This study is assessing whether the IS-free Treg-cell graft-engineered haplo HSCT) approach will reduce risk of relapse while preventing usual toxicities related to stem cell transplants (e.g., graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD)). GVHD is a complication of transplantation where the T cells (a type of white blood cell that helps protect the body from relapse by killing cancer cells) in the donor graft attack and damage some of the host tissues. Patients who receive an allogeneic (using another person as the donor) hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) may develop graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) toxicity and are also at risk of disease relapse. The research study procedures include: screening for eligibility and study treatment including evaluations and follow up visits. Participants will receive the study intervention Treg-enriched donor cells and will then be followed for 1 year after transplantation. It is expected that about 10 people will take part in this research study. Dana-Farber Cancer Institute research funds along with charitable donations are supporting this research study. Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (a pharmaceutical company) is also supporting this research study by providing funding and support for correlative laboratory tests.
