Study summary

Study Design: SCID infants receiving an unconditioned haploidentical transplant will be started on Sirolimus (0.05 mg/kg/day) day -5 for Acute Graft-Versus-Host Disease (aGVHD) prophylaxis. Sirolimus levels will be monitored with goal sirolimus trough level of 5-8 ng/mL. Patients will be monitored for signs of aGVHD as defined by UCSF SOP CL 221.06 through day +100. Sirolimus will be tapered once T-regulatory cell to CD4 effector cell ratio is > or = 9%.

Setting: Inpatient BMT Unit Benioff Children's Hospital at UCSF Medical Center

Study Subjects: 15 infants with diagnosis of maternally engrafted T cells SCID by CA Newborn screen receiving unconditioned haploidentical HSCT

Main Outcome Measures: Incidence of aGVHD (dermatitis, hepatitis, enteritis) as defined by SOP CL 221.06 by Day +100.

Hypothesis 1. Patients placed on sirolimus prophylaxis will have lower incidence of aGVHD compared to historical controls.

Hypothesis 2. Lower doses of sirolimus milligram per kilogram will be required to maintain goal troughs of 5-8 ng/mL.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Sirolimus

    Sirolimus (0.05 mg/kg/day) day -5 for aGVHD prophylaxis through day +100 or until T-regulatory cells \>9% of CD4 effector cells; whichever comes first.

    Drug: Sirolimus

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of aGVHD

    Incidence of aGVHD (dermatitis, hepatitis, enteritis) as defined by UCSF SOP CL 221.06 by Day +100.

    Time frame: 105 days

Secondary outcomes

  1. T-regulatory cell enumeration

    T-regulatory cell enumeration studies by blood draw prior to prophylaxis and at day +30, day+60, day+100.

    Time frame: 105 days

  2. Sirolimus therapeutic drug monitoring

    Sirolimus therapeutic drug monitoring will be done via blood draws(after initial 4th dose; thereafter every 4th dose with adjustment; once stable it will be measured weekly). We will determine the average dose in milligrams per kilograms that would be needed to reach therapeutic trough levels of 5-8 ng/mL.

    Time frame: 105 days
