Summary

This study looks at whether using stem cells from a younger, more distant relative leads to better survival than using cells from an older immediate family member for people with leukemia or MDS. About 232 participants will be randomly assigned to receive a transplant from either donor type. The goal is to find the best donor option when a perfect match isn't available.
