Brief Summary
This study's goal is to determine the frequency and severity of acute graft versus host
disease, to evaluate incidence of primary and secondary graft rejection, to assess event free
survival and overall survival, to determine the time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment,
to determine the time to immune reconstitution (including normalization of T, B and natural
killer (NK) cell repertoire and Immunoglobulin G production), and to establish the incidence
of infectious complications including bacterial, viral, fungal and atypical mycobacterial and
other infections following CD34+ selection in children, adolescents and young adults
receiving an allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplant from a family member or
unrelated adult donor for a non-malignant disease.
Detailed Description
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is a condition that results from a reaction of transplanted
donor T-lymphocytes against the body and organs of the patient receiving the transplanted
cells. There are two forms: acute (early) and chronic (late). Acute GVHD may produce skin
rashes, liver disease, diarrhea, and an increased risk of infection. Chronic GVHD can appear
in patients without prior acute GVHD. Chronic GVHD may also produce skin rashes, liver
disease, diarrhea and an increased risk of infection. GVHD can make patients very sick, and
have GVHD can make it more likely that patients will not survive their transplant. In this
study, the investigators are offering to treat the donor peripheral blood stem cells in the
hope that it will make it less likely for the patient who receives them from having GVHD.
Patients on this study are being offered an experimental treatment involving the use of the
CliniMACS® Reagent System (Miltenyi Biotec, Germany), a CD34+ selection device to remove
T-cells from the peripheral blood stem cell transplant in order to decrease the risk of acute
and chronic GVHD. CD34+ stem cells are selected from the donor's peripheral blood stem cells.
In doing this, T-cells are also removed. T-cells are the cells which are responsible for
graft versus host disease (GVHD). This study is a clinical trial for patients diagnosed with
a non-malignant disease who will receive a peripheral blood stem cell transplant. Patients
with the following types of non-malignant diseases can participate in this study: Bone marrow
failure syndromes (including Severe Aplastic Anemia, Severe Congenital Neutropenia,
Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia (Kostmann's Syndrome), Diamond-Blackfan Anemia, Schwachman
Diamond Syndrome, Primary Immunodeficiency Syndromes, Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndromes,
and Histiocytic Disorders) and Hemoglobinopathies (including Sickle Cell Anemia and
Sickle/Beta Thalassemia). Patients on this study will be given standard transplant therapy
with either high doses of chemotherapy drugs or lower doses of chemotherapy drugs, depending
on their disease. Diseases within each disease group will receive chemotherapy that is
standard for that condition.
Some patients on this study will receive an allogeneic stem cell transplant (AlloSCT) from a
matched related donor. If a patient does not have a matched related donor, a bone marrow
search will be done at all of the bone marrow banks in the world. The patient will then go on
to receive an AlloSCT from either a partially matched family member or an unrelated adult
stem cell transplant donor. The transplanted cells will allow all the normal parts of the
patient's blood system to recover. The experimental portion of this treatment involves the
use of a Miltenyi CliniMacs CD34+ selection device to remove T-cells from the peripheral
blood stem cell transplant in order to decrease the risk of acute and chronic GVHD. CD34+
stem cell selection AlloSCT has been studied in adults with the malignant and non-malignant
disease with successful engraftment and has shown some improvement in GVHD. It is unknown if
CD34+ stem cell selection will work to prevent severe GVHD in children and adolescents.

Description
Patients will receive a pre-transplant conditioning regimen of Busulfan Fludarabine and Alemtuzumab. For patients with pre-transplant hepatic dysfunction, Melphalan will be substituted for the Busulfan. For patients receiving a second transplant or a "boost", pre-transplant conditioning based on the clinical condition of the patient will be determined by the Principal Investigator and the patient's bone marrow transplantation (BMT) physician. The donor peripheral blood stem cells will undergo CD34+ selection (Biological/Vaccine: CD34 Stem Cell Selection Therapy). The CliniMacs (PLUS) Reagent System will be used to remove T-cells from the peripheral blood stem cell transplant in order to decrease the risk of acute and chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD).

Conditions
Conditions usually refer to a disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury. In ClinicalTrials.gov,
conditions include any health issue worth studying, such as lifespan, quality of life, health risks, etc.
Interventions
Interventions refer to the drug, vaccine, procedure, device, or other potential treatment being studied.
Interventions can also include less intrusive possibilities such as surveys, education, and interviews.
Study Phase
Most clinical trials are designated as phase 1, 2, 3, or 4, based on the type of questions
that study is seeking to answer:
In Phase 1 (Phase I) clinical trials, researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people (20-80) for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
In Phase 2 (Phase II) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people (100-300) to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
In Phase 3 (Phase III) clinical trials, the study drug or treatment is given to large groups of people (1,000-3,000) to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
In Phase 4 (Phase IV) clinical trials, post marketing studies delineate additional information including the drug's risks, benefits, and optimal use.
These phases are defined by the Food and Drug Administration in the Code of Federal Regulations.
