CSIDE Trial Summary

This trial is studying a new way to do stem cell transplants in babies with certain types of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID).

Who is the study for?
This trial is for babies aged 0-2 years with Severe Combined Immunodeficiency (SCID), including typical SCID, leaky SCID, or Omenn syndrome. They should have specific immune cell counts and gene mutations related to SCID. Babies must not have serious infections at enrollment and need a suitable unrelated or half-matched related donor for stem cell transplant.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests whether low or medium doses of busulfan chemotherapy can help infants with SCID develop immunity after a stem cell transplant from an unrelated or half-matched donor. The transplanted cells undergo special processing to reduce the risk of graft-versus-host disease.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Busulfan may cause side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, mouth sores, hair loss, liver problems, lung issues (difficulty breathing), seizures in high doses and increased risk of future cancers. TCRαβ+/CD19+ depletion's side effects are less known but could include infection risks.

CSIDE Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Medium Dose BusulfanExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Busulfan based preparative regimen targeted at area-under-the-curve (cAUC) exposure of 55-65 mg*h/L. Randomization between the two dose levels will be done separately in each genotype stratum (RAG1/RAG2 and IL2RG/JAK3), using permuted blocks.
Group II: Low Dose BusulfanExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Busulfan based preparative regimen targeted at area-under-the-curve (cAUC) exposure of 25-35 mg*h/L . Randomization between the two dose levels will be done separately in each genotype stratum (RAG1/RAG2 and IL2RG/JAK3), using permuted blocks.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Could I be a test subject for this research?

"Eligible patients for this research must have the diagnosis of scid and be between 0 and 2 years old. The aim is to enroll a total of 64 individuals."

Answered by AI

What is the scientific research history of Busulfan?

"There are one hundred and four clinical trials currently underway concerning the efficacy of Busulfan. Thirteen of those live trials are in their third phase. The majority of these trials are based out of Philadelphia, although there are one thousand and seventy-two locations running some form of trial for this medication."

Answered by AI

Are geriatric patients being included in this research?

"Based on the age parameters set by the researchers conducting this study, 0 is the minimum age for enrollment while 2 years old is the maximum age."

Answered by AI

How many men and women are participating in this experiment?

"Indeed, the listing on clinicaltrials.gov shows that this trial is open for enrollment. This particular study was originally posted on October 22nd, 2018 and was last updated on March 2nd, 2022. They are looking to enroll a total of 64 patients at 41 different locations."

Answered by AI

How does the toxicity profile of Busulfan compare to other treatments?

"Although there is some evidence pointing to its safety, Busulfan's lack of efficacy data leaves it with a score of 2."

Answered by AI

What disease does Busulfan usually target?

"Busulfan is commonly used to treat chronic myelogenous leukemia and can also be useful in ameliorating conditions such as thrombocythemia, essential, polycythemia vera (pv), and for conditioning regimens prior to allogeneic stem cell transplantation therapy."

Answered by AI

Are there any patients you are still looking for to complete this research project?

"That is accurate. The information available on clinicaltrials.gov suggests that this trial is still recruiting patients. This study was originally posted on October 22, 2018 and the most recent update was March 2, 2022. A total of 64 individuals are being sought for this trial across 41 locations."

Answered by AI

What is the total number of hospitals participating in this clinical trial?

"Out of the 41 sites that are enrolling patients for this trial, there may be one near you. To minimize travel difficulties, it is best to select a location close to where you live. Some notable locations include Washington, Gainesville and New Orleans."
