Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
The primary goal of this multi-center Phase II study is to determine the safety and feasibility of a conditioning regimen consisting of busulfan (Bu)/ fludarabine (Flu)/ anti-thymocyte globulin (ATG) in adult patients with severe SCD. A two-component design will be used for this study. The first component will be restricted to patients who have an HLA-identical sibling donor. Five patients will be transplanted during the first component of the study. If no more than 2 of the first 5 patients experience unacceptable toxicity, including death, within the first six months after transplantation, then the safety of the regimen will be considered promising in adult SCD patients.
The second component will include patients who have a related or an unrelated human leukocyte antigen (HLA) matched donor. Up to 15 additional patients will be transplanted in this component of the study which will evaluate the safety and feasibility of unrelated donor hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in adults with SCD. Data related to study endpoints for 1 year after transplantation will be collected; however, participating centers will be encouraged to conduct long-term follow-up evaluations of patients according to standard institutional guidelines. The purpose of this pilot safety trial is to see if this approach is feasible and meets accrual goals lending support to the development of a subsequent full scale investigation of HCT and comparing outcomes in a transplantation cohort to a control cohort of adults eligible for, but unwilling or unable to receive HCT treated by supportive therapy with a primary endpoint of five years survival for this full scale comparative trial.

Up to 15 additional patients will be transplanted in this component of the study which will evaluate the safety and feasibility of unrelated donor hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in adults with SCD.

The primary objective is to determine event-free survival (EFS) at 1 year after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) using bone marrow in patients with sickle cell disease. Death, disease recurrence or graft rejection by 1 year will be considered events for this endpoint.
Secondary objectives include determining the effect of HCT on clinical and laboratory manifestations of severe sickle cell disease and determining the incidence of other transplant-related outcomes.

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
1. Clinically significant neurologic event (stroke) or any neurological deficit lasting \> 24 hours
2. History of two or more episodes of acute chest syndrome (ACS) in the 2-year period preceding enrollment despite the institution of supportive care measures (i.e. asthma therapy and/or hydroxyurea). Acute Chest Syndrome (ACS) is defined as new pulmonary alveolar consolidation (or infiltrate) involving at least one complete lung segment associated with acute symptoms including one or more of the following: fever ≥ 38.5 Celsius, chest pain, tachypnea per age adjusted normal, intercostal retractions/nasal flaring/use of accessory muscles of respiration, wheezing, rales or cough that is not attributed to asthma or bronchiolitis.
3. History of three or more severe pain crises per year in the 2-year period preceding enrollment despite the institution of supportive care measures (i.e. a pain management plan and/or treatment with hydroxyurea). Pain Crisis is defined as new onset of pain that last for at least 2 hours for which there is no other explanation (i.e. vaso-occlusive, priapism).
4. Administration of regular red blood cell (RBC) transfusion therapy, defined as receiving 8 or more transfusions per year for greater than or equal to 1 year to prevent vaso-occlusive clinical complications (i.e. pain, stroke, and acute chest syndrome)
5. Trans-thoracic echocardiograph evidence of tricuspid valve regurgitant jet (TRJ) velocity greater than or equal to 2.7 m/sec.
* Adequate physical function as measured by:
1. Karnofsky performance score greater than or equal to 60
2. Cardiac function: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \> 40%; or LV shortening fraction \> 26% by cardiac echocardiogram or by multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan.
3. Pulmonary function: Pulse oximetry with a baseline O2 saturation of greater than or equal to 85% and diffusing capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide (DLCO) \> 40% (corrected for hemoglobin)
4. Renal function: Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 x upper limit of normal for age and 24-hour urine creatinine clearance \> 70 mL/min/1.73 m2 by radionuclide glomerular filtration rate (GFR); or GFR \> 70 mL/min/1.73 m2 by radionuclide GFR.
5. Hepatic function: Serum conjugated (direct) bilirubin \< 2x upper limit of normal for age as per local laboratory; and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) \< 5 times upper limit of normal as per local laboratory. Patients whose hyperbilirubinemia is the result of hyperhemolysis, or a severe drop in hemoglobin post blood transfusion, are not excluded
6. If the patient has been receiving chronic transfusion therapy for greater than or equal to 1 year and has clinical evidence of iron overload by serum ferritin (mean of 3 ferritin levels \>1000 and chronic transfusions \>20 in a lifetime or MRI), evaluation by liver biopsy is required. Histological examination of the liver must document the absence of cirrhosis, bridging fibrosis and active hepatitis. The absence of bridging fibrosis will be determined using the histological grading and staging scale as described by Ishak and colleagues (1995).
* Patients must have a related or unrelated bone marrow donor with HLA-matched at 8 of 8 HLA-A, B, C, and DRB1 loci by allelic testing. Umbilical cord blood or peripheral blood stem cell donors will not be accepted.
Exclusion Criteria
* Patients who have received prior HCT
* Patients who within 3 months of enrollment have participated in another clinical trial in which the patient received an investigational drug or device or off-label use of a drug or device
* Patients who demonstrate lack of compliance with prior medical care
* Patients who are unwilling to use approved contraception for at least 6 months after transplant
* Patients who have a history of substance abuse in the last 5 years that interferes with their care
* Patients who are pregnant or breast feeding
* Patients unable to provide consent
