Study Summary

This phase II trial investigates two strategies and how well they work for the reduction of graft versus host disease in patients with acute leukemia or MDS in remission. Giving chemotherapy and total-body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell transplant helps stop the growth of cells in the bone marrow, including normal blood-forming cells (stem cells) and cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells from a donor are infused into the patient, they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. The donated stem cells may also replace the patient's immune cells and help destroy any remaining cancer cells.

Primary Outcome

Will be defined as survival-free of a history of: a) relapse after hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT), b) grade III-IV acute GVHD after HCT, moderate or severe chronic GVHD meeting National Institutes of Health (NIH) criteria and requiring systemic pharmacologic immunosuppression for treatment of GVHD. RFS distribution will be estimated for each arm by the Kaplan-Meier curve, starting from the time of HCT. A 90% confidence interval (CI) will be constructed at 1 and 2-year post-HCT timepoin
