Conditions
Summary
Alemtuzumab is an antibody that reduces the strength of the immune system that is given in preparation for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT). In this research study the investigators want to find out if they can adjust the dose of alemtuzumab used as part of allogeneic HCT to target the level of Day 0 (the planned day of graft infusion) to an optimal therapeutic window of 0.15-0.9 ug/mL.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria2
- Patients who are undergoing allogeneic HCT at CCHMC with an alemtuzumab-containing preparative regimen for treatment of a non-malignant disease are eligible.
- For the first 7 patients, patients must have a 10/10 HLA matched related or unrelated stem cell donor, or be receiving a CD34+ selected stem cell product. After the first 7 patients, any donor match may be allowed after data review by the BMT clinicians and the PI.
Exclusion Criteria10
- Patients with a history of anaphylaxis to alemtuzumab.
- Patients who have previously received alemtuzumab and have not cleared alemtuzumab prior to the start of the preparative regimen.
- Life expectancy less than 4 weeks.
- Patients receiving dialysis or plasmapheresis at the time of the start of the conditioning regimen.
- Failure to sign informed consent and/or assent, or inability to undergo informed consent process.
- It is not medically advisable to obtain the specimens necessary for this study.
- Not able to tolerate subcutaneous dosing (patients with severe skin conditions).
- Patients with cancer.
- Patients whose clinical condition suggest there may be inability to successfully perform the PK modeling such as, but not limited to, active flaring of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis in which excessive lymphoproliferation may significantly alter the target-mediated clearance of alemtuzumab and prevent observation of non-target mediated clearance which is needed for robust modeling.
- Patients whose pre-alemtuzumab level reveals an interfering substance which prevents accurate measurement of alemtuzumab.

Interventions
Alemtuzumab (Campath®) is a recombinant DNA-derived humanized monoclonal antibody directed against CD52. Alemtuzumab is produced in mammalian cell (Chinese hamster ovary) suspension culture in a medium containing neomycin. Neomycin is not detectable in the final product. Alemtuzumab is a sterile, clear, colorless, isotonic pH 6.8-7.4 solution for injection. Alemtuzumab is supplied in single-use clear glass ampules containing 30 mg of Alemtuzumab in 3 mL of solution. A single use vial of alemtuzumab contains 30 mg alemtuzumab, 8 mg sodium chloride, 1.44 mg dibasic sodium phosphate, 0.2 mg potassium chloride, 0.2 mg monobasic potassium phosphate, 0.1 mg polysorbate 80, and 0.0187 mg disodium edetate dihydrate.
