OBJECTIVES: Primary * To estimate the incidence of graft rejection and severe graft-versus-host disease after myeloablative HLA-mismatched peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) from first-degree relatives in patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies. Secondary * To estimate overall survival, relapse, non-relapse mortality, and event-free survival in these patients. * To characterize additional hematologic and non-hematologic toxicities of myeloablative haploidentical PBSCT. * To characterize donor hematopoietic chimerism in peripheral blood stem cells after PBSCT. OUTLINE: * Preparative regimen: Patients receive fludarabine phosphate IV over 30 minutes on days -7 to -2, busulfan IV over 3 hours on days -7 to -4, and cyclophosphamide IV over 1-2 hours on days -3 and -2. * Allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT): Patients undergo infusion of unmanipulated peripheral blood stem cells on day 0. * Post-transplant regimen: Patients receive high-dose cyclophosphamide IV over 1-2 hours on days 3 and 4, tacrolimus IV over 24 hours or orally twice daily on days 5-180, and oral mycophenolate mofetil 3 times daily on days 5-34 followed by a taper to day 90. Treatment continues in the absence of disease progression or clinically significant graft-vs-host disease. After completion of PBSCT, patients are followed periodically for 1 year.
