Study 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.

Read the 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.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Karnofsky performance status (KPS)

A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.

Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Donor engraftment as measured by chimerism

    Engraftment is measured in myeloid and lymphoid lineage cells

    Time frame: 100 days post-transplant

  2. Major toxicities as graded by the CTC v4

    Toxicity 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

    Time frame: 100 days post-transplant

Secondary outcomes

  1. Time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment as measured by complete blood counts

    Defined as an ANC \>500/microliter and platelets \>20,000 or 50,000/microliter depending on disorder

    Time frame: Post transplant

  2. Incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease as measured by protocol grading scale

    aGVHD - involving the skin, gut and liver. Classified according to grading described by Thomas et al. NEJM 1975; 292:895-902

    Time frame: 100 days post-transplant

  3. Incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease as measured by protocol grading scale

    cGVHD classified per Schulman et al. Am J Med 69: 204-17, 1980.

    Time frame: 2 years post-transplant

  4. Long-term donor engraftment by donor chimerism

    Donor 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.

    Time frame: 2 years post-transplant

  5. Immune reconstitution by laboratory evaluations

    Immune 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.

    Time frame: 1 year post-transplant

  6. Overall and disease free survival

    Overall 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.

    Time frame: 2 years post-transplant
