CMV CTLs: The donor derived cytomegalovirus specific T lymphocytes (CMV-CTL) will be transfused to the patients. The patients will receive CMV-CTL cells when their donors are sero-positive for CMV-DNA 21 days after transplant. The CMV-DNA levels will be monitored weekly for at least 100 days after the HAPLO. If after the initial dose of CMV-CTL cells the patient develops a viral infection, then they may be eligible to receive a CMV specific antiviral drug.
Study summary
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality for recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT). Recently, strategies based on immunotherapy adoptive cells (IAC) with anti-CMV Cytolitic T Lymphocytes (CMV-CTLs) has been incorporated to prevent or treat CMV after HSCT. The aim to study donor derived CMV-CTLs after haploidentical HSCT (HAPLO) as prophylaxis for CMV infection in transplant patients. CMV-CTLs will be administer at day 21 (+-7 days) post-HAPLO. CMV DNA levels with quantitative PCR will be weekly monitored.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Adult patients who received an alogeneic stem cell transplantation from haploidentical donors (HAPLO).
* Any source of stem cells (peripheral blood or bone marrow).
* CMV-seropositive donors.
* Negative pregnancy test in women.
* Signed writen informed consent.
* DONORS:
1. HLA haploidentical and CMV-seropositve donors.
2. Donor must be checked and suitable.
3. Signed writen informed consent.
4. Donor without active infection evidence at leukapheresis.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Patients without haploidentical CMV-seropositive donors.
* Patients who are not suitable for follow up visits.
CMV-CTLs Infusion Criteria:
* Hematopoiesis recovery at least partial (neutrophil counts \>0.5x10\^9/L in at least 3 consecutive samples post-transplant).
CMV-CTLs NON-Infusion Criteria:
* Patients receiving corticosteroid (dose of 0.5mg/kg/day of prednisone or equivalent) at infusion.
* ECOG \> or = 3.
* Organic toxicities grade \> or = 3.
* Patients who received ATG, donor lymphocytes or alemtuzuamb, 28 days pre-infusion.
* Patients with uncontroled infection defined by fevers and/or inestability and/or infection not resolved.
* Persistent fevers 3 days before infusion.
* Acute Graft Versus Host Disease (GVHD) grade II-IV.
* Relapse or progression after transplant and before infusion day.
* CMV reactivation/infection after transplant and before infusion day.
Patients who don´t fill infusion criteria, after day 28 post-HAPLO, will be considered screening failures and will be out of the study.
Primary outcome measure(s)
100-days incidence of CMV infection — From date of CMV-CTLs infusion to 100 days after transplant Viral load \>200 copies in 1 sample
