A Study to Evaluate Radiation- and Alkylator-free Bone Marrow Transplantation Regimen for Patients with Dyskeratosis Congenita

Overview

Información sobre este estudio

The purpose of this study is to test whether a regimen that avoids DNA compounds and radiation can permit successful bone marrow transplantation (BMT) without compromising survival in patients with DC.

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Bone marrow hypocellular for age.
  • Moderate or severe aplastic anemia defined by one of the following: peripheral blood neutrophils < 0.5 x 10^9/L; platelets < 30 x 10^9/L or platelet transfusion dependence; reticulocytes < 50 x 10^9/L in anemic patients or red cell transfusion dependence.
  • Diagnosis of dyskeratosis congenita based on clinical triad of abnormalities of skin pigmentation, nail dystrophy, oral leukoplakia; OR one of clinical triad and presence of two or more associated features; OR a pathogenic mutation in DKC1,TERC, TERT, NOP10, NHP2, TCAB1, TINF2, CTC1, PARN, RTEL1, or ACD as reported by a CLIA-approved laboratory; OR age-adjusted mean telomere length < 1%ile in peripheral blood lymphocytes as reported by a CLIA-approved laboratory; OR Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome; OR Revesz syndrome
  • Availability of a related or unrelated donor with a 7/8 or 8/8 match for HLA-A, B, C, and DRB1.
  • Patient and/or legal guardian must be able to sign informed consent.
  • Donor must provide a marrow allograft.
  • Diagnosis of Fanconi anemia must be excluded by mitomycin C or diepoxybutane chromosomal breakage testing on peripheral blood at a CLIA-approved laboratory (not required for patients with a genetic mutation consistent with DC).
  • Adequate renal function with glomerular filtration rate equal to or greater than 30 ml/min/1.73 m2.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Clonal cytogenetic abnormalities associated with MDS or AML on bone marrow examination.
  • Karnofsky/Lansky performance status < 40.
  • Uncontrolled bacterial, viral or fungal infections.
  • Positive test for the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
  • Pregnancy or breastfeeding.
  • Known severe or life-threatening allergy or intolerance to fludarabine, alemtuzumab, cyclosporine, or mycophenolate mofetil.
  • Positive patient anti-donor HLA antibody, which is deemed clinically significant.
  • Prior allogeneic marrow or stem cell transplantation.
  • Prior solid organ transplantation.
