Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a serious blood cancer that mainly affects older adults. For patients who achieve their first complete remission (CR1), allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) may provide a chance for long-term survival. However, relapse after transplantation remains a major challenge.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of a conditioning regimen that combines thiotepa, busulfan, and fludarabine (TBF) before haploidentical peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (haplo-PBSCT) in elderly patients with AML in first complete remission.
Eligible patients will receive the TBF conditioning regimen followed by stem cell transplantation from a partially matched donor. Participants will be followed to assess relapse-free survival, overall survival, transplant-related complications, and infections.
The results of this study may help improve treatment strategies and outcomes for elderly AML patients undergoing transplantation.
