Unrelated and Partially Matched Related Donor Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant with TCR alpha/beta+ T Cell and B Cell Depletion for the Treatment of Patients with Acquired or Inherited Bone Marrow Failure
This trial studies how well unrelated and partially matched related donor blood stem cell transplant with TCR alpha/ beta+ T cell and B cell depletion works for treating patients with acquired and inherited bone marrow failure. Cell transplants from an unrelated or partially matched related donor has a higher rate of complications. T cells within the donor cells may cause a complication called graft versus host disease (GVHD) where the transplanted cells from a donor can attack the body's normal cells. Using the CliniMacs device to remove alpha/beta T cells and B cells may reduce some of the complications of the transplant and decrease the time it takes for the new stem cells to establish a new immune system.

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 conditioning regimens.
CONDITIONING REGIMEN 1: Patients with acquired or inherited bone marrow failure associated with trilineage aplasia receive thymoglobulin on days -9 to -7, and undergo total body irradiation (TBI) on day -7. Patients also receive fludarabine on days -6 to -2, and cyclophosphamide on the following days depending on their disease: acquired aplastic anemia and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria on days -5 and -4, Fanconi anemia on days-5 to -2, and dyskeratosis congenita and related conditions on day -2. Patients then receive TCR alpha/beta/CD19-depleted allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cells intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on day 0.
CONDITIONING REGIMEN 2: Patients with inherited bone marrow failure syndromes without trilineage aplasia receive thymoglobulin on days -9 to -7, busulfan IV every 6 hours on days -8 to -5, fludarabine on days -6 to -2, and thiotepa on days -3 and -2. Patients then receive TCR alpha/beta/CD19-depleted allogeneic hematopoietic progenitor cells IV over 1 hour on day 0.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up to 2 years.
