CD34+ (Non-Malignant) Stem Cell Selection for Patients Receiving Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a condition that results from a reaction of transplanted donor T-lymphocytes against the body and organs of the patient receiving the transplanted cells. There are two forms: acute (early) and chronic (late). Acute GVHD may produce skin rashes, liver disease, diarrhea, and an increased risk of ...
Bone Marrow and Kidney Transplant for Patients With Chronic Kidney Disease and Blood Disorders
The main purpose of this study is to examine the outcome of a combined bone marrow and kidney transplant from a partially matched related (haploidentical or "haplo") donor. This is a pilot study, you are being asked to participate because you have a blood disorder and kidney disease. The aim ...
Using Furosemide to Prevent Fluid Overload During Red Blood Cell Transfusion in Neonates
Red cell transfusion is a very common practice in neonates, particularly in preterm infants. It has been estimated that approximately 300,000 neonates undergo transfusions annually. The decision to administer a blood transfusion to a sick anemic neonate is made after consideration of multiple clinical factors, including: poor weight gain, oxygenation ...
Improving the Results of Bone Marrow Transplantation for Patients With Severe Congenital Anemias
Nonmyeloablative allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplants are currently being investigated in phase I/II trials assessing engraftment, efficacy, and toxicity at a number of transplant centers. Preliminary data have shown a high rate of complete donor engraftment with a relatively low toxicity profile. The decreased risk of transplant-related complications ...
Conditioning Regimen for Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem-Cell Transplantation
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only curative choice for a number of inherited bone marrow failure syndromes, hemoglobinopathies, metabolic disorders and primary immune deficiencies. While survival of these patients is typically better than survival of patients with malignancies, toxicities of conditioning regimens and failure of engraftment remain challenges. Most ...
T-Cell Depleted Alternative Donor Bone Marrow Transplant for Sickle Cell Disease and Thalassemia
CD3/CD19 depletion of mismatched donor grafts in the setting of reduced intensity, immune-ablative conditioning for patients with sickle cell disease and other transfusion-dependent anemias should sufficiently achieve engraftment while decreasing the incidence of treatment-related toxicities and achieving an acceptable incidence of graft versus host disease. Utilizing mismatched unrelated volunteer donors ...
Fludarabine Phosphate Cyclophosphamide Total Body Irradiation and Donor Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Patients With Blood Cancer
PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the rate of relapse, defined as recurrence of underlying disease or progression of underlying disease, at 1 year in patients who receive haploidentical peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs) after reduced intensity conditioning and post-transplant cyclophosphamide. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate safety including development of acute ...
Nonmyeloablative Stem Cell Transplant in Children With Sickle Cell Disease and a Major ABO-Incompatible Matched Sibling Donor
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a debilitating chronic blood disorder with multi-system end-organ damage that leads to morbidity and early mortality. The only cure for SCD is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), which given the risks with unrelated HSCT, is only an option for a minority of patients who have ...
Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant for High Risk Hemoglobinopathies
This is a study to collect the outcomes of stem cell transplantation for patients with hematologic diseases other than cancer.
