Study arms

  • 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.
