Study of a conditioning regimen for older adults with hard-to-treat leukemia or MDS
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a chemotherapy combination (Clad-LABU) to prepare older patients for a stem cell transplant. It is for people aged 50 or older with relapsed or refractory AML or high-risk MDS.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 50 years of age or older.
- You have acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or did not respond well to treatment, or you have myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).
- Your heart, liver, and kidneys are working well enough (based on standard blood tests and heart imaging).
- You have a suitable stem cell donor identified (related or unrelated).
- Your overall health status allows you to care for yourself (performance status score of 0, 1, or 2).

This trial tests a type of stem cell transplant (using cells from a partially matched donor and umbilical cord blood) for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The goal is to help patients whose disease is high-risk, has returned after treatment, or hasn't responded well to chemotherapy.
This trial tests a combination of total body irradiation and two chemotherapy drugs (busulfan and melphalan) given before a stem cell transplant. It is for people with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back or not responded to standard treatment.
This trial tests a new combination of chemotherapy drugs before a stem cell transplant for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first remission who are not very fit or have other health problems. The goal is to make the transplant safer for these patients.
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy (FLAG-Ida) followed by low-dose total body radiation and a stem cell transplant from a donor. It is for people age 60 and older with newly diagnosed high-risk blood cancers, aiming to improve outcomes with a less intense transplant preparative regimen.
This trial tests a strong chemotherapy and radiation combo followed by a donor stem cell transplant for people with aggressive blood cancers (like AML or MDS) that haven't responded to earlier treatments or came back. It aims to help prevent the cancer from returning.
This Phase 1 trial tests a specific chemotherapy plan followed by a reduced-intensity donor stem cell transplant for people with relapsed or treatment-resistant acute myeloid leukemia (AML), certain myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia (CMML). It may help by using donor stem cells to rebuild the bone marrow after intensive cancer treatment, in people who are not responding well to standard therapies.
