Adults with blood cancers eligible for a stem cell transplant from a matched donor can join. They must have good organ function, no severe infections, and be willing to follow the study plan. Pregnant women, those with recent heart issues or another cancer within 3 years (with some exceptions), or who cannot consent are excluded.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Participants with hematological malignanciesExperimental Treatment3 Interventions

Participants undergoing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) will receive a combination of cyclophosphamide, known commercially as Cytoxan®, abatacept, known as Orecia® and bortezomib commercially known as Velcade®, to reduce the rate of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). These medications will be given for GvHD prevention during the transplant process.
