New Recruiting Trial: A Single-arm, Prospective Study of a Cladribine-Bridged LABU Conditioning Regimen in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Relapsed/Refractory MDS/AML in Elderly Patients

Researchers are testing a new treatment approach for elderly patients with a type of blood cancer (MDS or AML) that has come back or stopped responding to previous treatments. The study uses a combination of chemotherapy drugs followed by a stem cell transplant from a donor to try to help patients recover. This trial is now actively looking for patients to participate.

WHY IT MATTERSThis trial offers elderly patients with relapsed or refractory MDS/AML a potentially less toxic conditioning regimen before stem cell transplant — cladribine-bridged LABU may improve tolerability compared to standard high-dose approaches in this vulnerable population.

New Clinical Trial: Ready to Sail 2: A Pilot Study of Sail-Assisted Telerehabilitation in Rare Skeletal Diseases (NCT07102875)

Researchers are testing a new way to help young people with rare bone diseases get better. The program combines sailing therapy (being out on the water) with online rehabilitation exercises that patients can do at home. This study builds on earlier successful results and will compare two different treatment approaches to see which works best.

WHY IT MATTERSThis trial offers young patients with rare skeletal disorders access to an innovative rehabilitation model combining in-person sailing therapy with remote maintenance care, potentially improving outcomes beyond traditional therapy alone.
