New transplant combo aims to outsmart relapsed leukemia
NCT ID NCT07572695
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at a stem cell transplant from a half-matched donor (haploidentical) combined with drugs to prevent the cancer from coming back. It includes 40 adults aged 18-65 with active AML that has returned or not responded to treatment. The goal is to see if this approach can reduce relapse and improve survival over two years.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- haploidentical stem cell transplant with targeted drugs and post-transplant maintenance
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this approach could offer a better chance of long-term survival for people with hard-to-treat AML who have few options left.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early observational study (40 people) at one center. The transplant carries serious risks like graft-versus-host disease and infection, and results may not apply to all patients.

Who is studied
This is a single-center prospective observational study enrolling adult patients (18-65 years) with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML) who have active disease (bone marrow blasts \>5% or extramedullary involvement) and are scheduled to undergo salvage haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (haplo-HSCT) at Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. The study population consists of high-risk AML patients with HCT-CI ≤5 who are eligible for intensive transplant therapy according to institutional practice.
