About this trial
This phase II trial studies how well giving an umbilical cord blood transplant together with cyclophosphamide, fludarabine, and total-body irradiation (TBI) works in treating patients with hematologic diseases. Giving chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, fludarabine and thiotepa, and TBI before a donor cord blood transplant (CBT) helps stop the growth of cancer and abnormal cells and helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Sometimes the transplanted cells from a donor can make an immune response against the body's normal cells. Giving cyclosporine and mycophenolate mofetil after transplant may stop this from happening in patients with high-risk hematologic diseases.
Eligibility criteria

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Overall survival
Will be assessed after optimized cord blood transplant (CBT) in adults and children with hematologic malignancies. Will be calculated using the Kaplan-Meier method.
Secondary outcomes
Cumulative incidence of neutrophil and platelet engraftment
Will be calculated within the competing risks framework considering death without neutrophil or platelet recovery, respectively, as completing events
Incidences of graft failure
Will be calculated within the competing risks framework considering death without engraftment before day 21 as a competing event.
Incidence of grade II-IV and III-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD)
Will be calculated within the competing risks framework considering relapse/ death without developing GVHD, death in the absence of relapse, and relapse as competing events, respectively.
Incidence of grade II-IV and III-IV aGVHD
Will be calculated within the competing risks framework considering relapse/ death without developing GVHD, death in the absence of relapse, and relapse as competing events, respectively.
