Summary
Major Objectives A. To determine whether stable allogeneic hematopoietic engraftment can be safely established in patients who have rejected (<5% T Cell Chimerism) a previous allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell graft by using an allogeneic SCT from an HLA-Identical or non-identical family donor or unrelated donors, with fludarabine (150mg/m2) and TBI (400cGy), with post-transplantation immunosuppression utilizing tacrolimus and MMF. B. To evaluate the incidence of transplant related mortality. Minor Objectives A. To evaluate the incidence of acute and chronic GVHD after second allogeneic HCT utilizing Tac/MMF with peripheral blood stem cells from matched or mis-matched allogeneic donors. B. To evaluate disease responses and survival after second allogeneic SCT. C. To evaluate the need for DLI after second transplant for either disease control or persistent mixed chimerism.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

Any patient who has rejected a previous allogeneic transplant (related or unrelated)
rejection based on chimerism data from peripheral blood specimens showing loss of donor T
Cells.

1. Available HLA-identical, a one-antigen mis-matched sibling donor, a phenotypically
HLA-matched family member, a phenotypically matched unrelated donor, or a 9/10 matched
unrelated donor with a negative cross-match.

2. Age ≤ 75 years.

3. Patients who fail to engraft or have signs of early relapse after an autologous
transplant may be considered for this protocol as salvage treatment if they are
presented to the RMBMTP Clinical Care meeting and the majority of the group agrees
that this a reasonable treatment option.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patients whose low donor chimerism is felt to be due to rapidly progressive
hematological malignancies, unless they can be treated into a minimal disease state
with additional treatment.

2. Patients with active uncontrolled CNS involvement with malignancy.

3. Fertile men or women unwilling to use contraceptive techniques during and for 12
months following treatment.

4. Females who are pregnant.

5. Patients who are HIV positive

6. Organ dysfunction felt to be due to the conditioning for the first transplant
including the following:

- Left ventricle ejection fraction < 35%.

- DLCO <35% of predicted, or receiving continuous supplementary oxygen.

- Karnofsky score <50 for patients < 60 years, or <70 for patients aged 60 - 69
years (see appendix B).

- Creatinine clearance < 40 ml/min.

- Patients with these end-organ toxicities may be presented to the RMBMTP Patient
Care Conference. If the majority opinion is that this treatment is the safest
option for a patient who has rejected their first transplant, they will be
allowed to undergo the treatment, after informed consent has been signed.

- Patients with a positive PRA or anti-donor T or B cell (+) will be
considered for this treatment protocol only if no other option is available.
They should not be eligible for another research study. The transplantation
group must have a majority opinion that this is the best available option
for the patient in question. In patients with either condition, the only
acceptable stem cell source will be peripheral blood.
