About this trial
Given the increased number of HLA-mismatched haploidentical transplantation with post-transplant cyclophosphamide performed each year and the high risk of infectious complications associated with this type of transplant, the investigators suggest that GM-CSF administration post-infusion of T-replete haploidentical stem cells and post-transplant cyclophosphamide can yield similar count recovery rates to G-CSF with a potential of lowering risk of infectious complications.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
The number of patients who achieved neutrophil engraftment at 20 days after the initiation of treatment.
The aim of the study is to establish equivalent effectiveness of Sargramostim to a matched control cohort of G-CSF treated patients in time to achieve neutrophil (ANC \>500 x3 days) post infusion of HLA-mismatched peripheral blood haploidentical stem cells with post-transplant cyclophosphamide. Patients will be followed for 3 months following the initiation of treatment to see engraftment numbers at 20 days after initial treatment.
Secondary outcomes
How many patients are still alive measured by overall survival at 12 months following the initiation of treatment.
To estimate overall survival
How many patients have not relapsed measured by relapse rates at 12 months following the initiation of treatment.
To estimate relapse rates
How many patients develop graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) measured by the incidence of GVHD at 12 months following initiation of treatment
To estimate incidence of GVHD
How many patients have not relapsed measured by progression-free survival at 12 months following the initiation of treatment
To estimate non-relapse mortality
