Cytoxan, Fludara, and Antithymocyte Globulin Conditioning Followed By Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Fanconi Anemia

Posted on

RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, before a donor stem cell transplant helps to remove the patient’s cells to allow for the transplant cells to take and grow. It also helps stop the patient’s immune system from rejecting the donor’s stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient, they may help the patient’s bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells can make an immune response against the body’s normal cells. Giving antithymocyte globulin and removing the T cells from the donor cells before transplant and giving cyclosporine before and after transplant may stop this from happening.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects of cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, and antithymocyte globulin followed by donor stem cell transplant and to see how well it works in treating patients with Fanconi anemia.

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant for Dyskeratosis Congenita or Severe Aplastic Anemia

Posted on

Fludarabine-based preparative regimen followed by an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant using related or unrelated donor in persons 0-70 years of age diagnosed with dyskeratosis congenita or severe aplastic anemia who have bone marrow failure characterized by a requirement for red blood cell and platelet transfusions. Three different preparative regimens are included based on disease and donor type.

Haploidentical Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HaploHCT) Following Reduced Intensity Conditioning (RIC) for Selected High Risk Non-Malignant Diseases

Posted on

This is a Phase II study for the use of T-cell replete reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) haploidentical donor allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HaploHCT) for individuals with high-risk non-malignant diseases who lack a suitable HLA-matched sibling donor.

A Study Evaluating Gene Therapy With BB305 Lentiviral Vector in Sickle Cell Disease

Posted on

This is a non-randomized, open-label, multi-site, single-dose, Phase 3 study in approximately 35 adults and pediatric subjects ≥2 and ≤50 years of age with sickle cell disease (SCD). The study will evaluate hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) transplantation (HSCT) with LentiGlobin BB305 Drug Product for SCD.

Selinexor in Treating Younger Patients With Recurrent or Refractory Solid Tumors or High-Grade Gliomas

Posted on

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of selinexor in treating younger patients with solid tumors or central nervous system (CNS) tumors that have come back (recurrent) or do not respond to treatment (refractory). Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as selinexor, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading.

Clinical Benefit of Using Molecular Profiling to Determine an Individualized Treatment Plan for Patients With High Grade Glioma (PNOC008)

Posted on

This is a 2 strata pilot trial within the Pacific Pediatric Neuro-Oncology Consortium (PNOC).

The study will use a new treatment approach based on each patient’s tumor gene expression, whole-exome sequencing (WES), targeted panel profile (UCSF 500 gene panel), and RNA-Seq. The current study will test the efficacy of such an approach in children with High-grade gliomas HGG.

Auto Transplant for High Risk or Relapsed Solid or CNS Tumors

Posted on

This is a standard of care treatment guideline for high risk or relapsed solid tumors or CNS tumors consisting of a busulfan, melphalan, thiotepa conditioning (for solid tumors) or carboplatin and thiotepa conditioning (for CNS tumors) followed by an autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant. For solid tumors, if appropriate, disease specific radiation therapy at day +60. For CNS tumors, the conditioning regimen and autologous peripheral blood stem cell transplant will be given for 3 cycles.
