About this trial
The hypothesis for this study is that a preparative regimen that maximizes host immunosuppression without myeloablation will be well tolerated and sufficient for engraftment of donor hematopoietic cells. It is also to determine major toxicities from these conditioning regimens, within the first 100 days after transplantation.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Donor engraftment as measured by chimerism
Engraftment is measured in myeloid and lymphoid lineage cells
Major toxicities as graded by the CTC v4
Toxicity monitoring includes unanticipated side effects (new) and all severe irreversible toxicities Grade 3 and above unexpected Grade 4 and above - all toxicities that are possibly, probably or definitely related to protocol therapy All deaths irrespective of attribution
Secondary outcomes
Time to neutrophil and platelet engraftment as measured by complete blood counts
Defined as an ANC \>500/microliter and platelets \>20,000 or 50,000/microliter depending on disorder
Incidence of acute graft-versus-host disease as measured by protocol grading scale
aGVHD - involving the skin, gut and liver. Classified according to grading described by Thomas et al. NEJM 1975; 292:895-902
Incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease as measured by protocol grading scale
cGVHD classified per Schulman et al. Am J Med 69: 204-17, 1980.
Long-term donor engraftment by donor chimerism
Donor chimerism is determined by PCR analysis after cell separation into lymphoid and myeloid lineage cells using antibodies. Can also be detected by FISH analysis in the event of donor and recipient sex discrepancy.
