NCT07408583
The investigators aim to evaluate the safety and efficacy of in utero hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (IUHSCT) for the treatment of fetuses diagnosed with Fanconi anemia (FA) during pregnancy.
NCT06731036
Allogeneic stem cell transplantation (alloSCT) is utilized for various underlying diseases. AlloSCT is limited by graft versus host disease (GVHD), graft rejection, viral infections, and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorders. To mitigate graft versus host disease, graft manipulation has been taking place with CD34+ selection to decrease T-cells entering into the patient, thus lowering the risk of GVHD. Historically CD34+ manipulation has been performed under a humanitarian use device by utilizing the Miltenyi CliniMACs CD34 Reagent System. This was used for patients with AML in first remission. This approach has additionally been used for patients with sickle cell disease, immune deficiencies, and poor graft function with excellent efficiency. The purpose of this protocol is to create expanded access of CD34+ manipulation for various underlying diseases utilizing the Miltenyi CliniMACS Prodigy® device.

NOTE: This is a research study and is not meant to be a substitute for clinical genetic testing. Families may never receive results from the study or may receive results many years from the time they enroll. If you are interested in clinical testing please consider seeing a local genetic counselor or other genetics professional. If you have already had clinical genetic testing and meet eligibility criteria for this study as shown in the Eligibility Section, you may enroll regardless of the results of your clinical genetic testing. While it is well recognized that hereditary factors contribute to the development of a subset of human cancers, the cause for many cancers remains unknown. The application of next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies has expanded knowledge in the field of hereditary cancer predisposition. Currently, more than 100 cancer predisposing genes have been identified, and it is now estimated that approximately 10% of all cancer patients have an underlying genetic predisposition. The purpose of this protocol is to identify novel cancer predisposing genes and/or genetic variants. For this study, the investigators will establish a Data Registry linked to a Repository of biological samples. Health information, blood samples and occasionally leftover tumor samples will be collected from individuals with familial cancer. The investigators will use NGS approaches to find changes in genes that may be important in the development of familial cancer. The information gained from this study may provide new and better ways to diagnose and care for people with hereditary cancer. PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: * Establish a registry of families with clustering of cancer in which clinical data are linked to a repository of cryopreserved blood cells, germline DNA, and tumor tissues from the proband and other family members. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: * Identify novel cancer predisposing genes and/or genetic variants in families with clustering of cancer for which the underlying genetic basis is unknown.
NCT02143830
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the use of lower doses of busulfan and the elimination of cyclosporine will further reduce transplant-related side effects for patients with Fanconi Anemia (FA). Patients will undergo a transplant utilizing mis-matched related or matched unrelated donors following a preparative regimen of busulfan, fludarabine, anti-thymocyte globulin and cyclophosphamide.
NCT03476330
Fanconi anemia (FA) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by progressive bone marrow failure, variable congenital abnormalities and a predisposition to malignancy, particularly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Improved transplant outcomes are modifying the natural history of Fanconi Anemia. Improved transplant survival, no radiation exposure, and almost no GVHD increases the importance of addressing later SCC even further. The investigators hypothesize that quercetin will prevent or delay the development of SCC and associated complications, there by ameliorating or delaying the need for potentially lethal treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy for the same.

NCT06519786
Prospective interventional open-label non-randomized controlled trial to assess safety and efficacy of metformin in treating cytopenia in children and adolescents with Fanconi Anemia.
NCT01331018
This clinical trial will access the toxicity and efficacy of infusion of gene modified cells for patients with Fanconi anemia (FA). Infusion of autologous patient blood stem cells that have been corrected in the laboratory by introduction of the normal gene may improve blood counts in patients with FA.
NCT02065869
This study will evaluate pediatric patients with malignant or non-malignant blood cell disorders who are having a blood stem cell transplant depleted of T cell receptor (TCR) alfa and beta cells that comes from a partially matched family donor. The study will assess whether immune cells, called T cells, from the family donor, that are specially grown in the laboratory and given back to the patient along with the stem cell transplant can help the immune system recover faster after transplant. As a safety measure these T cells have been programmed with a self-destruct switch so that they can be destroyed if they start to react against tissues (Graft versus host disease).
NCT06045052
An open-label, phase II study to assess the efficacy and safety of eltrombopag for the treatment of children and adolescents with Fanconi anemia.
NCT04656171
Fanconi Anemia (FA) is mentioned in children with congenital malformations including kidney, hart and skeletal malformations (absence or abnormal thumb or forearm), and bone marrow failure or myelodysplasia with a progressive onset in childhood or adulthood. No study has focused on microcephaly, a reduction in brain volume, which is present in 20% of children, and its consequences on cognitive and structural level of the brain. Since 2014, Robert-Debré's team has been interested in this functional cognitive and neuroanatomical approach trough a National PHRC. Preliminary results carried out on 12 children show that their intellectual efficiency was in the normal range for age. However, we noticed a significant difference between abilities in comprehension and verbal reasoning corresponding to what is expected for age, and the sensorimotor skills or fine motor praxia significantly reduced. These difficulties, graphically penalizing for these children, are not always explained by a skeletal malformation of the upper limb, suggesting that musculo-tendinous anomalies may be associated. The objectives of our project are: 1) to identify upper limb musculo-tendinous abnormalities and their functional consequences, 2) to determine if these abnormalities could influence the somatosensory representation of the upper limb at the cerebral cortical level. This project should help us to better understand the fine motor disabilities or developmental coordination disorder of these children, which penalize their learning, and provide them with adapted solutions.
NCT00290628
RATIONALE: Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor umbilical cord blood transplant helps stop the growth of cancer and abnormal cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the stem cells from a related or unrelated donor, that do not exactly match the patient's blood, are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow to make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying how well donor umbilical cord blood transplant works in treating patients with hematologic cancer.
NCT00084695
RATIONALE: Umbilical cord blood transplantation may be able to replace immune cells that were destroyed by chemotherapy or radiation therapy. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well umbilical cord blood works as a source of stem cells in treating patients with types of cancer as well as other diseases.
