Brief Title: Bulk Versus Fractionated Stem Cell Infusions in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies Undergoing Stem Cell Transplantation
Official Title: Randomized Phase II Trial of Bulk Versus Fractionated Stem Cell Infusions in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies Undergoing Stem Cell Transplantation
Study ID: NCT01596257
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to find out if getting a blood stem cell transplant with donor stem cells given over several days is better than getting a blood stem cell transplant with donor stem cells given over 1 day. We want to find out which procedure over will result in improved recovery of blood and immune function after transplant. When donor stem cells are given over various days in mice, the blood and immune system recovery is quicker.
Detailed Description: This is a complex study that involves various interventions, Intervention #1: Donor Initial Stem Cell Collection; Intervention #2: Stem Cell Product Initial Processing Orders; Intervention #3 Patient Admission and Transplantation; Intervention #4: Stem cell infusion; Intervention #5: Post infusion follow up; Intervention #6: Off Study Patient and Donor Evaluation. Patients whose donor fails to collect the appropriate number of cells will receive all their cells as a bulk infusion. These patients will continue to receive a transplant on protocol but will be replaced until both arms have reached the target accrual.
