What this Trial Is About
Researchers are collecting clinical data from patients with various non-malignant disorders undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using a reduced-intensity chemotherapy-based regimen. This regimen includes alemtuzumab and other drugs and aims to reduce graft failure and help immune system recovery. The study follows patients with conditions like primary immunodeficiency, inherited metabolic disorders, hereditary anemias, and inflammatory diseases to better understand treatment outcomes. Participants will receive one of three types of stem cell transplants: umbilical cord blood, bone marrow, or peripheral blood stem cells. All receive a reduced-intensity conditioning regimen that involves alemtuzumab, melphalan, thiotepa, fludarabine, and hydroxyurea, administered according to the treating physician's guidance at the UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh. This observational study gathers medical data without altering standard care. During the study, researchers will monitor outcomes such as the occurrence of acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) and overall survival for up to five years after transplantation. They will also assess engraftment levels, the timing of immune system recovery, the use of immunosuppressant medications, and donor leukocyte infusions. Medical information will be collected from patients' charts after informed consent, with follow-up extending up to five years to evaluate long-term results.
