The purpose of this study is to find out if a combination of drugs (these are called: cyclophosphamide, sirolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil) will protect participants better against graft vs. host disease (GVHD) after receiving a hematopoietic cell transplant from a related partially matched (haploidentical) donor. As part of the treatment for their blood cancer, participants need a hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) to improve their chances of cure. In any HCT, after the stem cell infusion is given, a combination of drugs is needed to prevent GVHD and facilitate acceptance of the graft.

Myeloablative conditioning: 40 mg/m\^2 daily for 4 days. Dose will be adjusted for estimated creatinine clearance. Reduced intensity conditioning: 30 mg/m\^2 daily on days -6, -5, -4, -3 and -2. Dose will be adjusted for estimated creatinine clearance.
Myeloablative conditioning: IV dosing targeted for a daily total area under curve (AUC) 5300 mmol\*min/L for 4 days. Busulfan AUC will be pharmacokinetically targeted. An AUC 3500 mmol\*min/l may be considered in patients over 60 years of age or with multiple comorbidities. Chemotherapy may start on day -6 or day -5 depending on the day of admission (-6 for Wednesday admission, -5 for Sunday admission).
Reduced intensity conditioning: 14.5 mg/kg/day on days -6, -5. GVHD prophylaxis: 50 mg/kg ideal body weight (IBW) daily dose will be given on days +3 and +4 post-transplant as an IV infusion over 1-2 hours.
Reduced intensity conditioning: 200 centigray (cGy) on day -1.
On day 0, patients will receive a peripheral blood hematopoietic cell graft.
GVHD prophylaxis: SIR will be administered as a 9 mg oral loading dose on day +5, followed by maintenance. SIR levels will be monitored and maintenance dosing adjusted as needed for a target trough level 8 to 14 ng/ml, per Moffitt BMT program standard practice. In the absence of acute GVHD, sirolimus taper will start on day +90 (+/- 10 days) and it is suggested to finish by day +180.
GVHD prophylaxis: MMF will start on day +5 at a dose of 15 mg/kg every 8 hours IV with the maximum daily dose not to exceed 3 gm. MMF will be changed to orally (PO) and discontinued on day +35 (without taper) in the absence of acute GVHD.
Growth factor support: G-CSF will be given beginning on day 5 at a dose of 5 mcg/kg/day (rounding to the nearest vial dose), until absolute granulocyte count (ANC) is \> 1,000/mm\^3 for three consecutive days. G-CSF may be given IV or subcutaneously.

Incidence of Grade II-IV Acute Graft vs. Host Disease (GVHD)
Cumulative incidence of grade II-IV acute GVHD by day 100 after HCT. Acute GVHD organ staging and assessment of overall grade will use standard consensus criteria. The cumulative incidence of acute and chronic GVHD will be estimated, considering malignancy relapse and non-relapse death as competing risk events.
Time frame: 100 days post hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT)
Incidence of Chronic GVHD
Cumulative incidence of chronic GVHD by 1 year. Chronic GVHD diagnosis follow National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus guidelines.
Time frame: 1 year post HCT
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival is defined as time from transplant to death or last follow-up, and is reported as percentage of surviving participants.
Time frame: Up to 1 year post HCT
Progression Free Survival (PFS)
Progression-free survival defined by the time interval from transplant to relapse/recurrence, to death or to last follow-up. Reported as percentage of participants who are disease free one year post HCT.
Time frame: Up to 1 year post HCT
