   (ix) Have minimal residual disease by flow cytometry, FISH, detection of disease related mutations or cytogenetic abnormality after first course of induction chemotherapy (x) Have relapsed after prior allogeneic hematopoietic transplant

   AND

   b. Patients must be in one of the following (i) CR: complete remission, (ii) CRi: CR with incomplete hematologic recovery, or (iii) MLFS: morphological leukemia-free state with less than 5% bone marrow blasts.

   (iv) If not in either of the above i-iii, then may be in either of the following:
   1. Primary induction failure with partial response to therapy who achieve adequate cytoreduction
   2. Aplastic/hypoplastic marrow with or without detectable persistent disease after induction chemotherapy or after salvage chemotherapy

   Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS):

   a. De novo MDS with intermediate or high-risk IPSS scores, chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML) or treatment-related MDS. Patients with intermediate-1 features should have failed to respond to hypomethylating agent therapy. .

   Patients must have less than 10% bone marrow blasts

   Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML):

   3. Intolerant of available TKIs
5. Performance score of at least 70% by Karnofsky or 0 to 1 by ECOG.
6. Adequate major non-hematopoietic organ system function as demonstrated by:

   1. Serum creatinine clearance equal or more than 50 ml/min (calculated with Cockcroft-Gault formula).
   2. Bilirubin equal or less than 1.5 mg/dL except for Gilbert's disease. ALT or AST equal or less than 200 U/L for adults. Conjugated (direct) bilirubin less than 2x upper limit of normal.
   3. Left ventricular ejection fraction equal or greater than 45%.
   4. Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) equal or greater than 60% predicted corrected for hemoglobin.
7. Ability to understand and willingness to sign the written informed consent document.
8. Sexually active males and females of childbearing potential must agree to use a form of contraception considered effective and medically acceptable by the Investigator while on study.

2. Uncontrolled infections; PI is the final arbiter of this criterion.
3. Liver cirrhosis.
4. CNS involvement within 3 months prior to the transplant.
5. Positive pregnancy test in a woman with child bearing potential defined as not post-menopausal for 12 months or no previous surgical sterilization.
6. Inability to comply with medical therapy or follow-up.
7. Patient with a known history of allergic reactions to any constituents of the product, including a known history of allergic reactions to cellular products or DMSO.
8. Other malignancy/cancer diagnosis with active disease or in remission and \<2 years ago, not including nonmelanoma skin cancer
