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 Recruiting Trial: A Study to Compare Elritercept With Epoetin Alfa to Treat Anemia in Adults With Very Low, Low, or Intermediate Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) Who Need Regular Blood Transfusions

Researchers are testing a new drug called elritercept to see if it works better than a standard treatment (epoetin alfa) for anemia in adults with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS)—a blood disorder where the bone marrow doesn't make enough healthy blood cells. People in this study have low, very low, or intermediate risk MDS and need regular blood transfusions. The trial is now accepting patients.

WHY IT MATTERSThis Phase 3 trial is actively recruiting adults with MDS who require transfusions, offering access to an investigational treatment that may reduce their dependence on blood transfusions.
