Trial of personalized treatment for older adults with AML
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This study uses a geriatric assessment to choose the best treatment for people aged 60 and older with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The goal is to tailor therapy based on your overall health and function.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years of age or older.
- You have been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or a related condition like myeloid sarcoma or MDS turning into AML.
- You have not been treated for AML before, but brief use of certain medicines (like hydroxyurea or low-dose cytarabine) is allowed.
- You must be willing to complete all study procedures.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study compares different treatment intensities for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are less able to handle strong chemotherapy. It aims to find the best approach for people with health issues like heart or lung problems that make standard chemo riskier.
This trial tests a gentler chemotherapy regimen before a stem cell transplant from a partially matched family donor for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are older or have health conditions that make standard transplants risky. The goal is to help patients achieve long-term remission with fewer serious side effects.
This trial tests a chemotherapy conditioning regimen called TBF before a haploidentical stem cell transplant (using cells from a partially matched family donor) in adults ages 55–75 with acute myeloid leukemia that has responded well to initial treatment. The goal is to see if this approach helps older patients tolerate transplant and achieve long-term remission.
This trial studies a gentler (“micro-”) transplant approach for people ages 60–74 with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are in remission and cannot safely have the usual stronger transplant conditioning. It may help reduce transplant risks while keeping the leukemia under control.
This study follows people aged 60 and older with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are receiving strong chemotherapy. It aims to learn more about their health outcomes and better understand the disease in this age group.
