About this trial
This study will evaluate whether processing blood stem cell transplants using an investigational device (the CliniMACS system) results in less complications for patients undergoing transplant for treatment of a blood malignancy (cancer) or blood disorder.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Incidence rate of graft versus host disease (GvHD)
Incidence of acute and chronic GvHD
Severity of disease
Severity of the adverse events will be reported based on the CTCAE Version 5.
Incidence of transplant-related mortality (TRM)
TRM includes fatal complications resulting from the allogeneic transplant and/ or treatment regimens such as graft failure, GvHD, hemorrhages, and infections.
Change in overall survival (OS)
OS is defined as time from transplant to death or last follow-up.
Secondary outcomes
Proportion of patients optimal and suboptimal doses
The proportion of patients receiving optimal cell doses (CD34+: \>5x 10\^6/kg and CD3+: \< 5 x10\^4/kg) and suboptimal doses (CD34+: \<3 x 10\^6/kg and CD3+: \>5 x 10\^4/kg).
