About this trial
This is an open-label, multi-center, single-arm clinical study evaluating the efficacy and safety of the VABu conditioning regimen in elderly patients (≥60 years) with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
The VABu regimen consists of Venetoclax, Azacitidine, Semustine, Cytarabine, and Busulfan. All enrolled participants will receive the VABu regimen as conditioning therapy prior to HSCT.
The study aims to enroll 20 participants from multiple centers in China. The primary objectives are to evaluate the overall response rate, cumulative relapse rate, overall survival, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD)-free relapse-free survival (GRFS), non-relapse mortality (NRM), incidence of acute and chronic GVHD, and reactivation rates of cytomegalovirus (CMV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Safety outcomes include treatment-related toxicities, such as bone marrow suppression, infection, and organ dysfunction.

Planned to undergo allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
Disqualifiers
Age < 60 years.
Poor response to prior Venetoclax-based therapy.

Treatments tested in this trial
VaBU
DrugThe VABu conditioning regimen is administered prior to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The regimen consists of the following drugs administered sequentially: Venetoclax: 600 mg/m² orally once daily on days -10 to -5. Azacitidine: 75 mg/m² subcutaneously once daily on days -10 to -6. Semustine: 250 mg/m² orally once on day -10. Cytarabine: 2 g/m² intravenously once daily on day -1. Busulfan: 0.8 mg/kg intravenously every 6 hours on days -4 to -2 (total of 12 doses). The conditioning regimen is completed before HSCT. Dose adjustments may be made based on toxicity, concomitant medications (especially CYP3A4 inhibitors), and individual patient tolerance.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Progression-free survival is defined as the time from the date of transplantation to the date of disease progression, relapse, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first. Participants who are alive without progression or relapse at the last follow-up are censored.
Secondary outcomes
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall survival is defined as the time from the date of transplantation to the date of death from any cause. Participants who are alive at the last follow-up are censored.
Cumulative Incidence of Relapse (CIR)
Non-relapse Mortality (NRM)
GVHD-free Relapse-free Survival (GRFS)
