Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) has emerged and been increasingly adopted as a modality to allow preparative conditioning pre transplant to be tolerated by older adults or those patients that are otherwise unfit for myeloablative conditioning. In this study, we aim to use RIC followed by matched related/unrelated donor, 7/8 matched related/unrelated donor, or haploidentical donor peripheral blood stem cell transplantation. Standard strategies to control the alloreactivity following HCT utilize immunosuppressive or cytotoxic medications. In this study, we explore donor graft engineering to enrich for immmunoregulatory populations to facilitate post transplantation immune reconstitution while minimizing graft versus host disease (GVHD) with post-transplant immunosuppressive agents.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The objectives for the study are listed below:

Primary Objectives

\*Determine the safety, and feasibility of administration of several dose combinations of conventional T-cells (Tcon) and regulatory T-cells (Treg) in subjects undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with related/unrelated HLA-matched or mismatched donors, or haploidentical donors with reduced intensity conditioning preparative regimen.

Secondary Objectives

* To determine the GVHD-free relapse-free survival (GRFS) post-HCT
* To determine the overall survival (OS) post-HCT
* To measure the incidence and severity of acute and chronic GVHD

Exploratory Objectives

* To measure the incidence of serious infections
* To measure the incidence and timing of engraftment
* To measure T cell immunity reconstitution parameters
