Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant for GATA2 Mutations (NCT01861106)
Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant for Patients With Mutations in GATA2 or the MonoMAC Syndrome
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Background: \- GATA2 deficiency is a disease caused by mutations in the GATA2 gene. It can cause different types of leukemia and other diseases. Researchers want to see if a stem cell transplant can be used to treat this condition. A stem cell transplant will give stem cells from a matching donor (related or unrelated) to a recipient. It will allow the donor stem cells to produce healthy bone marrow and blood cells that will attack the recipient s cancer cells. Objectives: \- To see if stem cell transplants are successful at treating GATA2 mutations and related conditions. Eligibility: \- Recipients who are between 6 and 70 years of age and have GATA2 deficiency. Design: * All participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. Blood samples will be collected. Recipients will have imaging studies and other tests. * Recipients will have chemotherapy or radiation to prepare for the transplant. On the day of the transplant, they will receive the donated stem cells. * Recipients will stay in the hospital until their condition is stable after transplant. * Frequent blood tests and scans will be required for the first 6 months after the transplant, followed by less frequent visits over time.
Who can join: To join this study, participants generally need to meet the listed inclusion criteria (14 items) and avoid the listed exclusions (12 items).

📋 "Do I Qualify?" — 1-Minute Self Screener
Instant ChecklistCheck every box below. If you can check all of them, you may meet the study's basic screening requirements (final eligibility is confirmed by the site team).
Usually NOT eligible if any of the following apply:
- EXCLUSION CRITERIA- Recipient
- Patients who are receiving any other investigational agents with the exception of virus- specific cytotoxic T-cells for the treatment of viral infection/reactivation prior to allo HSCT
- HIV-positive patients are ineligible because these patients are at increased risk of lethal infections when treated with marrow-suppressive therapy. Appropriate studies will be undertaken in patients receiving combination antiretroviral therapy when indicated.
- History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biological composition to agents (steroids, cyclophosphamide, busulfan) used in the study
- Chronic active hepatitis B. Patient may be hepatitis B core antibody positive. For patients with a concomitant positive hepatitis B surface antigen, patients will require a hepatology consultation. The risk-benefit profile of transplant and hepatitis B will be discussed with the patient, and eligibility determined by the PI or Lead Associate Investigator.
- History of psychiatric disorder which may compromise compliance with transplant protocol, or which does not allow for appropriate informed consent.
- Active infection refractory to antimicrobial therapy.
- Active CNS involvement by malignancy (patients with known positive CSF cytology or parenchymal lesions visible by prior CT or MRI).
- Pregnant or lactating.
- The effects on breast-milk are unknown and may be harmful to the infant; therefore, women should not breast feed during the interval from study entry to one year post-transplant.
- Presence of active malignancy in another organ system other than the hematopoietic, except when driven by viruses in which case the immune reconstitution after transplant may control the malignancy. This includes solid tumors not in remission.
- No available 10/10 or 9/10 or 8/10 HLA-matched related or unrelated donor, or haploidentical related donor.
