Summary
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and effectiveness of Umbilical Cord Blood Transplant (UCBT) to treat the patient's disease, and to see if this treatment can decrease the incidence of GVHD.
This study is for patients that were born with a disease that affects their body's metabolism or immune system. The doctor plans to treat the patient for this illness with a stem cell transplant.
While improved medical care has allowed many people with these diseases to live longer, the only way to truly cure the diseases is by means of a stem cell transplant from a donor who does not have the disease. A stem cell transplant will replace sick cells with new healthy donor cells. Stem cells grow into different types of blood cells that people need, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. In a stem cell transplant, the patients own stem cells would be killed by chemotherapy drug and then replaced by stem cells from the donor. Stem cells can be collected from the bone marrow, peripheral blood or umbilical cords. In this study, umbilical cords will be the source of the stem cells.
Currently, large inventories of umbilical cord blood units are available in public banks for transplantation in those lacking bone marrow donors. UCB transplants offer several advantages over adult bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplants, including:
1. Rapid availability,
2. Absence of donor risk,
3. Low risk of transmissible infectious diseases,
4. Low risk of acute GvHD (as compared to recipients of unrelated donor marrow and peripheral blood cells).
The two main causes of death after umbilical cord blood transplantation for disorders for these kinds of patients, are graft failure and infection.
In this study we are trying to address these two problems by using different drugs to prepare patients for the transplant.
To help improve engraftment (cells begin to grow), we will include the drug Fludarabine to the usually used Busulfan and Cytoxan that the study patients will receive before their transplant.
We will try to decrease the chance of developing graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) by using Cyclosporin A (CSA) and Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF), instead of Anti-Thymocyte Globulin (ATG) which is normally used.
Eligibility Criteria
INCLUSION CRITERIA
- Patients less than 18 years of age.
- Patients with a congenital or acquired immunologic, hematological, or metabolic pediatric disease (including SCID) in which stem cell transplantation has been beneficial.
- Related or Unrelated Umbilical Cord Blood Unit with 0-1 antigen mismatch, 5-6 HLA- A and B (at low to intermediate resolution) and DRB1 (at high resolution).
- Total cryopreserved HSC graft cell dose must be 5 x 10^7 or greater nucleated cells per kilogram recipient body weight.
- Lansky/Karnofsky scores 60 or greater.
- Patient has DLCO > 50% predicted or FEV1 > 50%, if applicable.
- Written informed consent and/or signed assent line from patient, parent or guardian.
EXCLUSION CRITERIA
- Patients with uncontrolled infections as assessed by the principal investigator only. For bacterial infections, patients must be receiving definitive therapy and have no signs of progressing infection for 72 hours prior to starting conditioning. For fungal infections patients must be receiving definitive systemic antifungal therapy and have no signs of progressing infection for 1 week prior to enrollment. Progressing infection is defined as hemodynamic instability attributable to sepsis or new symptoms, worsening physical signs or radiographic findings attributable to infection. Persisting fever without other signs or symptoms will not be interpreted as progressing infection.
- Severe renal disease (creatinine > 3X normal for age).
- Severe hepatic disease (direct bilirubin > 3 mg/dL or SGOT > 500).
- Patients with symptomatic cardiac failure unrelieved by medical therapy or evidence of significant cardiac dysfunction by echocardiogram (shortening fraction < 20%).
- HIV positive.
