Haploidentical Bone Marrow Transplantation for Sickle Cell Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Related human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-haploidentical bone marrow transplantation (BMT) with posttransplant cyclophosphamide may be curative for sickle cell disease. However, graft failure, severe graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), infections, and mortality remain a concern. We evaluated a novel conditioning regimen followed by related HLA-haploidentical BMT in adults with sickle cell disease.

Methods

In a phase 2, open-label, single-arm, multicenter study, 54 eligible participants from 19 U.S. centers were enrolled. Of these, 42 (78%) received transplantation with conditioning including antithymocyte globulin, fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, thiotepa, and total body irradiation. GVHD prophylaxis included posttransplant cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate mofetil, and si
