First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 17, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study is testing if adding a drug called venetoclax to the standard chemotherapy given before a donor stem cell transplant works better for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The goal is to kill more cancer cells before the transplant to help prevent the cancer from coming back. Researchers are comparing two different timing schedules for the drugs to see which one is more effective and safer.
