Overview

This study aims to determine whether the recurrence rate of high-risk acute myeloid leukemia CR1 patients who received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with the Ruxolitinib, Decitabine combined with Bu/Cy or BuF intensive pretreatment regimen is reduced compared with the traditional Bu/Cy or BuFpretreatment regimen.

Description

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only radical treatment for high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but the traditional Bu/Cy pretreatment regimen is highly toxic and has a high recurrence rate after transplantation (the long-term survival rate is only 10-30%). Although the existing improved regimens such as sequential chemotherapy can reduce the leukemia burden, they lead to prolonged myelosuppression time (17-39 days) and a non-relapse mortality rate as high as 17.2%. There is an urgent need to develop new pretreatment regimens that have both strong anti-leukemia effects and low toxicity.

Studies have found that the JAK-STAT signaling pathway is generally abnormally activated in hematological tumors such as AML. The objective response rate of Ruxolitinib (a JAK1/2 inhibitor) as a monotherapy for relapsed/refractory leukemia reached 45%. When combined with the demethylated drug decitabine, it can synergistically inhibit leukemia cells. Clinical data show that decitabine reduces the recurrence rate after transplantation by 20% (15.0% vs 38.3%), and the combination of the two has good safety. The main adverse reaction is grade 1-2 hematological toxicity.

Our center innovatively proposed the Rux-Dec-mBu/Cy or BuF combined regimen: integrating Ruxolitinib (step-based dose reduction) and decitabine (20mg/m²/d) on the basis of the classic Bu/Cy or BuF. Previous single-arm studies have shown that the one-year recurrence rate of CR1 patients is 0%, and the incidence of toxicity above grade 3 is less than 11%. This study intends to conduct a multicenter randomized controlled trial to verify the superiority of this regimen in reducing recurrence after transplantation in patients with high-risk AML CR1. Its core advantage lies in simultaneously achieving anti-leukemia enhancement (through JAK-STAT targeting and epigenetic regulation) and controllable toxicity (The median grain deficiency time was shortened to 14 days).

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
