About this study
This is a study of patients with sickle cell disease. It aims to find out if people with sickle cell disease can be cured by changing their immune system before they have blood stem cell transplants. Doctors will give patients a new drug (fludarabine) to see if this drug changes patients immune system and reduces the patient's cells (host) from rejecting donor cells (graft) after the patient gets a Hematopoietic (blood) stem cell transplant.
Read the detailed description
Primary Objective
- To evaluate the safety and feasibility of hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) after treatment with fludarabine in adult patients with Sickle Cell Disease (SCD).
Secondary Objective(s), in HSCT for SCD
- To evaluate the rates of disease-free and overall survival in both MSD and alternate graft donor (MUD, haploidentical, or cord blood-derived) recipients
- To evaluate fertility in matched sibling and alternate-donor graft recipients
- To evaluate GVHD rates in MSD and Alternate Graft Donor recipients in SCD.
- To evaluate cerebral, pulmonary, renal, and generalized vasculopathy before and after HSCT in SCD.
- To evaluate hematopoiesis and erythropoiesis before and before HSCT in SCD.
- Modulation of SCD Phenotype by Allogeneic Transplantation. Rigorous clinical follow-up will be performed, per routine care, to evaluate those consequences of SCD that will be modified by allogeneic transplantation in the short-term (4-12 weeks), in the medium-term (12-24 weeks) and in the long-term (>24 weeks). Short-term changes would include disappearance of stress hematopoiesis and erythropoiesis; medium- and long-term changes would include effects on pain, fertility (TSH, LH), cognition (routine cognitive assessments), and end-organ damage (including urine albumin-to-creatinine ratios and tricuspid regurgitant jet velocities, as indicated).
Procedures:
The study will start with at least 10 and up to 25 patients. They will be given the lowest starting dose of fludarabine. This is done to make sure it is safe. Researchers will watch the patients during what is called the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) period. Their safety will be monitored by a Safety Monitoring Committee, which is made up of people who run research studies. The study will not take new patients until the DLT period is done.
If at least 3 of the 10 patients enrolled do not benefit, the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) will be considered exceeded. After the DLT period is complete, patients will receive a stem cell transplant from a genetically matched donor. Patients will be continued to be monitored for a year after the transplant.
To prepare for the transplant patients will have to undergo the following treatments:
- an exchange transfusion
- a stem cell graft infusion from either a:
- perfectly matched sibling donor (called MSD),
- perfectly matched but unrelated donor (called MUD),
- a half-matched related donor (called Haploidentical), or
- a cord blood donor
- rabbit antithymocyte globulin (ATG)
- cytoxan (a type of chemotherapy)
- Fludarabine (you get this medicine a few weeks before transplant and again, as part of the routine chemotherapy treatment). This is the main drug being studies in this research
- total body irradiation (also called TBI)
- tacrolimus, mycophenolate (MMF) and/or methotrexate (MTX). These drugs will weaken your immune system. They are given to lower your chances of getting GVHD and rejecting the donor cells.
Patients will be in the study for approximately 14 months.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
FludarabineDrug
Also called Fludarabine monophosphate
the study will begin with enrollment of an initial safety cohort of at least 10 subjects at the lowest dose, after which enrollment will pause until the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) period has been completed. If a patient experiences DLT, defined as failure to engraft. In which case, the patient may be advanced to two higher doses.
Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT)Procedure or surgery
Three weeks after Immunomodulation patients will be infused with matched bone marrow from a sibling, unrelated donor, haploidentical donor, or cord blood. Patients will be followed for the following year.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Immunomodulation with Fludarabine prior to HSCT | Experimental | Fludarabine given beginning at 25mgm/m2 three times per day. Patients may be escalated up to 25mgm/m2 five times per day depending on dose-limiting toxicity Receives: Drug: Fludarabine; Procedure: Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) |

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing Fludarabine and Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) in people with Sickle Cell Disease and Sickle Cell Anemia, run by Case Comprehensive Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 42 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Apr 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Probability of Engraftment (time frame: 42 Days after transplant). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Apr 2024.
