Stem Cell Transplant for Immunologic or Histiocytic Disorders
United States19 participantsStarted 2002-08
Plain-language summary
This study tests the clinical outcomes of a preparative regimen of fludarabine (FLU), anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG)/or Campath, and melphalan; followed by hematopoietic stem cell transplant, and a post transplant regimen of Cyclosporin A (CsA) in patients with immunologic or histiocytic disorders. The researchers hypothesize that this regimen will have a positive effect on post transplant engraftment and the incidence of graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD).
Patients will be randomized biologically into one of 3 arms based upon donor availability: (a) human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genotypic matched sibling donor, (b) HLA phenotypic matched unrelated peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) donor, (c) two HLA 0-2 antigen mismatched unrelated cord blood donors (double cord).

Inclusion Criteria:
Patients with immunodeficiencies or histiocytic disorders 0-35 years of age with an acceptable stem cell donor and disease characteristic defined by the following:
* Patients with histocytic disorders (hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis of any etiology and refractory Langerhans cell histiocytosis) who do not meet eligibility criteria for a myeloablative transplant procedure
* Patients with immunodeficiency disorders in whom residual immune function may not require a fully myeloablative preparative regimen or patient is ineligible for standard myeloablative preparative regimen (any form of severe combined immunodeficiency \[SCID\], or other immunodeficiency with T cell defect)
* Patients with immunodeficiency disorders that have had poor outcome with myeloablative stem cell transplants (including, but not limited to, common variable immunodeficiency \[CVID\], Wiskott Aldrich Syndrome \[WAS\] if \> 5 years of age, ataxia telangiectasia)
* Patients with immunodeficiencies or histocytic disorders that require a second stem cell transplant (SCT) for any reason
Exclusion Criteria:
* Karnofsky or Lansky performance score \<70
* Glomerular filtration rate (GFR)\<30% predicted
* Cardiac function \<50% normal by echocardiogram
* Serum creatinine \> 2x normal for age/weight
* Pregnant or lactating females
* Active serious infection that has not had an adequate course of therapy pre-SCT. Any patient with acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) or AIDS-related c…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
