2-Step Stem Cell Transplant for Blood Cancers
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
This phase II trial studies how well a 2-step approach to stem cell transplant works in treating patients with blood cancers. Giving chemotherapy and total body irradiation before a lymphocyte (white blood cell) and stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. By giving the donor cells in two steps, the dose of lymphocytes given can be tightly controlled and they can be made more tolerant to the body. When the healthy lymphocytes and stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells called graft versus host disease. Giving tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil may stop this from happening.

Eligibility Criteria
This trial is for patients with blood cancers who have a heart function of at least 45%, lung capacity over half the expected, normal liver function, and kidney clearance above 60 mL/min. They need a closely matched related donor for stem cell transplant and must not be HIV positive or have another active cancer (except certain skin cancers). Women should use effective contraception, and men should abstain from sex during treatment.Inclusion Criteria
