New trial aims to find safer chemo for stem cell transplants in leukemia patients

NCT ID NCT07025824

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests two chemotherapy drugs, treosulfan and melphalan, given before a stem cell transplant in 220 adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The goal is to see which drug works better at helping patients survive longer with fewer side effects. Participants will receive one of the two drugs along with fludarabine, and researchers will track survival, remission, and complications like graft-versus-host disease.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Treosulfan and Melphalan (chemotherapy drugs)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could show that treosulfan is a better option than melphalan for preparing patients with AML or MDS for a stem cell transplant, potentially improving survival and reducing complications.

What could go wrong

This is a phase 2 trial with 220 participants, so results are still early. The drugs may cause serious side effects like infections or graft-versus-host disease, and the study may not show a clear benefit for treosulfan.
