- Myeloproliferative disorders including atypical (Ph negative) chronic myeloid and neutrophilic leukemias, progressing myelofibrosis, and polycythemia vera, essential thrombocythemia in transformation to acute leukemia or with progressive transfusion requirements or pancytopenia.
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia refractory to fludarabine treatment and with bulky progressive disease or with thrombocytopenia (less than or equal to 100,000 /microl) or anemia (less than or equal to 10g/dl) not due to recent chemotherapy.
- Non-Hodgkins lymphoma including Mantle cell lymphoma relapsing or refractory to standard of care treatments
- Multiple myeloma, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia, unresponsive or relapsed following standard of care treatments.
- HLA identical (6/6) related donor
- For adults: Ability to comprehend the investigational nature of the study and provide informed consent. For minors: written informed consent from one parent or guardian. Informed oral consent from minors: the process will be explained to the minor on a level of complexity appropriate for their age and ability to comprehend.
EXCLUSION CRITERIA - RECIPIENT:
- Estimated probability of surviving less than three months
- Major anticipated illness or organ failure incompatible with survival from transplant
- Severe psychiatric illness. Mental deficiency sufficiently severe as to make compliance with the transplant treatment unlikely and making informed consent impossible.
- Positive pregnancy test for women of childbearing age.
- HIV positive
- Diffusion Capacity of Lung for Carbon Monoxide (DLCO) adjusted for ventilation and hemoglobin less than 65 percent predicted
- Left ventricular ejection fraction less than 40 percent
- Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)/Serum Glutamate Oxaloacetate Transaminase (SGOT) greater than 10 times upper limit of normal (ULN) (CTCAE grade IV v3.0)
- Bilirubin greater than 5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) (CTCAE grade IV v3.0)
- Creatinine greater than 4.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN) (CTCAE grade IV v 3.0)
- Prior allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
INCLUSION CRITERIA - DONOR:
- Related donor, HLA identical (6/6) with recipient
- Weight greater than or equal to 18 kg
- Age greater than or equal to 2 or less than or equal to 80 years old
- For adults: Ability to comprehend the investigational nature of the study and provide informed consent. For minors: Written informed consent from one parent or guardian and informed assent: The process will be explained to the minor on a level of complexity appropriate for their age and ability to comprehend.
EXCLUSION CRITERIA - DONOR:
- Pregnant. Lactating donors permitted provide breast milk is discarded during the days that G-CSF is given
- Unfit to receive filgrastim (G-CSF) and undergo apheresis (abnormal blood counts, history of stroke, uncontrolled hypertension)
- Sickling hemoglobinopathies including HbSS, HbAS, HbSC
- HIV positive donors who are positive for hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV) or human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV-I/II) will be used at the discretion of the investigator following counseling and approval from the recipient
- Severe psychiatric illness. Mental deficiency sufficiently severe as to make compliance with the BMT treatment unlikely, and making informed consent impossible

T Cell Depletion Transplant Participants
Stem Cell Donors
Participants with hematological malignancies received a myeloablative conditioning regimen of cyclophosphamide, fludarabine and total body irradiation followed by an infusion of stem cell product prepared using the Miltenyi CliniMacs system for CD34 selection and a delayed T cell depletion add back as donor lymphocyte infusion at day 90.
An HLA 6/6 identical family member will be co-enrolled into this study as a stem cell donor. The stem cell collection aspect of this protocol is not investigational.
