    • Received intensive induction chemotherapy (i.e. 7+3 or MEC) OR
    • Progression after 4 cycles of hypomethylating agents
  • The donor and recipient must be HLA identical for at least one haplotype (using high resolution DNA based typing) at the following genetic loci: HLA-A, HLA-B, HLA-C, and HLA-DRB1
• Karnofsky performance status ≥ 60% (appendix IV)

• Adequate organ function within 14 days of study registration (30 days for pulmonary and cardiac) defined as:

  • Hepatic: AST and ALT < 3 x upper limit of institutional normal
  • Renal: estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥ 40 mL/min/1.73m2
  • Pulmonary: oxygen saturation ≥ 90% on room air with no symptomatic pulmonary disease. If symptomatic or prior known impairment DLCOcor ≥ 40%.
  • Cardiac: LVEF ≥ 40% by echocardiography, MUGA, or cardiac MRI, no uncontrolled angina, severe uncontrolled ventricular arrhythmias, or electrocardiographic evidence of acute ischemia or active conduction system abnormalities
• Able to be off prednisone or other immunosuppressive medications for at least 3 days prior to transplant (excluding preparative regimen pre-medications)
• Sexually active females of child bearing potential and males with partners of child bearing potential must agree to use effective contraception during therapy and for 4 months after completion of therapy
• Voluntary written consent prior to the performance of any research related procedures

Exclusion Criteria:

• Acute leukemias of ambiguous lineage
• Allogeneic transplant for AML within the previous 6 months (no time limit for autologous transplant)
• Active CNS disease - if a history of AML related CNS involvement, screening CSF analysis must be negative

• New or progressive pulmonary infiltrates on screening chest x-ray or chest CT scan unless cleared for study by Pulmonary. Infiltrates attributed to infection must be stable/improving (with associated clinical improvement) after 1 week of appropriate therapy (4 weeks for presumed or documented fungal infections).
