Summary

This trial is testing a new, less intense conditioning regimen for HSCT in pediatric patients with SCD, who currently are not eligible for the procedure due to donor restrictions.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children with sickle cell disease aged 1 to less than 19 years who have had complications like pain crises, stroke, or organ damage despite treatment. They must be eligible for a stem cell transplant and have a related donor who doesn't match their blood type.
What is being tested?
The study tests a nonmyeloablative transplant approach using alemtuzumab (an antibody), low-dose total body irradiation, and sirolimus (for immune suppression) in pediatric patients with SCD having ABO-incompatible donors.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions to alemtuzumab such as fever and rash; radiation-related nausea; and sirolimus risks like mouth sores, infections, or problems with kidney function.
