phase i/ii study of treg/tcon addback to partially matched related donor stem cells with myeloablative conditioning and post-transplant cyclophosphamide for high risk hematologic malignancies

Conditions: High Risk Hematologic Malignancies

Summary: open label, dose finding trial to assess the efficacy of treg/tcon addback to partially matched related donor stem cells. the maximum tolerated dose will be established using 3 subjects per dose level, with an expansion cohort at the maximum tolerated dose.
