Stem cell transplant for acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 14–60 years old
- Diagnosed with AML in remission or relapsed/refractory AML, OR intermediate-to-high-risk MDS
- Never had a stem cell transplant before
- Healthy enough to handle a stem cell transplant (good heart, lung, liver, and kidney function)
- No active severe infections or concurrent cancer
- Able to give informed consent and attend follow-up visits

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a stem cell transplant from a matched sibling donor, followed by extra immune cells to help prevent relapse in people with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are in remission. It aims to improve outcomes by boosting the immune system's ability to fight any remaining leukemia cells.
This trial tests a stem cell transplant that uses specially selected cells (CD34+ cells) to treat myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), a blood disorder. The transplant comes from a donor and aims to replace unhealthy blood-forming cells with healthy ones, which may slow or stop the disease. It is designed for patients with higher-risk MDS or certain high-risk features.
This trial tests a special type of stem cell transplant that may help people with certain blood cancers or bone marrow diseases. The transplant uses donor stem cells that are specially selected to reduce the risk of complications. It might be an option for patients who need a transplant to treat their condition.
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 trial tests a stem cell transplant (using donor cells) for people with a high-risk form of acute myeloid leukemia called CBF-AML. The goal is to see if this transplant can help patients who have a higher chance of the leukemia coming back.
This trial tests whether a less intense chemotherapy and transplant plan can work for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who are getting a stem cell transplant. It may help reduce transplant-related harm, especially in people considered higher risk due to age or other health factors.
