Summary

This study tested a chemotherapy combination containing cladribine for people whose acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) had returned or not responded to prior treatment. The goal was to see if the treatment could wipe out signs of the disease in the bone marrow. The study was stopped early, but data from 53 participants was collected to measure remission rates and survival.
