Investigation of the Genetics of Hematologic Diseases
Bone Marrow Failure SyndromesErythrocyte Disorder11 moreThe purpose of this study is to collect and store samples and health information for current and future research to learn more about the causes and treatment of blood diseases. This is not a therapeutic or diagnostic protocol for clinical purposes. Blood, bone marrow, hair follicles, nail clippings, urine, saliva and buccal swabs, left over tissue, as well as health information will be used to study and learn about blood diseases by using genetic and/or genomic research. In general, genetic research studies specific genes of an individual; genomic research studies the complete genetic makeup of an individual. It is not known why many people have blood diseases, because not all genes causing these diseases have been found. It is also not known why some people with the same disease are sicker than others, but this may be related to their genes. By studying the genomes in individuals with blood diseases and their family members, the investigators hope to learn more about how diseases develop and respond to treatment which may provide new and better ways to diagnose and treat blood diseases. Primary Objective: Establish a repository of DNA and cryopreserved blood cells with linked clinical information from individuals with non-malignant blood diseases and biologically-related family members, in conjunction with the existing St. Jude biorepository, to conduct genomic and functional studies to facilitate secondary objectives. Secondary Objectives: Utilize next generation genomic sequencing technologies to Identify novel genetic alternations that associate with disease status in individuals with unexplained non-malignant blood diseases. Use genomic approaches to identify modifier genes in individuals with defined monogenic non-malignant blood diseases. Use genomic approaches to identify genetic variants associated with treatment outcomes and toxicities for individuals with non-malignant blood disease. Use single cell genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics to investigate biomarkers for disease progression, sickle cell disease (SCD) pain events and the long-term cellular and molecular effects of hydroxyurea therapy. Using longitudinal assessment of clinical and genetic, study the long-term outcomes and evolving genetic changes in non-malignant blood diseases. Exploratory Objectives Determine whether analysis of select patient-derived bone marrow hematopoietic progenitor/stem (HSPC) cells or induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells can recapitulate genotype-phenotype relationships and provide insight into disease mechanisms. Determine whether analysis of circulating mature blood cells and their progenitors from selected patients with suspected or proven genetic hematological disorders can recapitulate genotype-phenotype relationships and provide insight into disease mechanisms.

Alpha/Beta T-cell Depleted Blood-forming Stem Cell Transplant From Related or Unrelated Donors for...
Blood DiseaseThis single institution, phase I clinical trial will determine the safety and feasibility of employing T-cell receptor (TCR) αβ+ and CD19+ (Cluster of Differentiation ) depleted hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) using peripheral blood stem cells (PBMC) from closely matched unrelated donors or haploidentical donors to treat non-malignant hematologic diseases in children and young adults. Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation has become a curative option for children and adolescents with a variety of otherwise fatal conditions. To reduce the incidence and severity of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) associated with allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, donor grafts are depleted of T cells, either using CD34+ selection or CD3+/CD19+ depletion of grafts. However, these selection processes also deplete the graft of protective cell subsets, such as γδ T cells, natural killer(NK) cells, monocytes and dendritic cells, which play important roles in the immune response to infectious agents. Moreover, the presence of NK cells and γδ T in donor grafts is associated with more rapid immune reconstitution after HSCT transplantation. In order to retain these protective immune cell subsets, this trial will use a novel, highly selective graft engineering process using the Miltenyi CliniMACS system that selectively depletes αβ-T cells and B cells which are responsible for GVHD and Epstein Barr Virus (EBV)-related post-transplantation lymphoproliferative disorder, respectively. Prior to transplantation, patients will be treated with a conditioning regimen, specific for the original disorder. The primary objective of this study is evaluation of the safety and feasibility of HSCT using TCRαβ+/CD19+ depleted hematopoietic stem cells to treat non-malignant hematologic diseases. This will be assessed by evaluating the incidence of graft failure, grade III-IV acute GVHD and chronic GVHD and TRM. Secondary objectives include the evaluation of immune reconstitution and incidence of post-transplant infections, adverse events, serious adverse events, overall and disease-free survival and the efficiency of graft processing by the CliniMACS System.

Sequential Conditioning in Haploidentical Transplantation for Hematopoietic Stem Cells in Patients...
Refractory or Relapsed Lymphoid HaemopathyAllogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) is the only treatment option with a significant chance of healing in lymphoid hematological refractory or multiple relapses after chemotherapy. However, all patients with an indication of allo-HSC can not benefit because of two limitations: the toxicity of the treatment and graft shortage available. For patients refractory or in relapses with an indication of allo-HSC, used the combinaison of an SET followed by the reduced-intensity allo-HSC (RIC) has shown some interesting results. A post-transplant immune modulation with prophylactic injections of donor lymphocytes (PDLI) showed its effectiveness to decrease the risk of relapse while having a lower toxicity than chemotherapy

Biomarker Verification in Pediatric Chronic GvHD: ABLE 2.0 / PTCTC GVH 1901 Study
Chronic Graft-versus-Host-DiseaseLeukemia3 moreThis study will validate a previously developed pediatric prognostic biomarker algorithm aimed at improving prediction of risk for the later development of chronic graft-versus-host disease (cGvHD) in children and young adults undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. By developing an early risk stratification of patients into low-, intermediate-, and high-risk for future cGvHD development (based upon their biomarker profile, before the onset of cGvHD), pre-emptive therapies aimed at preventing the onset of cGvHD can be developed based upon an individual's biological risk profile. This study will also continue research into diagnostic biomarkers of cGvHD, and begin work into biomarker models that predict clinical response to cGvHD therapies.
