Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Severity of CRS after stem cell transplant

    30 days

  • Safety of administering early immunosuppression

    6 months

  • Safety of administering early immunosuppression

    1 year

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Availability of a 5/10-8/10 mismatched (HLA-A, B, DR) haploidentical related donor with a negative HLA cross-match in the host vs. graft direction and willing to provide peripheral blood stem cells
  • Karnofsky status \>/= 70%
  • Hematologic malignancy requiring allogeneic transplantation
  • First allogeneic transplant only. Prior autologous transplant is allowed.

You may not qualify if:

  • Poor cardiac function: LVEF \<40%
  • Poor pulmonary function: FEV1 and FVC \<50% predicted
  • Poor liver function: bilirubin \>/= 3mg/dL (not due to hemolysis, Gilbert's or primary malignancy)
  • Poor renal function: Creatinine \>/= 2mg/dL or creatinine clearance (calculated or measured creatinine clearance is permitted) \<40mL/min based on Traditional Cockcroft-Gault formula
  • Women of childbearing potential who currently are pregnant or who are not practicing adequate contraception
  • Patients who have any debilitating medical or psychiatric illness that would preclude their giving informed consent or their receiving optimal treatment and follow up
