Study Summary

This trial is testing a new way to do a bone marrow transplant using cells from a related donor. They will track how well patients do 18 months after the transplant.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 55+ or with certain health conditions, lacking a fully matched sibling donor, and with specific blood cancers in remission or sensitive to chemotherapy. They must have good organ function, agree to birth control if applicable, and have an HLA-haploidentical relative as a donor.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests a transplant of blood cells from half-matched relatives using lower doses of Fludarabine and Melphalan drugs plus whole-body radiation. The goal is to see how many patients are disease-free after 18 months.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include weakened immune system leading to infections, nausea, mouth sores due to chemotherapy; skin irritation from radiation; and possible organ damage related to the treatment.
