Hematopoietic Cell Transplant with Individualized Reduced Intensity Conditioning and Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide for the Treatment of Patients with Severe Aplastic Anemia and Other Forms of Acquired Bone Marrow Failure

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial tests how well hematopoietic cell transplant with individualized, reduced intensity conditioning and post-transplant cyclophosphamide works in treating patients with severe aplastic anemia and other forms of acquired bone marrow failure. Giving chemotherapy, with rituximab, rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG), cyclophosphamide, fludarabine and total-body irradiation before a hematopoietic stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into a patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make more healthy cells and platelets and may help destroy any remaining cancer cells. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can attack the body's normal cells (called graft-versus-host disease). Giving cyclophosphamide shortly after the transplant may stop this from happening. Giving hematopoietic cell transplant with individualized, reduced intensity conditioning and post-transplant cyclophosphamide may be effective in treating patients with severe aplastic anemia and other forms of acquired bone marrow failure.
