Summary
This trial is studying how to make cord blood transplants more successful for adults with blood cancers.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with various high-risk blood cancers, including different types of leukemia and lymphoma. Participants must meet specific criteria such as being in a certain phase of remission, having adequate organ function, and not having had certain previous treatments like stem cell transplants within the last year.
What is being tested?
The study tests an 'optimized' cord blood transplant (CBT) process developed by MSK. It includes evaluation methods, conditioning chemotherapy, total body irradiation before the transplant, and post-transplant care to assess side effects, disease relapse rates, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), and immune recovery.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions to chemotherapy or radiation therapy like fatigue and nausea; complications from CBT may involve infection risks due to weakened immunity or GVHD where donor cells attack the patient's body.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cord Blood TransplantExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Adult patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies and a suitable double-unit CB graft will undergo work-up to assess protocol eligibility. CB graft selection will be based on established MSKCC guidelines. Patients will receive standard conditioning with Cy 50 mg/kg, Flu 150 mg/m2, Thio 10 mg/kg, and TBI 400 cGy according to the eligibility criteria. GVHD prophylaxis will consist of CSA and MMF starting day -3. The double-unit CB graft will be infused on day 0 per standard practice. Optimized CBT practices, will be implemented in this protocol.
