HLA-Haploidentical Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation for Treatment of Non-Malignant Diseases Using Nonmyeloablative Conditioning and Post-Transplant Cyclophosphamide
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) offers curative therapy for patients with non-malignant diseases, including primary immunodeficiencies, bone marrow failure syndromes, hemophagocytic disorders, metabolic disorders and hemoglobinopathies. Historically, myeloablative regimens have been used; however, this has been associated with increased risk for morbidity and mortality due to comorbidities as a result of their underlying disease. Therefore, less intense regimens are required.
