Chimeric Value That is Required to Maintain Graft Survival and Hematologic Normalcy. Secondary · Up to Year 5

Define the level of chimerism required to maintain graft survival and hematologic normalcy. Hematologic normalcy may be defined as: being free from sickle cell disease. The chimeric status of patients will be measured on days +14 (or when subject starts to engraft), +30, +60 and +100, and periodically after day +100, by microsatellite analysis of the peripheral blood. Engraftment of donor cells was assessed with the use of methods that detect informative polymorphisms in regions known to contain short tandem repeats. Peripheral-blood CD3+ T cells and CD14+CD15+ myeloid cells were selected fo

Sponsor's own description

Background: Bone marrow transplantation (BMT), which involves transplanting a donor's marrow stem cells, is capable of curing some congenital anemias. BMT usually involves high-intensity treatment with chemotherapy and radiation to kill abnormal cells, which affects all systems of the body. People with anemias often have damage to other organs such as the kidneys, which can be further damaged by the chemotherapy. Only approximately 20 percent of patients have a full-matched donor, making treatment for many people with anemias unavailable. However, 90 percent of patients may have a half-matched donor, but using a half-matched donor increases the toxicity of BMT. Objectives: To determine if a research BMT with half-matched donor cells, low-intensity radiation, immunosuppressant drugs, and no chemotherapy will be effective in patients with sickle cell disease and Beta-thalassemia. To determine the effectiveness of cyclophosphamide, an immunosuppressant drug, in preventing rejection of the donor cells. Eligibility: Recipients are individuals at least 18 years of age who have been diagnosed with sickle cell disease and Beta-thalassemia, and who have a family member who is a haploidentical (i.e., half match) tissue match. Donors are healthy individuals between the ages of 2 and 80 who are found to be suitable donors. Design: Donors will undergo apheresis, which involves withdrawing blood from one arm vein, passing it through a machine that removes bone marrow stem cells, and returning the remaining blood through the vein in the other arm. Donors will receive a drug that causes the stem cells to be released into the bloodstream prior to the apheresis procedure. Recipients will undergo routine physical and laboratory examinations, including bone marrow sampling at the beginning of the study. After transplantation, physical and laboratory examinations will occur on a weekly or twice weekly basis at the outpatient clinic. Recipients will be examined every 6 months starting 100 days posttransplant for 5 years. Recipients will receive low-dose radiation in two treatments 1 and 2 days before the transplant. They will also be given immunosuppressant therapy with alemtuzumab and sirolimus. Another immunosuppressant drug, cyclophosphamide, will be given in the future as needed to subsets of the recipients to prevent rejection of donor cells. Recipients will receive the donor stem cells through a previously inserted central line. The process takes up to 8 hours. Recipients will receive blood transfusions as necessary to prevent anemia and bleeding during the posttransplant period. They may also receive intravenous antibiotics to prevent infection.
