Venetoclax plus microtransplant for higher-risk MDS
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic clinical trials.
This study tests a combination of venetoclax (a targeted drug) with a mini stem cell transplant (called a microtransplant) using a partially matched donor. It is for people with higher-risk MDS who cannot have a standard transplant.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.
- You have MDS that is intermediate, high, or very high risk.
- You are not able to have or choose not to have a standard stem cell transplant from a fully matched donor.
- You have a relative (age 18+) willing to donate stem cells who is not a full match (only 3 to 7 out of 10 markers matching).
- Your heart, liver, and kidneys are working well enough to handle the treatment.
- You are not pregnant, nursing, or planning to become pregnant during the study.

This trial tests adding venetoclax to a standard “conditioning” chemotherapy plan before an allogeneic stem cell transplant (using a donor) for certain bone marrow cancers. It aims to improve how well the transplant works and how safe this combination is for people with MDS, CMML, or sAML.
This trial tests whether adding venetoclax (a pill that targets cancer cells) to the standard chemotherapy regimen before a stem cell transplant improves outcomes for people with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). It is for patients aged 12–60 whose cancer has specific high-risk features and who have a matched donor.
This early-phase study tests whether venetoclax combined with intensive chemotherapy can treat AML (acute leukemia) and certain advanced MDS. It’s for people who are newly diagnosed (or certain high-risk blood cancers) and can safely tolerate strong treatment.
This trial tests adding two new drugs, decitabine and venetoclax, to a standard reduced-intensity stem cell transplant for people with certain types of leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome. The goal is to see if this combination can improve outcomes.
This Phase 2 study tests a gentler weekly combination of two medicines—decitabine and venetoclax—for people with MDS, AML, or MDS/MPN. The goal is to improve blood counts and disease control while reducing side effects compared with more harsh treatments.
This trial tests combining the medicine Venetoclax with a mini stem-cell transplant from a partially matched relative for people with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It may help control the leukemia while reducing transplant side effects.
