HLH, HLH-related disorders, Chronic Granulomatous (CGD), HIGM1, Immune dysregulation, polyendocrinopathy, enteropathy, and X-linked inheritance (IPEX) and severe LAD-I represent primary immune disorders that are typically fatal without Hematopoietic Cell Transplant (HCT). However, transplant is often complicated by inflammation, infection and other co-morbidities. In addition, these disorders have been shown to be cured with partial chimerism, making them an ideal target for the use of reduced intensity approaches, where a portion of patients may not achieve full donor chimerism, but instead achieve stable mixed chimerism. Reduced-intensity conditioning strategies have demonstrated improved survival with decreased Treatment Related Mortality (TRM) in institutional series for patients with HLH (Cooper et al., 2006; Marsh et al., 2010; Marsh et al., 2011). However, graft loss and unstable chimerism remain challenges. An institutional case series from Cincinnati Children's Hospital demonstrated full or high-level chimerism and improved durable engraftment using intermediate (Day -14) timing alemtuzumab (Marsh et al., 2013b). This study aims to test the efficacy of the Intermediate RIC strategy in a prospective multi-center study including HLH as well as other primary immunodeficiencies where allogeneic transplant with RIC has been shown to be feasible and stable chimerism is curative.
The primary goal of this Phase II clinical trial is to determine the one-year overall survival of patients treated for immune deficiencies including HLH, HLH-like disorders, CGD, HIGM1, IPEX syndrome, and severe LAD-I with Matched Related Donor (MRD)/ Matched Unrelated Donor (MUD) bone marrow transplant using a reduced-intensity conditioning strategy including intermediate-timing of alemtuzumab. The donor choice is an unaffected related bone marrow donor who is a 6/6 match at HLA-A, -B (intermediate or higher resolution) and -DRB1 (at high resolution using DNA-based typing) OR a 7/8 or 8/8 match for human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-A, -B, -C and -DRB1 (at high resolution using DNA-based typing), OR an unrelated bone marrow donor who is a 7/8 or 8/8 match at HLA-A, -B, -C and -DRB1 (at high resolution using DNA-based typing). The transplant conditioning regimen will include fludarabine, melphalan, and alemtuzumab starting at Day -14 (Flu/Mel/Alem). Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) prophylaxis will consist of cyclosporine and corticosteroids through engraftment. Post-transplant supportive care will include infection surveillance and prophylaxis, and disease-specific supportive care.

Percentage of Participants With Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival is defined as survival of death from any cause.
Time frame: 1 year and 18 months post-transplant

Overall survival is defined as survival of death from any cause.
Time frame: 1 year and 18 months post-transplant
Percentage of HLH Participants With HLH Reactivation Post-Transplant
Systemic HLH Reactivation: Post-transplant HLH reactivation is defined by clinical and lab evidence of pathologic inflammation (persistent fever, progressive cytopenias, rising ferritin and soluble IL2Rα, decreasing fibrinogen, hepatosplenomegaly, end-organ damage) not attributable to other causes. Central nervous system (CNS) HLH Reactivation: Reactivation of CNS inflammation in patients with HLH may present with or without altered mental status and is defined by pleocytosis in Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) or an MRI consistent with CNS inflammation not attributable to other causes.
Time frame: 1 year post-transplant
Percentage of Participants With Neutrophil Engraftment
Time to absolute neutrophil count (ANC) engraftment is defined as the first of three measurements on different days that the patient has an absolute neutrophil count of ≥ 500x10\^6/liter following conditioning regimen induced nadir.
Time frame: Day 42 post-transplant
Percentage of Participants With Platelet Engraftment
Platelet engraftment is defined as the first day of a minimum of three measurements on different days that the patient has achieved a platelet count \> 20,000 / microliter AND the patient is platelet transfusion independent for a minimum of seven days following conditioning regimen induced nadir.
Time frame: Day 100 post-transplant
Percentage of Participants Alive With Sustained Engraftment
Sustained engraftment is defined as the occurrence of whole blood donor chimerism \> 5% by Day 42 accompanied by the absence of any primary or secondary graft failure.
