function determined by proliferative response to mitogens. B cell function determined by evaluating anti-tetanus antibody titers.
Overall and disease free survival2 years post-transplantOverall survival is defined as survival with or without disease Event free survival is defined as disease free, severe GVHD free survival, monitoring quality of life and relevant parameters.
