- A BMFD with a known genetic mutation but not listed above will be eligible for this clinical trial following approval by BMT CTN 1904 ERC
- Patient and/or legal guardian must sign informed consent prior to initiation of conditioning for BMT CTN 1904
- Note: The following patients MUST be reviewed by the BMT CTN 1904 ERC in order to determine if they are eligible for this trial:
- All patients with Shwachman-Diamond syndrome, Diamond Blackfan anemia, congenital sideroblastic anemia, and congenital amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia who have had genetic testing and a genetic mutation responsible for their disease was not identified

- All patients with a BMFD and a known genetic mutation that is not listed above
- All patients with GATA2 mutation and associated marrow failure
- All patients with SAMD9 or SAMD9L disorders
- There may be circumstances where a treating physician will consider a transplant for a patient with a BMFD who does not meet all the criteria listed under "indications for HCT". In these situations, treating physicians may submit their patient to the BMT CTN 1904 ERC for review in order to determine if the patient is eligible for this clinical trial based on additional clinical or laboratory information
- Many patients with BMFD can have bone marrow evaluations that raise concern for possible myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) including but not limited to dysplastic bone marrow evaluations or cytogenetic abnormalities. However, in patients BMFD these findings are not necessarily diagnostic or consistent with MDS. Therefore, given the complexities of diagnosing MDS in patients with BMFD, all patients with bone marrow evaluations concerning for possible MDS should be submitted to the ERC for review to confirm or exclude MDS. This is particularly important as we do not want to exclude potentially eligible patients due to an incorrect diagnosis of MDS

- HLA-MATCHED RELATED DONOR: HLA-matched related (phenotypic match): Fully matched for HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, and DQB1 by high-resolution typing.
- HLA-MATCHED RELATED DONOR: If a genetic mutation is known for the patient, the HLA-matched related donor [either HLA-matched sibling or HLA-matched related (phenotypic match)] must be screened for the same genetic mutation if clinically appropriate and should be confirmed to not have the same genetic disease (this does not include patients with PNH). Consult the protocol team with questions
- HLA-MATCHED RELATED DONOR: If a patient has an undefined BMFD (a patient with a BMFD for whom a genetic mutation responsible for their bone marrow failure phenotype has not been identified), the HLA-matched related donor [either HLA-matched sibling or HLA-matched related (phenotypic match)] must have an evaluation as directed by the treating physician to confirm that the donor does not have the same underlying disease. This will include a complete blood count (CBC) with differential and potentially a bone marrow evaluation or other studies as directed by the treating physician
- UNRELATED DONOR: Fully matched for HLA-A, -B, -C, -DRB1, and DQB1 by high-resolution typing OR
- UNRELATED DONOR: Mismatched for a single HLA-class 1 allele (HLA-A, -B, or -C) by high-resolution typing; OR
- UNRELATED DONOR: Mismatched for a single HLA DQB1 allele or antigen by high-resolution typing
- Note: donor patient (DP) matching per institutional practice

About this study
Official title: Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Using Treosulfan-Based Conditioning for the Treatment of Bone Marrow Failure Diseases
This phase II trial tests whether treosulfan, fludarabine, and rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rATG) work when given before a blood or bone marrow transplant (conditioning regimen) to cause fewer complications for patients with bone marrow failure diseases. Chemotherapy drugs, such as treosulfan, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Fludarabine may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. rATG is used to decrease the body's immune response and may improve bone marrow function and increase blood cell counts. Adding treosulfan to a conditioning regimen with fludarabine and rATG may result in patients having less severe complications after a blood or bone marrow transplant.
Read the detailed description
OUTLINE:
CONDITIONING REGIMEN: Patients receive treosulfan intravenously (IV) over 120 minutes on days -6 to -4, fludarabine phosphate IV over 60 minutes on days -6 to -2, and lapine T-lymphocyte immune globulin (rATG) IV over 4-6 hours on days -4 to -2.
TRANSPLANTATION: Patients undergo bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplant on day 0.
GVHD PROPHYLAXIS: Patients receive tacrolimus IV continuously beginning on day -2 and a taper beginning on day 180. Patients may also receive tacrolimus orally (PO). Patients also receive methotrexate IV on days 1, 3, 6, and 11.
Patients undergo echocardiography (ECHO) or multigated acquisition scan (MUGA) as well as possible chest radiography (x-ray) or computed tomography (CT) at baseline and undergo bone marrow biopsy and aspiration at baseline and follow up. Patients also undergo blood sample collection throughout the trial.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1 year from transplant.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Graft-Versus Host-Disease (GVHD)-Free Event-Free Survival (EFS)
The primary endpoint is the incidence of 1-year GVHD free, EFS (GEFS). An event is defined as death due to any cause, primary or secondary graft failure/rejection, or 2nd HCT whichever occurs first. Grade III-IV acute GVHD and chronic GVHD (using National Institutes of Health [NIH] consensus criteria) requiring systemic immune suppression will be considered in this estimate.
Measured: 1 year post-HCT
Secondary outcomes (20)
Overall Survival
Overall survival at day 100 after HCT
Measured: Day 100 post-HCT
Overall Survival
Overall survival at 6 months after HCT
Measured: 6 months post-HCT
Overall Survival
Overall survival at 1 year after HCT
Measured: 1 year post-HCT
Event-Free Survival
Event-free survival will be estimated at 12 months after HCT. An event is defined as death due to any cause, primary or secondary graft failure/rejection, or 2nd HCT, whichever occurs first
Measured: 1 year post-HCT
Hematologic Recovery: Neutrophil recovery
Hematologic recovery will be assessed according to neutrophil recovery after transplant. Neutrophil recovery is defined as achieving an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ to 500/mm3 for 3 consecutive measurements on 3 different days. The first of the three days will be designated the day of neutrophil recovery. The competing event is death without neutrophil recovery.
Measured: Assessed up to 1 year post-HCT
Hematologic Recovery: Platelet recovery
Hematologic recovery will be assessed according to platelet counts recovery after transplant. Platelet recovery is defined as the first day of a minimum of 3 days that the patient has a sustained platelet count ≥ 20,000/mm3 with no platelet transfusions in the preceding 7 days. The first day of sustained platelet count above these thresholds will be designated the day of platelet engraftment.
Measured: Day 100 post-HCT
Donor Chimerism (CD3 and Myeloid)
Proportions of patients with full (>95%), mixed (5-95%), or rejection (<5%) myeloid
Measured: Day 28 post-HCT
Donor Chimerism (CD3 and Myeloid)

Measured: Day 100 post-HCT
Donor Chimerism (CD3 and Myeloid)
Proportions of patients with full (>95%), mixed (5-95%), or rejection (<5%) myeloid
Measured: 1 year post-HCT
Primary graft failure/rejection
Defined as never achieving ANC ≥ 500/μL or never achieving ≥ 5% donor myeloid chimerism assessed by peripheral blood chimerism assays by day +42 post-HCT. Second infusion of hematopoietic cells is also considered indicative of primary graft failure by day +42 post-HCT
Measured: Day 42 post-HCT
Secondary graft failure/rejection post-HCT
Defined as < 5% donor myeloid chimerism in peripheral blood beyond day +42 post-HCT in patients with prior documentation of hematopoietic recovery with ≥ 5% donor cells by day +42 post-HCT. Second infusion of hematopoietic cells is also considered indicative of secondary graft failure.
Measured: Assessed up to 1 year post-HCT
Grade II-IV and grade III-IV GVHD at day 100
The cumulative incidences of acute grade II-IV and III-IV GVHD at day 100 after HCT will be determined.
Measured: Day 100 post-HCT
Grade II-IV and grade III-IV GVHD at day 180
The cumulative incidences of acute grade II-IV and III-IV GVHD at day 100 after HCT will be determined.
Measured: Day 180 post-HCT
Chronic GVHD
The cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD (using NIH consensus criteria) requiring systemic immune suppression at 1 year after HCT will be determined. Data will be collected directly from providers and chart review as defined by the NIH Consensus Conference Criteria
Measured: 1 year post-HCT
Incidence of grade 3-5 toxicities

OUTLINE:
CONDITIONING REGIMEN: Patients receive treosulfan intravenously (IV) over 120 minutes on days -6 to -4, fludarabine phosphate IV over 60 minutes on days -6 to -2, and lapine T-lymphocyte immune globulin (rATG) IV over 4-6 hours on days -4 to -2.
TRANSPLANTATION: Patients undergo bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplant on day 0.
GVHD PROPHYLAXIS: Patients receive tacrolimus IV continuously beginning on day -2 and a taper beginning on day 180. Patients may also receive tacrolimus orally (PO). Patients also receive methotrexate IV on days 1, 3, 6, and 11.
Patients undergo echocardiography (ECHO) or multigated acquisition scan (MUGA) as well as possible chest radiography (x-ray) or computed tomography (CT) at baseline and undergo bone marrow biopsy and aspiration at baseline and follow up. Patients also undergo blood sample collection throughout the trial.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 1 year from transplant.

Primary outcome
Graft-Versus Host-Disease (GVHD)-Free Event-Free Survival (EFS)
Time frame: 1 year post-HCT
The primary endpoint is the incidence of 1-year GVHD free, EFS (GEFS). An event is defined as death due to any cause, primary or secondary graft failure/rejection, or 2nd HCT whichever occurs first. Grade III-IV acute GVHD and chronic GVHD (using National Institutes of Health [NIH] consensus criteria) requiring systemic immune suppression will be considered in this estimate.

What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing Treosulfan, Fludarabine Phosphate and Tacrolimus in people with Bone Marrow Failure Syndrome and Congenital Amegakaryocytic Thrombocytopenia, run by Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center at 24 sites in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 101 inclusion and 29 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Mar 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 24 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Graft-Versus Host-Disease (GVHD)-Free Event-Free Survival (EFS) (time frame: 1 year post-HCT). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Mar 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
