About this study
This clinical trial will test a type of hematopoietic (blood-making) cell transplant in children and young adults with certain high-risk cancers that are hard to treat. A hematopoietic cell transplant is also known as a bone marrow transplant or stem cell transplant.
This type of transplant replaces damaged or destroyed blood and bone marrow cells with healthy ones from another person. The person who gives you the healthy cells is called a donor.
When patients require a bone marrow transplant, the first type of donor to be considered is a matched sibling (brother or sister) donor. For patients who have no matched siblings, a matched unrelated volunteer donor is looked at next. If you have no matched unrelated donor, or if the donor is not available, a partially matched family member donor, such as a parent, sibling, aunt or uncle may be considered.
This study is for patients who do not have a suitable donor match. In this clinical trial, your donor will be a partially matched family member.
