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.
