Myeloablative Conditioning, Prophylactic Defibrotide and Haplo AlloSCT for Patients With Sickle Cell Disease (NCT02675959)
The Safety and Efficacy of Prophylactic Defibrotide Administration in Children, Adolescents, and Young Adults With Sickle Cell Disease or Beta Thalassemia Following Myeloablative Conditioning (MAC) and Haploidentical or Matched Unrelated Donor (MUD) Stem Cell Transplantation Utilizing CD34 Enrichment and T-Cell (CD3) Addback
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
This is a follow-up trial to NYMC 526 (NCT01461837) to assess the safety, efficacy and toxicity of administering Defibrotide prophylaxis for high-risk sickle cell or beta thalassemia patients undergoing a familial haploidentical or MUD allogeneic stem cell transplantation with CD34 enrichment and T-cell addback. This patient population historically has a risk of developing sinusoidal obstructive syndrome (SOS) and Defibrotide has demonstrated efficacy in treatment of SOS. The Funding Source is FDA OOPD.
