Ph I/II Study of Allogeneic SCT for Clinically Aggressive Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) (NCT01499888)
Phase I/II Study of Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation to Treat Clinically Aggressive Sickle Cell Disease (SCD)
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
The investigators propose to determine the engraftment and transplant related morbidity and mortality after a non-myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant protocol using immune- suppressive agents and low-dose total body irradiation (TBI) without standard chemotherapy in patients with aggressive sickle cell disease who are not candidates for or experienced complications from hydroxyurea therapy. Fully HLA matched siblings will be used as donors for hematopoietic stem cells to reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality in this cohort of patients.
