Overview
This is a data collection study that will examine the general diagnostic and treatment data associated with the reduced-intensity chemotherapy-based regimen paired with simple alemtuzumab dosing strata designed to prevented graft failure and to aid in immune reconstitution following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
Description
Hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from a healthy donor can cure or alleviate a broad spectrum of non-malignant disorders (NMD). Although reduced-intensity conditioning (RIC) regimens promise decreased treatment-related morbidity and mortality, graft failure and infections are limiting the use of RIC in chemotherapy-naive patients. Dr. Szabolcs have completed several trials to evaluate a novel RIC regimen of alemtuzumab, hydroxyurea, fludarabine, melphalan, and thiotepa. The last trial at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of a highly effective and biologically rational chemotherapy-based RIC regimen paired with simple alemtuzumab dosing strata was tested and resulted in outstanding survival and remarkably low rates of graft failure. The favorable outcome described may serve as a toxicity and efficacy reference for emerging gene therapy strategies as well.
This prospective collection of clinical data will allow the investigators to further assess engraftment, GVHD, immunosuppressant use and overall survival in this patient population.
