New study analyzes best donor match for AML stem cell transplants
NCT ID NCT07155382
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This completed study looked at 98 adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in first remission who received a stem cell transplant from a matched sibling, matched unrelated, or half-matched family donor. All patients got the same chemotherapy conditioning before transplant. Researchers tracked engraftment, graft-versus-host disease, infections, leukemia relapse, and survival to see how donor type and other factors influenced outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- busulfan, fludarabine, antithymocyte globulin
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors choose the best donor type and conditioning regimen for AML patients needing a stem cell transplant.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a test of a new treatment. It cannot prove what works best, only suggest patterns. Results may not apply to all patients.

Inclusion Criteria: 3.1. Patients with non-promyelocytic AML, intermediate- or poor-risk categories by NCCN ver 2 (2016) guidelines (Appendix I), who achieve CR after induction chemotherapy. 3.2. Patients should be 16 years of age or more, and 75 years of age or less. 3.4. The performance status of the patients should be 70 or over by Karnofsky performance scale (Appendix II). 3.5. Patients should have adequate hepatic function (bilirubin less than 2.0 mg/dl, AST less than three times the upper normal limit). 3.6. Patients must have adequate renal function (creatinine less than 2.0 mg/dl). 3.7. Patients must have adequate cardiac function (ejection fraction \> 40% on MUGA scan). 3.8. Patients must sign informed consent. Donor selection process (See appendix III) 3.9. Donor selection process may begin before or when the patients achieve CR. 3.9.1. If a patient has a willing HLA-matched sibling of 65 years or younger, that sibling will be a cell donor. 3.9.2. If a patient has no HLA-matched sibling of 65 years or younger, but a willing HLA- matched unrelated donor is available (younger than 55 years as regulated by KMDP), this will be a cell donor. The donor must be matched with the patient for 7-8 of 8 HLA-A, -B, -C, and -DRB1 allele match. 3.9.3. If a patient does not have an HLA-matched sibling nor unrelated donor, but an HLA- haplotype mismatched family member (offspring, parents, haploidentical sibling) available, this will be a cell donor. 3.9.4. Hematopoietic cell donor must sign informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: Patients who do not meet the inclusion criteria \-
