FIGARO: A Randomised Trial of the FLAMSA-BU CondItioning ReGimen in Patients with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia and Myelodysplasia UndeRgoing AllOgeneic Stem Cell Transplantation

Trial Overview and Summary

Treatment options for older adults with Acute Myeloid Leukaemia and Myelodysplasia are limited. Although stem cell transplantation remains one of the most effective treatments it is associated with severe side effects which have until recently prevented its use in older adults. Recent studies in Europe appear to have identified a new form of transplant regimen which is associated with improved outcomes in older patients; we therefore propose to compare the new FLAMSA-BU transplant with currently used transplant regimens, allowing us to compare the benefits in terms of toxicity, disease relapse and overall survival.
