Study Summary
This trial is testing the side effects and best dose of total marrow and lymphoid irradiation when given with fludarabine and melphalan before a donor stem cell transplant in people with high-risk acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with high-risk acute leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome who haven't had more than three intensive chemotherapy treatments and no previous transplants. Participants should be between 12-55 years old, have a certain level of physical fitness, and proper organ function. Women and men must use birth control during the study.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial tests how safe and effective it is to give total marrow and lymphoid irradiation with fludarabine and melphalan before a stem cell transplant from a donor. The goal is to see if this combination can help stop cancer growth in bone marrow before the transplant.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions to the drugs like nausea, fatigue, mouth sores, low blood counts leading to infection risk or bleeding problems. Irradiation may cause skin irritation or discomfort at the site of treatment.
