Study Summary

This is a single arm pilot study using TCR alpha/beta+ T cell-depleted peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) from closely matched unrelated donors or partially matched/haploidentical related donors for hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) in patients with acquired and inherited bone marrow failure (BMF) syndromes.

iv. History of severe bacterial or fungal infection associated with neutropenia, including, but not limited to, pneumonia, osteomyelitis, mastoiditis, or bacteremia. If no infection history, must otherwise have evidence of toxicity due to chronic G-CSF therapy, including osteopenia, splenomegaly or isolated cytogenetic abnormalities.

Study Description

This is a single arm pilot study using TCR alpha/beta+ T cell-depleted peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) from closely matched unrelated donors or partially matched/haploidentical related donors for hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) in patients with acquired and inherited bone marrow failure (BMF) syndromes. Previously established, disease-specific transplant preparative regimens will be administered based on the specific underlying BMF condition. Mobilized PBSC will be processed using the CliniMACS system for TCR alpha/beta+ T cell depletion plus cluster of differentiation 19+ (CD19+) B cell depletion. The study will determine efficacy of this strategy in terms of engraftment, rates of acute and chronic Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD), and one year overall and event-free survival.
