Описание
The autologous stem cell transplant used in this research study is an investigational procedure that uses cyclophosphamide (chemotherapy), rabbit antithymocyte globulin (rATG) (a protein that kills the immune cells that are thought to be causing your disease), rituximab (a biologic drug that targets B cells of your immune system), and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) (pooled IgG antibodies from plasma donors with immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects), followed by return of your own previously collected blood stem cells (autologous stem cell transplant). One day of plasmapheresis will also be performed the day prior to admission for stem cell transplant to remove disease-causing antibodies. The ability of this experimental treatment to stop relapses and progression (worsening) of your NMOSD will be assessed.

Experimental: Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Hematopoietic Stem Cell Therapy will be performed as follows: Autologous stem cells will be infused after conditioning with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, mesna, rATG (rabbit), and methylprednisolone. Granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) and intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) will be administered post-transplant. | Drug: Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Monoclonal antibody therapy used to treat certain autoimmune diseases and types of cancer |
