Approximately 30% of patients who are candidates for bone marrow transplants do not have an HLA-matched, or close to matched, donor available. For this reason, doctors have been testing ways to make transplants from HLA-partially matched donors as safe and effective as transplants from HLA-matched donors. This study is being done to test the safety and the treatment results of a specific kind of transplant. In this transplant, blood from two donors will be used. Each donor will share one half of your HLA type. Blood from both donors will be transplanted at the same time.

Efficacy of HLA-haploidentical Biparental T-cell Depleted CD34+ Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplants
Efficacy is measured by: 1. incidence of transplant-related mortality, overall survival and disease-free survival at 1 year post transplant. 2. incidence, tempo and complications of engraftment and hematopoietic reconstitutions and conversely, the risk of graft failure 3. incidence and severity of acute and/or chronic GVHD 4. incidence and severity of opportunistic infections developing following engraftment
Time frame: 1 year
Evaluation of Recipients Post Transplant
The levels of engraftment and persistence of hematopoietic cells and their myeloid and lymphoid progressing from each donor post transplant. The tolerance or reactivity of engrafted T cells from each donor detected in the blood at 3, 6, and thereafter every 3-6 months until normal, post transplant against host cells and cells derived from the other parent as measured by standard mixed lymphocyte culture and cell mediated cytolysis assays.
Time frame: 1 year
