The aim of this study was to determine whether nonmyeloablative transplants (NMT) result in complete and sustained donor engraftment in patients with progressive hematologic diseases compared to patients with stable disease or who are in remission.
Low-dose total-body irradiation and fludarabine followed by hematopoietic cell transplantation from HLA-identical sibling donors do not induce complete T-cell donor engraftment in most patients with progressive hematologic diseases.
