Targeted radiation blitz aimed at boosting stem cell transplant success for toughest blood cancers

NCT ID NCT03121014

Summary

This study is testing whether adding a precise, targeted form of radiation to the standard pre-transplant drug regimen can improve outcomes for adults with high-risk forms of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The goal is to better prepare the body to accept donor stem cells and reduce the chance of the cancer returning after the transplant. The main measure of success is how many patients survive for one year without their cancer relapsing.
