c.Blast crisis (myeloid or lymphoid) with disease control

Lymphoma fulfilling one of the following criteria:
a.Chemotherapy-sensitive (complete or partial response) lymphomas that have failed at least 1 prior regimen of multi-agent chemotherapy and are INELIGIBLE for an autologous transplant.
b.Marginal zone B-cell lymphoma or follicular lymphoma that has progressed after at least two prior therapies (excluding single agent Rituxan).
3.Patients must have a partially HLA-matched CBU: the unit must be HLA-matched at 4-6/6 HLA class I (HLA-A & HLA-B, low resolution) and II (HLA-DRB1, high resolution) loci with the patient. The CBU must have a pre-cryopreserved, total CD34+ cell dose of ≥10 x10^6 as well as a pre-cryopreserved total nucleated cell dose of ≥1.8x10^9 and ≥1.8x10^7 TNC/kg. The CBU will have undergone volume reduction (both plasma and red blood cell depletion) prior to cryopreservation.
4.Patients must have an additional partially HLA-matched CBU, or two CBUs, reserved as a backup in case of batch failure. The backup CBU/s must be HLA-matched at 4-6/6 HLA class I (HLA-A & HLA-B, low resolution) and II (HLA-DRB1, high resolution) loci with the patient, and must have a pre-cryopreserved, total nucleated cell dose of at least 2x10^7 per kilogram, in case of one CBU, or 3x10^7 per kilogram, in case of two CBUs.
5.Patients must have a related, haplo-identical family member who is suitable for bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell donation and has agreed to do so in the event of graft failure.
6.Subjects’ Performance score ≥70% by Karnofsky/Lansky
7.Patient has sufficient physiologic reserves including:
a)Cardiac: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of >40% by echocardiogram, radionuclide scan or cardiac MRI
b)Pulmonary function tests demonstrating FVC and FEV1 of >50% of predicted for age and DLCO > 50% of predicted
c)Renal: Creatinine clearance test (by Cockcroft-Gault equation) ≥60 mL/min
d)Hepatic: Serum Bilirubin < 2.0 mg/dl; Hepatic transaminases (ALT and AST) < 3 x upper limit of normal range
8.Females of childbearing potential, defined as any female who has experienced menarche and is not postmenopausal or permanently sterilized (e.g. tubal occlusion, hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy), agree to use an appropriate method of contraception from at least 7 days prior to myeloablative therapy until completion of follow-up procedures. An appropriate method of contraception is defined as one that results in a low failure rate (i.e., less than 1 percent per year) when used consistently and correctly, such as implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intrauterine contraceptive devices (IUDs), sexual abstinence, or a vasectomized partner.
9.Patient (or legal guardian) signs the written informed consent after being aware of the nature of the patient’s disease and willingly consents to the treatment program after being informed of alternative treatments, potential risks, benefits, and discomforts.

2. CLL/SLL diagnosis
3. MDS or CML with "marked" or "3+" fibrosis
4. Less than 21 days have elapsed since initiation of the patient's last chemotherapy regimen and the initiation of the stem cell transplant preparative regimen (intrathecal agents, hydroxyurea, tyrosine kinase inhibitors, hypomethylating agents and rituximab, not considered chemotherapy)
