MM indicates multiple myeloma; MDS, myelodysplastic syndrome; NHL, non-Hodgkin lymphoma; CLL, chronic lymphocytic leukemia; HD, Hodgkin disease; AML, acute myeloid leukemia; CML, chronic myelogenous leukemia; ALL, acute lymphocytic leukemia; G-PBMC, granulocyte colony-stimulating factor-mobilized peripheral blood mononuclear cells; CMV, cytomegalovirus; —, not applicable; TBI, total body irradiation; Cy, cyclophosphamide; Bu(t), busulfan (targeted); TMI, total marrow irradiation (modified TBI); GVHD, graft-versus-host disease; CSP, cyclosporine; MMF, mycophenolate mofetil, MTX, methotrexate; TMTX, trimetrexate.
Low risk disease includes CML in first chronic phase; AML or ALL in first complete remission; early MDS (refractory anemia or refractory anemia with ringed sideroblasts); or agnogenic myeloid metaplasia/myelofibrosis without prior treatment. High-risk disease includes all other classifications
High-risk CMV indicates patient CMV+; Low/intermediate risk, patient- and the donor- or+21
