Summary

This trial is testing a new way to prepare for a bone marrow transplant that may be less intense and have fewer side effects.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and young adults under 21 with non-cancerous blood, bone marrow, or metabolic disorders. They must have a matched donor for bone marrow or umbilical cord blood transplant and be in good health otherwise. Pregnant individuals, those with HIV, or active infections cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study tests a new transplant conditioning regimen that uses Campath (an immunosuppressive drug), Fludarabine (a chemotherapy agent), and Melphalan (another chemotherapy) to prepare patients' bodies to accept donor cells without fully destroying their own bone marrow.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include immune system suppression leading to increased infection risk, reactions related to the infusion of drugs, organ inflammation due to strong medications used in the treatment plan, and general symptoms like fatigue.
