Summary

"This trial is testing a new treatment approach for severe aplastic anemia, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, acquired pure red cell aplasia, or acquired amegakaryocytic

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with severe bone marrow failure conditions like aplastic anemia or paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria. Participants must have specific blood and bone marrow characteristics, such as low reticulocyte count or evidence of one to three-lineage aplasia, and adequate organ function. Those who've had a previous transplant that didn't work may also qualify.
What is being tested?
The study tests a less intense cell transplant method combined with post-transplant cyclophosphamide medication in patients with certain bone marrow failures. It includes individualized dosing based on pharmacokinetics and varying radiation doses by age and disease features.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions to medications like Rituximab or Cyclophosphamide (e.g., nausea, hair loss), complications from total body irradiation (e.g., fatigue, skin changes), and risks associated with stem cell infusion (e.g., infection risk).

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Arm B: Clonal hematopoiesisExperimental Treatment9 Interventions
Participants 25-75 years old and/or with clonal hematopoiesis. Active study treatment includes the conditioning regimen followed by the stem cell infusion and GvHD prophylaxis through day +180. Supportive care and follow up activities continue through two years post HCT.
Group II: Arm A: No clonal hematopoiesisExperimental Treatment9 Interventions
Participants 25 years of age and younger with no clonal hematopoiesis. Active study treatment includes the conditioning regimen followed by the stem cell infusion and GvHD prophylaxis through day +180. Supportive care and follow up activities continue through two years post HCT.
