Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) affects white blood cell function. Currently, the only curative treatment is bone marrow transplant to replace the abnormal stem cells with new ones (donor cells) capable of making a normal immune system. Transplant problems include graft versus host disease (GvHD) and graft rejection. With GvHD, donor cells attack the recipient s normal tissue. Researchers want to use preparation drugs and a high cell dose to increase graft success. They want to use 2 immunosuppressive drugs (cyclophosphamide and sirolimus) to lessen the risk of GvHD. ...

To determine engraftment rates with the use of high cell doses, without increasing the risk of GvHD by using post-transplant cyclophosphamide and sirolimus in conjunction with a busulfan- based conditioning regimen. We will compare the incidence...
