Study Comparing the Efficacy of 2 RIC Regimens (Clofarabine vs Fludarabine) in Adults With AML Eligible to Allo-SCT

Registration Number
NCT05917405
Lead Sponsor
Nantes University Hospital
Brief Summary

Relapse remains the main cause of death in patients with myeloid malignancies, especially after an allotransplant. Using drugs with higher anti-leukemic activity as part of the conditioning regimen is one of the strategies to decrease relapse incidence in this population. Retrospective studies have shown that clofarabine can achieve impressive results compar...
