First seen Apr 17, 2026 · Last updated May 13, 2026 · Updated 3 times

Summary

This study tests whether the antibiotic levofloxacin can safely lower infection risk in people with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are receiving chemotherapy as outpatients. About 75 adults will be randomly assigned to take levofloxacin or receive usual care. The main goal is to see if a larger study is possible, while also tracking infections and side effects.
