Brief summary
The purpose of this prospective phase III, open-label, randomized multi-center study is to evaluate one year transplant-related mortality (TRM) of AML patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation after a reduced toxicity conditioning regimen (I.V.BuFlu) as compared to the conventional I.V. BuCy2 program
Interventions
The purpose of this prospective phase III, open-label, randomized multi-center study is to evaluate whether AML elderly patients in CR undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) after a reduce toxicity conditioning regimen I.V. BuFlu [I.V. Bu (Busilvex), 12.8 mg/kg four times a day, for four days, plus Fludarabine, 40 mg/m² i.v. one time a day for four days] as compared to the conventional I.V. BuCy2 program [I.V. Bu (Busilvex), 12.8 mg/kg, four times a day, for four days, followed by Cyclophosphamide, 60 mg/kg iv one time a day for two days] will experience: 1. A lower transplant-related mortality (TRM) at 1 year after allogenic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) 2. A similar anti-leukemic activity and a similar or better safety profile
