Allogeneic Transplantation For Severe Osteopetrosis
Severe Osteopetrosis
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Severe Osteopetrosis focused on measuring osteopetrosis
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Patients eligible for transplantation under this protocol will be < or = 45 years of age, and will be diagnosed with severe osteopetrosis. This will be defined as having the following manifestations of the disease.
- Bones that are uniformly markedly dense based on skeletal survey
- No history that would suggest autosomal dominant inheritance
- Evidence of hematologic changes that are attributed to the underlying disease, including
- the need for ongoing transfusions, OR
- the presence of progressive anemia or thrombocytopenia, OR
- a white blood cell differential with a predominance of immature forms and evidence of extramedullary hematopoiesis, OR
- persistence of serious infectious complications that are thought to be due to the abnormal architecture of the bone that are resistant to surgical and medical interventions.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Patients >45 years of age
- Evidence of hepatic failure
- Pulmonary dysfunction sufficient to significantly increase the risk of transplant.
- Renal dysfunction with glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <30% of predicted.
- Cardiac compromise sufficient to substantially increase the risk of transplantation
- Severe, stable neurologic impairment.
- Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positivity.
- Pregnant or lactating females
