About this trial
This is a non-ablative (partial) stem cell transplant for patients with severe sickle cell disease or beta-thalassemia requiring red cell transfusions. The intensity of the transplant is slightly increased from our previous transplant regimens. The goal is to aim for higher percentage of donor cells to stably remain in the recipients long term.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Portal fibrosis by liver biopsy
Inadequate chelation history (defined as failure to maintain adequate compliance with chelation with deferoxamine initiated within 18 months of the first transfusion and administered at least 5 days each week)
Hepatomegaly of greater than 2 cm below the costochondral margin or by other imaging scans
Non disease specific
Disqualifiers
Karnofsky or Lanksy performance status of <40
Diffusion capacity of carbon monoxide (DLCO) <35% predicted (corrected for hemoglobin and alveolar volume). This criterion may be omitted in young children (e.g. near age 5) or other individuals who may have difficulty understanding or complying with instructions of testing.
Baseline oxygen saturation of <85% or PaO2 <70
Left ventricular ejection fraction: <35% estimated by ECHO
