Eligibility Criteria Checklist
Specific guidelines that determine who can or cannot participate in a clinical trial
Must have
Available 10/10 or 9/10 HLA-matched related or unrelated donor or a haploidentical related donor.
Creatinine: Subjects: less than or equal to 2.0 mg/dl or creatinine clearance greater than or equal to 30 ml/min/1.73 m^2. Pediatric subjects (<18 years old): Creatinine less than or equal to 1.5 mg/dl or a creatinine clearance of greater than or equal to 30 mL/min/1.73 m^2.
Must not have
Sexually active individuals capable of becoming pregnant who are unable or unwilling to use effective form(s) of contraception during time enrolled on study and for 1 year post-transplant. Effective forms of contraception include one or more of the following: intrauterine device (IUD), hormonal (birth control pills, injections, or implants), tubal ligation/hysterectomy, partner s vasectomy, barrier methods, (condom, diaphragm, or cervical cap), or abstinence. Males on the protocol must use an effective form of contraception at study entry, and for one year post-transplant. The effects of transplant, the radiation, and the medications used after transplant may be harmful to a fetus.
No available 10/10 or 9/10 HLA-matched related or unrelated donor or haploidentical related donor.

Summary

This trial is evaluating the efficacy and safety of transplant from different donor sources for DOCK8 deficiency.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals aged 4-35 with confirmed DOCK8 deficiency, who've had life-threatening infections or viral-related cancers and have a suitable stem cell donor. Donors must be healthy, matched to the recipient, and aged 2-60. Participants need functioning hearts (with specific ejection fraction criteria), adequate kidney function, normal liver tests, and must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
What is being tested?
The study tests whether bone marrow cells from different donors can treat DOCK8 deficiency. Recipients will undergo chemotherapy with busulfan and fludarabine (or cyclophosphamide added for certain matches) plus radiation in some cases to prepare for transplant. Post-transplant care includes more chemo and drugs to prevent graft versus host disease.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions to chemotherapy such as nausea, fatigue, hair loss; risks from radiation like skin irritation; complications from stem cell infusion; immune system suppression leading to infection risk; graft versus host disease where donor cells attack the patient's body.
