Stronger chemo and radiation before stem cell transplant for leukemia
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a stronger chemotherapy and radiation regimen before a donor stem cell transplant for people with acute myeloid leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. The goal is to eliminate any remaining cancer cells and improve transplant success.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You have acute myeloid leukemia or a high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome that has come back or is not responding to treatment, or you have leftover disease after treatment.
- You have a brother, sister, or unrelated donor who is a close match and willing to donate stem cells or bone marrow.
- Your heart, lungs, liver, and kidneys are working well enough for the procedure.
- You agree to use effective birth control during the trial and for 6 months after.

This trial tests a precise type of radiation called intensity modulated total marrow irradiation before a stem cell transplant. It aims to destroy cancer cells while reducing side effects for patients with high-risk leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.
This trial tests a new type of radiation therapy called automated total marrow and lymphoid irradiation (TMLI) given before a stem cell transplant. It's designed to treat blood cancers like leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome by destroying cancer cells and preparing the body to accept donor stem cells.
This trial tests a conditioning regimen (total marrow and lymphoid irradiation, fludarabine, and melphalan) before a donor stem cell transplant for people with high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome or acute myeloid leukemia. It aims to reduce side effects while still controlling the disease.
This trial tests a stem cell transplant using milder chemotherapy (treosulfan and fludarabine) followed by a drug called cyclophosphamide to prevent graft-versus-host disease. It aims to make transplant safer for people with blood diseases who cannot handle standard high-dose chemotherapy.
This trial tests a special transplant approach for people with high-risk acute leukemia. It uses a stronger dose of radiation before transplant, followed by an infusion of immune cells (regulatory and conventional T cells) to help the transplant work better and fight the leukemia.
This trial tests a stronger chemotherapy combination before a donor stem cell transplant for people with certain blood cancers (like AML, MDS, or CMML) that have spread to other parts of the body, such as the skin, testicles, or central nervous system. The goal is to see if this approach can improve outcomes for patients whose disease is in remission.
