Comparing high and low intensity therapies for relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia
Official title: A Prospective Multicenter Randomized Clinical Trial on the Treatment of Patients With Refractory or Early Relapses of Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Run by National Research Center for Hematology, Russia · NCT06418776 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing whether high-intensity or low-intensity therapies work better for adults with relapsed or hard-to-treat acute myeloid leukemia who are getting ready for a stem cell transplant.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older with primary refractory AML or early relapsed AML.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with late relapsed AML or those who have previously undergone allogeneic stem cell transplantation may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and toxicity of high versus low intensity therapy options in patients with refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or early relapses of AML who are scheduled for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. The study aims to determine which treatment approach yields better outcomes for these patients. Participants must be at least 18 years old and provide informed consent to join the trial.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved treatment options and outcomes for patients with relapsed or refractory AML.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in evaluating treatment intensities for AML, but this specific approach is being tested in a pragmatic setting, making it a novel contribution.
