Haploidentical (Half-matched) Related Donor Stem Cell Transplantation Using Killer Immunoglobulin-like Receptors in Addition to Normal Selection Factors to Determine the Best Donor

Partially HLA-Mismatched Related Donor Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Using Killer Immunoglobulin Receptor and Human Leukocyte Antigen Based Donor Selection

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Intervention / Treatment

Experimental: Patients will undergo donor/recipient bone marrow; All patients will undergo haploidentical, allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation. Conditioning will consist of fludarabine, melphalan, and thiotepa. Graft versus host disease prophylaxis will be with post-transplant cyclophosphamide in addition to standard tacrolimus and mycophenolate mofetil. Donors will undergo HLA and KIR geno- and allotyping to determine the best donor.

Drug: Filgrastim; Other Names: Neupogen®; Drug: Tacrolimus; Other Names: Prograf®; Drug: Mesna; Other Names: Mesnex®; Drug: melphalan; melphalan (140 mg/m2 IV on day -7); Other Names: Alkeran®; Drug: fludarabine; fludarabine (40 mg/m2/d on days -5 through -2); Other Names: FLUDARA®; Drug: thiotepa; thiotepa (5 mg/kg IV on day -67); Drug: Cyclophosphamide; cyclophosphamide (50 mg/kg IV on day +3 and +4); Other Names: Cytoxan®; Drug: Mycophenolate Mofetil; (15 mg/kg PO/IV TID); Other Names: CellCept®
