Study Summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how long it takes for certain types of transplanted stem cells to produce new blood cells. The safety of this treatment will also be studied. Finally, researchers want to learn if collecting the cells with the CliniMACS device can decrease the possibility of tumor cells contaminating (appearing in) the stem cells that are reinfused into participants.

Primary Outcome

Engraftment Failure Rate is number of participants with engraftment failure out of total participants. Engraftment failure is defined as failure to achieve an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>500/ul by day 42, and has no evidence of donor chimerism on bone marrow examination.

Interventions

  • DRUG Melphalan
  • DRUG Carboplatin
  • DRUG Etoposide
  • PROCEDURE Stem Cell Infusion
  • DEVICE ClinicMACS
