Summary

This study tests adding the targeted drug sorafenib to standard chemotherapy (busulfan and fludarabine) before a donor stem cell transplant for adults with acute myeloid leukemia that has returned or not responded to treatment. The goal is to find the safest dose of sorafenib and see if it helps patients live longer without the cancer coming back. About 74 participants will receive this combination, and researchers will monitor side effects and survival.
