Phase III |
FHCRC-1992 NCT00322101 |
The purpose of this research study is to compare treatment using low-dose chemotherapy and total-body irradiation with treatment using high-dose chemotherapy, in patients who are undergoing donor stem-cell transplant for myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
A computer will randomly assign participants to either a high-dose (the conventional treatment) or lower-dose (non-myeloablative) treatment plan on this study.
Most of the care will be given at the Seattle Cancer Care Alliance (SCCA) outpatient clinic. If hospitalization is needed while in Seattle, participants will be admitted to the UW Medical Center or Children’s Hospital and Regional Medical Center.
Treatment will last approximately 3 ½ months, but could last longer.
Participants may be asked to return for follow-up 6 months after the transplant, and every year thereafter. Blood and bone marrow samples may be requested after the participant returns home, for up to 5 years. These samples will be requested at the same time as the participant’s regularly scheduled doctor visits.
