The purpose of this study is to find the smallest amount of the 131 I-apamistamab needed for preparing patients with severe sickle cell disease (SCD) for a bone marrow transplant. This is the first time 131 I-apamistamab is being used for advanced Sickle Cell Disease (SCD) in the setting of allogeneic stem cell transplant. 131 I-apamistamab is an investigational product. This means that 131 I-apamistamab has not been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for medical use in patients. The study treatment that is given before the transplant is called the conditioning regimen. In this study, the investigators are adding a drug called 131 I-apamistamab instead of the conditioning regimen typically given before a stem cell transplant.
The purpose of this study is to find out whether siplizumab is safe and effective for patients with SCD undergoing an allogeneic transplant and to prevent development of Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD) and graft failure. The main goals of this study are : * To determine if acute GVHD occurs and how severe the acute GVHD is in subjects receiving the study drug * To determine if graft failure occurs in subjects receiving the study drugs In this study, participants will receive 5 infusions of the study drug, siplizumab, while getting a stem cell transplant for SCD. Before siplizumab infusion, participants will be given medications to reduce the risks of allergic reaction to the drug.
