Reduced Intensity Conditioning for MDS

Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is the only potential cure for Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Currently, the conditioning regimen for MDS allogeneic transplantation still follows AML, and there are fewer explorations in this field. In a large-scale retrospective analysis with 532 MDS undergoing allo-HCT, reduced intensity conditioning is resulted in improved overall survival (OS), reduced non-relapse mortality (NRM) , while sparing relapse.

Therefore, the investigators conduct a prospective, single-arm, multicentre study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fludarabine-Melphalan-Busulfan reduced-intensity conditioning in MDS patients.

About this study

This study is a prospective, multicenterstudy designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of evaluate the efficacy and safety of Fludarabine-Melphalan-Busulfan intermediate-intensity transplantation conditioning regimen for the treatment of MDS. . Patients with MDS who are eligible for enrolment were pretreated with a Fludarabine-Melphalan-Busulfan regimen (Fludarabine 30mg/m2d-6 to -2; melphalan 70mg/m2d-6; busulfan 3.2mg/kg d-4 to -3). The primary endpoint is 2-year relapse-free survival (RFS) after transplantation. Secondary endpoints includes 2-year post-transplant survival (OS) and cumulative recurrence rate at 2 years post-transplant.

  • Active autoimmune diseases such as SLE, rheumatoid arthritis, etc;
  • Patients with neurological or psychiatric disorders;
  • The patient is pregnant or breastfeeding;
  • Those who are unable to understand or comply with the study protocol or are unable to sign the informed consent form.

Treatment and study plan

Fludarabine; melphalan; busulfan

Drug

The conditioning regimen includes fludarabine, busulfan, and melphalan, with a transplant conditioning intensity of 3.0. The RIC is used in the allo-HCT in the MDS patients.
