Using interferon-α to prevent relapse in myeloid malignancies after stem cell transplantation

Official title: Interferon-α for Preventing Relapse in TP53+ Myeloid Malignancy Post Allo-HSCT

Run by Peking University People's Hospital · NCT06130579 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study is testing if a treatment called interferon-α can help prevent relapse in patients with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome who have a specific gene mutation and are in remission after a stem cell transplant.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are individuals aged 12-65 with MDS or AML and a TP53 mutation who are in remission and have no minimal residual disease post-transplant.

Probably not a fit

Patients with severe organ dysfunction, uncontrolled graft-versus-host disease, or other malignancies requiring treatment 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 study investigates the effectiveness of interferon-α as a preventive treatment for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who have a TP53 mutation and are in remission after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The trial focuses on patients who are negative for minimal residual disease (MRD) as determined by flow cytometry within two months post-transplant. The goal is to determine if interferon-α can reduce the relapse rate in this specific patient population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly lower the risk of relapse in patients with TP53-mutated myeloid malignancies after transplantation.

How similar studies have gone: While the use of interferon-α in this context is novel, previous studies have shown promise in using similar approaches for other malignancies.
