Brief summary

Fludarabine-based preparative regimen followed by an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant using related or unrelated donor in persons 0-70 years of age diagnosed with dyskeratosis congenita or severe aplastic anemia who have bone marrow failure characterized by a requirement for red blood cell and platelet transfusions. Three different preparative regimens are included based on disease and donor type.

Interventions

DRUGAlemtuzumab

Alemtuzumab 0.2 mg/kg IV over 2 hours on days -10 to -6 from transplant.

DRUGFludarabine

Fludarabine 40 mg/m2 IV over 1 hour on days -6 to -2 from transplant.

DRUGCyclophosphamide

Cyclophosphamide 50 mg/kg IV over 2 hours on day -7 from transplant.

RADIATIONTotal Body Irradiation

TBI 200 cGy as a single fraction on day -1 from transplant.

BIOLOGICALStem Cell Transplant

Stem cell transplant on day 0.

DRUGAnti-thymocyte globulin

ATG (Thymoglobulin - Rabbit ) 3 mg/kg IV on days -5 to -3 from stem cell transplant.
