Arm/Group Title Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
Hide Arm/Group Description

Conditioning regimen will be 200 mg/kg of IV cyclophosphamide given in 4 equal fractions on days -5 through -2 with IV mesna. Rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rATG) (Thymoglobulin®) will be dosed at 0.5 mg/kg on day-5, 1.0 mg/kg on days -4 and -3, and then 1.5 mg/kg on days -2 and -1. Methylprednisolone 1000 mg will be infused IV before each dose of rATG. Autologous hematopoietic stem cells (HSCT) will be infused IV on day 0. A granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) 5-10 mcg/kg will be started on day + 5 and continued until neutrophil engraftment. Intravenous Rituxan (500mg) will be administered on days -6 and +1.

HSCT: cells will be collected from blood during mobilization. Then the patient will be given high dose chemotherapy in accordance with approved recommendations for use in conditioning regimens for stem cell transplant in autoimmune diseases. Autologous HSCT is to re-infuse immature cells that can re-establish blood production and patient's immune system.

Cyclophosphamide: Alkylating agent which causes prevention of cell division by forming adducts with DNA Mesna: Medication used to decrease the risk of hemorrhagic cystitis rATG: lymphocyte-specific immunosuppressive agent Methylprednisolone: Steroid G-CSF: Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor; a glycoprotein that stimulates the bone marrow to produce granulocytes and stem cells and release them into the bloodstream Rituxan: Chimeric monoclonal antibody
