This research study is investigating whether alpha beta T-cell depleted hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) can be an immune system replacement for Crohn disease patients and whether this is safe and effective for patients with early onset, medically refractory Crohn disease.
This is a single center, non-randomized, non-controlled open-label Phase 1b/2a trial to study the safety and efficacy of performing TCRαβ+ T-cell/CD19+ B-cell depleted (TCRαβ-depleted) HSCT to induce immune tolerance in patients with monogenic or early onset, medically refractory Crohn disease to re-establish normal immune-intestinal homeostasis.

CliniMACS® TCRαβ-Biotin and CD19 Systems will be used to create the mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) from allogeneic donors depleted of TCRαβ+ T cells and CD19+ B cells to be infused into the patient for the HSCT. The target dose for the number of CD34+ HSC infused is \> 10 x 10\^6 cells/Kg recipient weight. The minimum dose is 2 x 10\^6 cells/Kg. There is no upper limit to the dose of CD34+ HSC infused as long as no more than 1 x 10\^5 TCRαβ+ T-cells/Kg are infused. The target dose of TCRαβ+ T cells/Kg is \< 0.50 x 10\^5.
