You may be able to join if
- Patients aged 6 months to =< 65 years at time of consent.
- Acute myelogenous leukemia (AML):
- Complete first remission (CR1), complete second remission (CR2) or greater (CR2+), must have < 5% marrow blasts at the time of transplant.
- Patients in morphologic remission with persistent cytogenetic, flow cytometric, or molecular aberrations are eligible.
- Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL):
- Complete first remission (CR1) at high risk for relapse such as any of the following:
- Presence of any high-risk cytogenetic abnormalities such as t(9;22), t(1;19), t(4;11) or other MLL rearrangements (11q23) or other high-risk molecular abnormality.
- Failure to achieve MRD- complete remission after induction therapy.
- Persistence or recurrence of minimal residual disease on therapy.
- Any patient unable to tolerate consolidation and/or maintenance chemotherapy as would have been deemed appropriate by the treating physician.
- Other high-risk features not defined above.
- Complete second remission (CR2) or greater (CR2+).
- Note: ALL with less than 5% blasts at time of transplant but persistent cytogenetic, flow cytometric or molecular aberrations are eligible.
- Other acute leukemias: Acute leukemias of ambiguous lineage or mixed phenotype with less than 5% blasts. Leukemias in morphologic remission with persistent cytogenetic, flow cytometric or molecular aberrations are eligible.
- Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CML): Excluding refractory blast crisis. To be eligible in first chronic phase (CP1) patient must have failed or be intolerant to tyrosine kinase inhibitor therapy.
- Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) and myeloproliferative disorders (MPD) other than myelofibrosis:
- MDS/MPD overlap syndromes without myelofibrosis.
- MDS/ MPD patients must have less than 10% bone marrow myeloblasts and absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 0.2 (growth factor supported if necessary) at transplant work-up.
- Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) at high-risk of relapse or progression if not in remission:
- Eligible patients with aggressive histology (such as, but not limited to, diffuse large B-cell NHL, mantle cell NHL, and T-cell histology) in CR by PET/CT imaging.
- Eligible patients with indolent B-cell NHL (such as, but not limited to, follicular, small cell or marginal zone NHL) will have 2nd or subsequent progression with PR or CR by PET/CT imaging.
- Blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN) in morphologic remission.
- Only for adult patients, to prevent graft rejection, patients who received only non-lymphodepleting agents for their malignancy (hypomethylating agents, venetoclax, hydroxyurea, TKIs etc.), or patients who received lymphodepleting chemotherapy > 3 months prior to scheduled admission, may receive fludarabine 25 mg/m^2 daily x 3 days for lymphodepletion 14-42 days (aiming for 2-4 weeks) at the discretion of the principal investigator (PI).
- For patients > 16 years old, Karnofsky score ≥ 70%. For patients =< 16 years old, Lansky score ≥ 50%.
- Calculated creatinine clearance > 70 ml/min.
- Bilirubin < 1.5 mg/dL (unless benign congenital hyperbilirubinemia or hemolysis).
- Alanine transaminase (ALT) < 3 x upper limit of normal (ULN).
- For patients > 18 years old, pulmonary function (spirometry and corrected diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide [DLCO]) > 60% predicted. For patients =< 18 years old, or any patient unable to perform pulmonary function tests, O2 saturation > 92% on room air.
- Left ventricular ejection fraction > 50%.
- Albumin > 3.0 g/dL.
- For patients > 18 years old, Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation Comorbidity index (HCT-CI) =< 5.
- UCB units will be selected according to current umbilical cord blood graft selection algorithm. One or two UCB units may be used to achieve the required cell dose.
- The UCB graft is matched at 4-6 HLA-A, B, DRB1 antigens with the recipient. This may include 0-2 antigen mismatches at the A or B or DRB1 loci. Unit selection based on cryopreserved nucleated cell dose and HLA-A, B, DRB1 using intermediate resolution A, B antigen and DRB1 allele typing.

- Pregnancy or breast feeding.
- Patient or guardian unable to give informed consent or unable to comply with the treatment protocol including appropriate supportive care, long-term follow-up, and research tests.
