Efficacy and safety of TmBU conditioning for high-risk leukemia patients

Official title: A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Clinical Study on the Efficacy and Safety of the TmBU Regimen Versus mBUCY Regimen for Conditioning Before Allo-HSCT in High-risk or Relapsed/Refractory Acute Leukemia

Run by The First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University · NCT06816134 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing a new treatment approach for high-risk leukemia patients to see if it helps them stay cancer-free after a stem cell transplant better than the current method.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are patients aged 15-65 with high-risk or relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia or acute lymphoblastic leukemia who meet specific eligibility criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients with low-risk leukemia or those outside the age range of 15-65 years may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of the TmBU conditioning regimen compared to a modified Bu/Cy regimen in patients with high-risk or relapsed/refractory acute leukemia. It is a prospective, single-center, randomized controlled study involving patients aged 15 to 65 years who are candidates for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The primary endpoint is the two-year cumulative incidence of relapse after transplantation, while secondary endpoints include overall survival, progression-free survival, non-relapse mortality, and graft-versus-host disease-free relapse-free survival rates.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve treatment outcomes and survival rates for patients with high-risk acute leukemia.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have explored conditioning regimens in leukemia treatment, but the specific TmBU regimen is relatively novel.
