Summary

This trial is studying a high-dose chemotherapy regimen followed by an infusion of stem cells from a partially matched adult family member donor in treating patients with sickle cell disease.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for high-risk sickle cell disease patients who've had multiple painful events, adequate organ function, and specific complications like stroke or acute chest syndrome. They need a partially matched family donor and can't be pregnant, breastfeeding, non-compliant with medical care, have significant liver fibrosis/cirrhosis or previous stem cell transplants.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the safety and effectiveness of high-dose chemotherapy followed by an infusion of immune cells from a family member to manage sickle cell disease. It aims to see if this approach offers long-term control over the condition.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions to the transplant such as graft-versus-host disease (where donated cells attack your body), infection risks due to weakened immunity from chemotherapy, and typical chemo-related issues like nausea or fatigue.
