Summary

This trial is testing a new way to give an allogeneic HCT, which is a transplant of blood-forming cells from a donor. This new method uses a myeloablative preparative regimen, which is a way to kill cancer cells, followed by a post-transplant graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis regimen.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with various blood disorders like leukemia, lymphoma, and myelodysplasia who are in remission or have high-risk features. They must be under 60 years old with good organ function and HIV+ patients need an undetectable viral load. Pregnant women, those with active infections or certain types of cancer that aren't responding to treatment can't join.
What is being tested?
The study tests a bone marrow transplant (HSCT) using either total body irradiation (TBI) or a chemo regimen for those who can't have more radiation. It's followed by drugs to prevent graft-versus-host disease. The goal is to see how well these treatments work for severe blood disorders.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include damage to organs from radiation or chemotherapy, increased risk of infections due to immune suppression, reactions from the transplant itself, and complications related to medications used after the transplant.
