Study Summary
This trial is studying the best dose of sorafenib to give with busulfan and fludarabine in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia.
Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-70 with recurrent or unresponsive acute myeloid leukemia, suitable for donor stem cell transplant. Must have a matched sibling or unrelated donor, normal organ function tests, and agree to contraception. Excludes those with certain heart conditions, bleeding disorders, other cancers within 3 years (except some skin/bladder cancers), major surgery within the last month, and inability to take oral medication.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of sorafenib combined with busulfan and fludarabine in patients undergoing stem cell transplants for acute myeloid leukemia that has returned or is treatment-resistant. It aims to find the best dose of sorafenib that can block cancer growth when used alongside chemotherapy drugs.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include risks associated with bone marrow transplantation like infection and graft-versus-host disease. Sorafenib may cause rash, diarrhea, high blood pressure; chemotherapy can lead to nausea, fatigue, mouth sores.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (sorafenib, busulfan, fludarabine, HSCT)Experimental Treatment8 Interventions
PRE-STEM CELL INFUSION: Patients receive sorafenib orally PO QD or BID on days -24 to -5, busulfan IV over 3 hours on days -20 and -13 and -6 and -3, and fludarabine IV over 1 hour on days -6 to -3 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
STEM CELL INFUSION: Patients receive allogeneic HSCT IV in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
POST-STEM CELL INFUSION: Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 3 hours on days 3 and 4, tacrolimus PO BID beginning day 5 for about 50 days, filgrastim SC on day 7 and sorafenib PO BID beginning between days +30 and +120 for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients with matched unrelated donor receive mycophenolate mofetil PO TID or IV over 2 hours TID beginning on day 5 for up to 90 days for longer.
