5. Study Description

Brief Summary
For patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing allogeneic myeloablative (MA) HCT with a T cell depleted graft, the infusion of naturally occurring regulatory T cells with conventional T cells (T cell add back) in pre-defined doses and ratios will reduce the incidence of acute graft vs host disease while augmenting the graft vs leukemia effect and improving immune reconstitution.
Detailed Description
Primary Objectives: To determine the efficacy, safety and feasibility of administration of several dose combinations of conventional T cells (Tcon) and regulatory T cells (Treg) in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with HLA matched donors (related or unrelated) using a T cell depleted graft [CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells ("CD34+ HSPC")], without immune suppression. To determine the maximum tolerated dose of infused regulatory and conventional T cells in the matched donor setting To determine 1 year event free survival (EFS) post HCT Secondary Objectives: To determine the 1 year OS in patients undergoing allogeneic HCT with matched donors. To measure the incidence and severity of acute and chronic graft vs host disease (GvHD) To measure incidence of serious infections
