Reduced-Intensity Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant for High Risk Lysosomal and Peroxisomal Disorders
United States3 participantsStarted 2012-07-11
Plain-language summary
This study is designed to test the ability to achieve donor hematopoietic engraftment while maintaining low rates of transplant-related mortality (TRM) in patients with high-risk lysosomal and peroxisomal disorders using a novel conditioning regimen for hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). After a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen using volumetric-modulated arc therapy (VMAT)-delivered low-dose total body irradiation (TBI) with highly conformal marrow boosting, patients will be transplanted using either a related or unrelated allograft. The cell source may be marrow, peripheral blood or cord blood based on donor availability.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD): Patients from 0-55 years of age diagnosed with ALD as determined by very long chain fatty acid testing will be eligible for this protocol if they have evidence of cerebral or cerebellar disease based on MRI testing,
* Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD): Patients from 0-55 years of age diagnosed with MLD as determined by arylsulfatase A activity.
* Globoid Cell Leukodystrophy (GLD): Patients from 0-55 years of age diagnosed with GLD as determined by galactocerebrosidase activity will be eligible for this protocol
* Wolman's disease, GM1 gangliosidosis, Tay Sachs disease, Sanfilippo syndrome, Sandhoff disease or other inherited metabolic diseases including but not limited to I-cell disease (mucolipidosis II): Patients who are determined to be sufficiently advanced or high risk based on the following reasons:
* Symptomatic disease, as based on neurologic examination or evidence of deterioration based on subsequent neuropsychologic evaluations.
* Evidence of an expected poor outcome based on genetic testing or a prior family history of aggressive disease.
* Other metabolic disorders, including but not limited to I-cell disease, that are deemed to be high-risk for a poor outcome with a standard transplant regimen due to anticipated toxicity based on experience gained at the University of Minnesota or other centers.
* Donor Availability
* Transplantation using sufficiently matched related donors (such as matched siblings)…
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.
