Summary

This study tests a new combination of chemotherapy drugs (venetoclax, busulfan, cladribine, and fludarabine) given before a donor stem cell transplant in people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The goal is to kill cancer cells and make room for healthy donor stem cells to grow. The trial includes 116 adults aged 18-70 with a matched donor, and it measures how long patients stay cancer-free and any side effects.
