Haploidentical Transplant for People With Chronic Granulomatous Disease (CGD) Using Alemtuzumab, Busulfan and TBI With Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide
Sponsor: National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
Summary
Background: CGD causes infections and inflammation. The only cure currently is a bone marrow transplant. Most often a perfectly matched bone marrow donor is used. Researchers want to see if they can lower the risks of using a mismatched donor. Objectives: To see if it is safe to use a related bone marrow donor who is only a partial match to a person with CGD. To see how well drugs given to a person before and after transplant help the body accept the transplant. Eligibility: People ages 4-65 with CGD for whom stem cell transplant may be a cure and who do not have a perfectly matched donor, related or unrelated. Design: Participants will be screened with: Medical history Physical exam Blood tests Participants will be admitted to the hospital about 2 weeks before the transplant. They will have blood, urine, breathing, and heart tests. They may have CT and/or MRI scans. They will have a needle inserted into their hipbone to remove marrow. They will have dental, neurologic, and psychologic tests. They will have a central catheter placed: A line will be placed into a vein in their upper chest. They will get drugs, chemotherapy, and radiation to prepare for the transplant. Participants will receive the donated cells through their catheter. The cells will be from one of their relatives. Participants will stay in the hospital about 6 weeks after the transplant. After they leave the hospital, participants will have to stay in the area with visits about 2 times a week for approximately 100 days post transplant. Then visits will be every 3 to 6 months for 2 years. Then visits will be once a year.

Conditions
Interventions
Busulfan
3 days of IV Busulfan. An alkylating chemotherapeutic agent determined to have broad myelosuppressive effects. On this study is being used as part of conditioning regimen for myelosuppressive properties as per package insert and standard of care.
Alemtuzumab
5 days of IV Alemtuzumab. A humanized monoclonal antibody directed against CD52 (which is abundantly expressed on all human lymphocytes), and causes T cell activation in vitro as well as complement-mediated lysis and antibody-dependent cellular toxicity. For this study, being used as part of the conditioning regimen per package insert and standard of practice.
Cyclophosphamide
2 days of IV Cyclophosphamide. This is an antineoplastic, and for this study is bine used for its immunosuppressive mechanism of action per package insert and standard of care
Sirolimus
Post Peripheral blood stem cell infusion. It is used for its immunosuppressive mechanism of action.
Total Body Irradiation
2 fractionated doses on -2 day. It is used for its immunosuppressive mechanism of action. It is SOP for conditioning for transplant.
Allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell
IV infused donor peripheral blood stem cell. Stem cells are cells that give rise to the blood cells - red blood cells that carry oxygen, white blood cells that help the body to fight infections, and platelets that help make the blood clot. Collected and infused per the standard of operating procedures established by the Department of Transfusion Medicine.
