简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of allogeneic transplant after a reduced-intensity preparative regimen for patient, to evaluate survival, and to evaluate the side effects of this treatment. The patient will be in the study for two years for treatment and active monitoring. After treatment and active monitoring are over, the patient's medical condition will be followed indefinitely.
详细描述
Aplastic Anemia is a blood disorder where bone marrow does not produce enough cells for blood. Patients with aplastic anemia have lower counts of all three blood cell types (RBC, WBC, and Platelet). Severe cases of aplastic anemia that are untreated can lead to death from bleeding and overwhelming infection.
For patients with Severe Aplastic Anemia (SAA), allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) from an HLA-identical sibling is an accepted treatment for restoring normal bone marrow function. Preparative regimens for allogeneic HSCT are designed to give the highest tolerated doses of chemotherapy, with or without total body irradiation (TBI), in order to fully "ablate" or destroy the patient host's bone marrow so that the transplanted cells from the HLA-identical sibling can engraft in the patient host.
While allogeneic HSCT has been proven to be a curative form of therapy for SAA, it is also associated with high transplant-related morbidity (side effects) and possible mortality (death). One of the toxic side effects from high-dose chemotherapy and TBI are believed to be a major contributing factor to "Graft-versus-Host Disease" (GVHD).
Preliminary studies have shown that a reduced intensity (non-myeloablative) allogeneic HSCT may be just as effective in treating SAA. Low-dose chemotherapy is used instead of high-dose chemotherapy and TBI. Some smaller studies have indicated that reduced intensity preparative regimens using Fludarabine and Cyclophosphamide allowed engraftment in the matched sibling donor setting with an acceptable level of toxic side effects in subjects with a variety of hematologic cancers. Additional studies that followed showed that a reduced intensity preparative regimen that included fludarabine, cyclophosphamide and antithymocyte globulin, allowed engraftment of donor stem cells in subjects with SAA with acceptable engraftment rates and a decrease in the severity of GVHD.
This study is designed to evaluate the effectiveness of allogeneic transplant after a reduced-intensity preparative regimen, to evaluate survival, and to evaluate the side effects including GVHD of this treatment. Patients will be in the study for two years for treatment and active monitoring. All patients will be followed until death.

研究组 & 干预措施
Reduced-Intensity Preparative Regimen for Allogeneic SCT
Patient in this arm will receive maximally tolerated (reduced) doses of cytotoxic therapy with the goals of suppressing the immune system, and ablate host hematopoiesis to ensure engraftment of the donor's hematopoietic system.
干预措施: Cyclophosphamide, Fludarabine, Rabbit ATG (Drug)
