Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation for Hematologic Malignancies With Alpha Beta TCell and B Cell Depletion Using the CliniMACS Device

The purpose of this research study is to evaluate a new method of T cell depletion using the Miltenyi CliniMACS™ device for patients undergoing a peripheral stem cell transplant utilizing either a unrelated donor or partially matched/haploidentical related donor. This new method is called α/β (alpha/beta) T cell depletion and CD19+ B cell depletion. This pilot study will evaluate if this new method of T cell and B cell depletion is a more effective way of removing T cells thus reducing the risk of severe acute and chronic GVHD and result in a durable engraftment.
