Acute Myeloid Leukemia, Myelodysplastic Syndromes, Transplant-Related Hematologic Malignancy
Conditions
Brief summary
FLAT-Auto is a phase II trial. fludarabine and ARA-C will be combined with the alkylating agent treosulfan (FLAT), to investigate the feasibility and the efficacy of a new regimen, supported with autologous peripheral blood SCT (PBSCT), as final postremission consolidation in AML/MDS elderly patients.
Interventions
Fludarabine i.v. 30 mg/m²/d day -6 to -2
Cytarabine i.v. 2 g/m²/d day -6 to -2
Treosulfan i.v. 10 g/m²/d day -6 to -4
Autologous stem-cell transplantation i.v.: day 0 (source: peripheral blood) Pegylated-Filgrastim s.c. 6 mg day +3
