      This clinical trial studies how well donor stem cell boost works in treating patients with&#xD;
      low blood cells after donor stem cell transplant. Donor stem cell boost may increase low&#xD;
      blood cell counts caused by hematologic cancer or its treatment.&#xD;

    <textblock>
      Successful engraftment after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is defined&#xD;
      by an actual neutrophil count (ANC) of &gt; 500 10^6/L and a self-sustaining platelet count of&#xD;
      20 x 10^9/L. ANC recovery usually occurs 14 to 21 days after the infusion of donor HSCs with&#xD;
      red cell and platelet recovery typically following within the same time frame, although&#xD;
      resolution of anemia may occur last. Recovery time is dose dependent, but in one report,&#xD;
      donor HSC aliquots containing 1.9 to 20.5 10^6/kg CD34+ cells resulted in an ANC of &gt; 500&#xD;
      10^6/L at a median of 12 days and 16 days for patients receiving filgrastim versus those not&#xD;
      receiving a white cell growth factor. In this trial, self-sustaining platelet counts of 20 x&#xD;
      10^9/L occurred at median times of 15 to 11 days respectively. The results of another trial&#xD;
      comparing outcomes between patients receiving mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs)&#xD;
      versus those receiving marrow from their donors showed that median times ANC of &gt; 500 10^6/L&#xD;
      and self-sustaining platelet counts of 20 x 10^9/L were 16 and 13 days respectively in the&#xD;
      group receiving PBSCs and 21 and 19 days in those receiving marrow. Similar HSC doses&#xD;
      associated with successful engraftment in these time frames have been demonstrated in other&#xD;
      trials.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Most transplant centers require a minimum dose of 1 to 2 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg to achieve&#xD;
      adequate count recovery in a reasonable time frame post HSCT, although an early trial&#xD;
      examining recovery after autologous reinfusion of HSCs demonstrated that a threshold of 2.5 x&#xD;
      10^6/kg of CD 34 cells was associated with consistent and rapid WBC and platelet recovery&#xD;
      times (18 and 14 days respectively). A later trial assessing autologous PBSC mobilization in&#xD;
      breast cancer patients showed that HSC doses of ≥ 5 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg were associated&#xD;
      with an 85% probability of WBC and platelet recovery by day 14, but with doses of 2 x 10^6 or&#xD;
      less, 10% of patients had platelet recovery beyond day +28. While the precise dose of HSCs&#xD;
      for successful engraftment in the allogeneic setting is not known, patient characteristics&#xD;
      such as myelofibrosis and/or splenomegaly are likely to cause interpatient variation in the&#xD;
      minimum number of HSCs needed for successful engraftment. In addition, donor factors such as&#xD;
      mismatch in size with the recipient and biologic variation in the number of HSCs that can be&#xD;
      obtained from any individual donor, can create a deficit in the amount of HSCs required for&#xD;
      robust count recovery in a particular recipient. All of these factors can contribute to a&#xD;
      poor functional or numeric cell dose and result in pancytopenia after HSCT.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Drugs required for the prophylaxis and treatment of GVHD and infection have myelotoxic&#xD;
      effects post HSCT, and unlike their use in solid organ transplantation, the marrow toxic&#xD;
      effects of these drugs are potentially more severe and longer lasting in the presence of a&#xD;
      newly reconstituting immune system. While many drugs can have negative effects on marrow&#xD;
      function after HSCT, mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) and ganciclovir are two of the most commonly&#xD;
      used agents with the potential to cause cytopenias.&#xD;
&#xD;
      After hydrolysis to its active form, mycophenolic acid (MPA), MMF inhibits T and B cell&#xD;
      proliferation making its use valuable in the prevention of graft versus host and host versus&#xD;
      graft reactions post HSCT, especially in conjunction with a calcineurin inhibitor. Levels of&#xD;
      MPA are increased in the presence of altered renal function, and other commonly used post&#xD;
      HSCT drugs including acyclovir, ganciclovir, valaganciclovir, and tacrolimus. A major side&#xD;
      effect of MMF is pancytopenia, particularly neutropenia, which is exacerbated by high drug&#xD;
      levels. Due to finding of a wide interpatient variability in drug exposure, it has recently&#xD;
      been recommended that the monitoring of MPA levels would result in better therapeutic&#xD;
      outcomes, although MPA drug levels are not commonly obtained as yet in clinical practice.&#xD;
      Myelotoxicity from the drug is observed after renal transplantation in the presence of a&#xD;
      non-transplanted immune system demonstrating the potent myelosuppression associated with this&#xD;
      drug, and the increased toxicity in patients with abnormal renal function. Patients post HSCT&#xD;
      are treated with multiple drugs that both increase MPA levels and alter creatinine clearance,&#xD;
      and are thereby highly susceptible to the marrow toxic effects of the drug which can result&#xD;
      in cytopenias.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Ganciclovir and valganciclovir, which is rapidly converted to ganciclovir by intestinal&#xD;
      mucosal cells and hepatocytes to ganciclovir, are inhibitors of DNA synthesis. Ganciclovir is&#xD;
      a known myelotoxic drug that is effective in prophylaxis and treatment of cytomegalovirus&#xD;
      (CMV) infections in transplant recipients. Salzberger et al. examined the outcomes between&#xD;
      engraftment and day +100 post HSCT of 278 patients receiving ganciclovir and found that 41%&#xD;
      of patients receiving the drug had an ANC less than 1000 10^6/L for at least 2 consecutive&#xD;
      days. Hyperbilirubinemia during the first 20 days after HSCT, elevated serum creatinine after&#xD;
      day +21, and low marrow cellularity between days +21 and +28 were significant risk factors&#xD;
      for neutropenia. Patients with 3 risk factors had a 57% chance of developing neutropenia,&#xD;
      which was significantly associated with a decreased overall and event free survival. As noted&#xD;
      above, concomitant use of ganciclovir and MMF increase the serum concentration of both drugs&#xD;
      exacerbating marrow toxicity. Because CMV is a life-threatening disease post HSCT, it is&#xD;
      often necessary to use ganciclovir especially in the presence of renal failure which is&#xD;
      exacerbated with the use of foscarnet, the alternate drug for CMV treatment. Therefore,&#xD;
      ganciclovir-induced pancytopenia may be unavoidable in certain contexts.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Other medications with potentially toxic effects on the marrow alone or in combination with&#xD;
      other commonly used agents which may contribute to the development of post HSCT cytopenias&#xD;
      include levetiracetam, methotrexate, antibiotics such as linezolid, vancomycin, amoxicillin,&#xD;
      cephalosporins, cidofovir, and gabapentin.&#xD;
&#xD;
      In addition to insufficient allogeneic cell doses and medication toxicities, infections post&#xD;
      HSCT can also result in persistent cytopenias. Reactivation of human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6)&#xD;
      and CMV in particular are associated with pancytopenia. HHV-6 reactivates at a median of 20&#xD;
      days post-HSCT and active infection has been shown in almost 50% of patients. The clinical&#xD;
      syndrome associated with an active HHV-6 infection varies in intensity and may include&#xD;
      encephalitis, rash, interstitial pneumonitis, and secondary graft failure. A transient,&#xD;
      clinically insignificant HHV-6 reactivation occurs in many patients and because the symptoms&#xD;
      of an HHV-6 infection are heterogenous and therefore less recognized, the disease may become&#xD;
      severe prior to the recognition that the reactivation requires treatment. HHV-6 can become&#xD;
      chronically active and has been associated not only with secondary graft failure, but pure&#xD;
      red cell aplasia as well.&#xD;
&#xD;
      CMV reactivation in the post HSCT period can also be accompanied by an acute syndrome&#xD;
      manifested by fever, myalgia, and suppressed marrow function. Leukopenia at the start of CMV&#xD;
      therapy has been associated with a poor response to anti-viral therapy and is a risk factor&#xD;
      for progression of CMV viremia to CMV disease. While the most serious manifestations of CMV&#xD;
      disease are related to pulmonary and enteral infections CMV-induced marrow suppression and&#xD;
      marrow failure has been described, with identification of specific genotypes of CMV highly&#xD;
      associated with mortality from pancytopenia. Because CMV and the treatment for CMV can both&#xD;
      be associated with post HSCT cytopenias, it is often difficult to distinguish which of the&#xD;
      two is the major etiological factor.&#xD;
&#xD;
      Although the pathophysiology is unclear, persistent cytopenias post HSCT have also been&#xD;
      associated with acute and chronic GVHD, bacterial and fungal infections, and impaired hepatic&#xD;
      and renal function. Because failure of hematopoietic recovery after HSCT is associated with&#xD;
      compromised patient survival, this protocol was developed to provide patients with persistent&#xD;
      cytopenias post HSCT a boost of their original donors' HSCs to improve peripheral blood&#xD;
      counts.&#xD;

This clinical trial studies how well donor stem cell boost works in treating patients with
      low blood cells after donor stem cell transplant. Donor stem cell boost may increase low
      blood cell counts caused by hematologic cancer or its treatment.
Successful engraftment after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is defined
      by an actual neutrophil count (ANC) of > 500 10^6/L and a self-sustaining platelet count of
      20 x 10^9/L. ANC recovery usually occurs 14 to 21 days after the infusion of donor HSCs with
      red cell and platelet recovery typically following within the same time frame, although
      resolution of anemia may occur last. Recovery time is dose dependent, but in one report,
      donor HSC aliquots containing 1.9 to 20.5 10^6/kg CD34+ cells resulted in an ANC of > 500
      10^6/L at a median of 12 days and 16 days for patients receiving filgrastim versus those not
      receiving a white cell growth factor. In this trial, self-sustaining platelet counts of 20 x
      10^9/L occurred at median times of 15 to 11 days respectively. The results of another trial
      comparing outcomes between patients receiving mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs)
      versus those receiving marrow from their donors showed that median times ANC of > 500 10^6/L
      and self-sustaining platelet counts of 20 x 10^9/L were 16 and 13 days respectively in the
      group receiving PBSCs and 21 and 19 days in those receiving marrow. Similar HSC doses
      associated with successful engraftment in these time frames have been demonstrated in other
      trials.

      Most transplant centers require a minimum dose of 1 to 2 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg to achieve
      adequate count recovery in a reasonable time frame post HSCT, although an early trial
      examining recovery after autologous reinfusion of HSCs demonstrated that a threshold of 2.5 x
      10^6/kg of CD 34 cells was associated with consistent and rapid WBC and platelet recovery
      times (18 and 14 days respectively). A later trial assessing autologous PBSC mobilization in
      breast cancer patients showed that HSC doses of ≥ 5 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg were associated
      with an 85% probability of WBC and platelet recovery by day 14, but with doses of 2 x 10^6 or
      less, 10% of patients had platelet recovery beyond day +28. While the precise dose of HSCs

      robust count recovery in a particular recipient. All of these factors can contribute to a
      poor functional or numeric cell dose and result in pancytopenia after HSCT.

      Drugs required for the prophylaxis and treatment of GVHD and infection have myelotoxic

      In addition to insufficient allogeneic cell doses and medication toxicities, infections post
      HSCT can also result in persistent cytopenias. Reactivation of human herpes virus 6 (HHV-6)
      and CMV in particular are associated with pancytopenia. HHV-6 reactivates at a median of 20
      days post-HSCT and active infection has been shown in almost 50% of patients. The clinical
      syndrome associated with an active HHV-6 infection varies in intensity and may include
      encephalitis, rash, interstitial pneumonitis, and secondary graft failure. A transient,
      clinically insignificant HHV-6 reactivation occurs in many patients and because the symptoms
      of an HHV-6 infection are heterogenous and therefore less recognized, the disease may become
      severe prior to the recognition that the reactivation requires treatment. HHV-6 can become
      chronically active and has been associated not only with secondary graft failure, but pure
      red cell aplasia as well.

      CMV reactivation in the post HSCT period can also be accompanied by an acute syndrome
      manifested by fever, myalgia, and suppressed marrow function. Leukopenia at the start of CMV
      therapy has been associated with a poor response to anti-viral therapy and is a risk factor
      for progression of CMV viremia to CMV disease. While the most serious manifestations of CMV
      disease are related to pulmonary and enteral infections CMV-induced marrow suppression and
      marrow failure has been described, with identification of specific genotypes of CMV highly
      associated with mortality from pancytopenia. Because CMV and the treatment for CMV can both
      be associated with post HSCT cytopenias, it is often difficult to distinguish which of the
      two is the major etiological factor.

      Although the pathophysiology is unclear, persistent cytopenias post HSCT have also been
      associated with acute and chronic GVHD, bacterial and fungal infections, and impaired hepatic
      and renal function. Because failure of hematopoietic recovery after HSCT is associated with
      compromised patient survival, this protocol was developed to provide patients with persistent
      cytopenias post HSCT a boost of their original donors' HSCs to improve peripheral blood
      counts.
