Reduced Intensity Transplant in Medically Refractory Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Systemic Sclerosis (SSc)

February 6, 2014 updated by: Mitchell Cairo, New York Medical College

Reduced Intensity Conditioning And Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation in Patients With Medically Refractory Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Medically Refractory Systemic Sclerosis (SSc)

The purpose of this study is to determine if a reduced intensity (RI) (non-myeloablative) chemoimmunotherapy followed by Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation AlloSCT (matched family donors and matched unrelated cord blood donors) will be well tolerated.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

This is to test whether a reduced intensity will result in a high degree of mixed or complete donor chimerism and stabilization of autoimmune disease in a select group of patients with medically refractory SLE or SSc.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Reduced Intensity Regimen for Refractory SLE
RI regimen of fludarabine/busulfan and Alemtuzumab (FBA) followed by AlloSCT in selected patients with medically refractory Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).
Eeduced intensity allogeneic stem cell transplantation with a fludarabine/busulfan/alemtuzumab conditioning regimen is anticipated to result in mixed and/or complete donor chimerism and potentially alter the natural history and outcome of patients with medically refractory Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) or Systemic Sclerosis (SSc).
Fludarabine 30 mg/m2 Day -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2
Busulfan 3.2 mg/kg Days _8, -7, -6, -5
Campath: 2 mg/m2 Day -5; 6 mg/m2 Day -4, -3; 20 mg/m2 Day -2
Other Names:
  • Alemtuzumab
Experimental: Reduced Intensity Regimen for SSc
RI regimen of fludarabine/busulfan and Alemtuzumab (FBA) followed by AlloSCT in selected patients with Systemic Sclerosis (SSc).
Eeduced intensity allogeneic stem cell transplantation with a fludarabine/busulfan/alemtuzumab conditioning regimen is anticipated to result in mixed and/or complete donor chimerism and potentially alter the natural history and outcome of patients with medically refractory Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) or Systemic Sclerosis (SSc).
Fludarabine 30 mg/m2 Day -7, -6, -5, -4, -3, -2
