About this trial

This phase II trial studies the effect of venetoclax together with busulfan, cladribine, and fludarabine in treating patients with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome who are undergoing stem cell transplant. Chemotherapy drugs, such as venetoclax, busulfan, cladribine, and fludarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Adding venetoclax to the current standard of care stem cell transplant regimen of busulfan, fludarabine, and cladribine may help to control high-risk acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

1-year progression free survival (PFS)

The proportion of patients who are alive without disease relapse (PFS) at one year will be reported along with the corresponding 95% credible interval. Cox proportional hazards regression will be used to assess the association between PFS and clinical and treatment covariates of interest.

Time frame
At 1 year post-transplant

Secondary outcomes

1

Overall survival (OS)

OS will be calculated from the time of transplant by the method of Kaplan and Meier.

Time frame
Up to 3 years post-transplant
2

Graft-versus (vs.)-host disease-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS)

GRFS will be calculated from the time of transplant by the method of Kaplan and Meier.

Time frame
Up to 3 years post-transplant
3

Time to platelet engraftment

The time to platelet engraftment will be calculated from the time of transplant and estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method.

Time frame
From the time of transplant up to 3 years
4

Time to neutrophil engraftment

The time to neutrophil engraftment will be calculated from the time of transplant and estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method.

Time frame
From the time of transplant up to 3 years
