Ruxolitinib-Enhanced Conditioning for Pediatric and Young Adult Patients With Symptomatic Sickle Cell Disease Undergoing Haploidentical Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation
Arkansas Children's Hospital Research Institute
Summary
This trial will determine whether adding ruxolitinib to a reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen reduces the rate of graft failure following haploidentical (haplo) hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) for children and young adults with sickle cell disease (SCD). This study will enroll and treat up to 24 participants. Recruitment is expected to last for about 2 years and participants will be followed for an additional 2 years post-HCT.
Description
While haplo HCT following a RIC regimen cures most patients with SCD, graft failure (GF) can occur and result in return of SCD. GF occurs more often in pediatric SCD patients and can be associated with significant morbidity and/or mortality. Development of strategies which reduce the risk of GF is needed to further improve haplo HCT outcomes for SCD, particularly in pediatric patients. This trial hopes to demonstrate that addition of ruxolitinib to a RIC regimen will reduce the incidence of GF without increasing conditioning-related toxicities. The RUX-HAPLO study is a Phase 1/2 single-arm, m…
