OBJECTIVES:

I. Compare outcome, including graft failure, graft versus host disease, and survival of
HLA-identical sibling bone marrow transplants for aplastic anemia using cyclophosphamide with
or without antithymocyte globulin as a conditioning regimen.

PROTOCOL OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are randomized to receive
cyclophosphamide IV over 60 minutes on days -5 to -2 with or without antithymocyte globulin
IV over 4 hours.

All patients then receive bone marrow over 60-120 minutes on day 0, 36 hours after the last
dose of cyclophosphamide.

Patients are followed at day 100, at 6 months, and at 1 year posttransplant.

PROTOCOL ENTRY CRITERIA:

--Disease Characteristics--

Severe aplastic anemia with the following criteria:

Hypocellular bone marrow with cellularity less than 20%

At least 2 of the following hematologic abnormalities:

- Neutrophil count no greater than 500/mm3

- Platelet count no greater than 20,000/mm3

- Reticulocyte count no greater than 50,000/mm3

HLA-identical sibling donor available

No clonal cytogenetic abnormalities, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, or
myelodysplastic syndrome within 3 months of diagnosis of aplastic anemia

No congenital or constitutional aplastic anemia or Fanconi anemia

--Patient Characteristics--

Hepatic: Bilirubin less than 3 times upper limit of normal (ULN)

Renal: Creatinine less than 2 times ULN

Cardiovascular: Normal cardiac function

Other:

- No uncontrolled infection

- No severe concurrent disease

- HIV negative

- Fertile patients must use effective contraception
