About this study

Official title: Ruxolitinib and Decitabine-Enhanced Conditioning Versus Modified Bu/Cy or BuF Conditioning for the Impact on Relapse of Acute Myeloid Leukemia in First Complete Remission (CR1)After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation: A Multicenter, Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

This study aims to determine whether the recurrence rate of high-risk acute myeloid leukemia CR1 patients who received allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with the Ruxolitinib, Decitabine combined with Bu/Cy or BuF intensive pretreatment regimen is reduced compared with the traditional Bu/Cy or BuFpretreatment regimen.

Read the detailed description

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the only radical treatment for high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but the traditional Bu/Cy pretreatment regimen is highly toxic and has a high recurrence rate after transplantation (the long-term survival rate is only 10-30%). Although the existing improved regimens such as sequential chemotherapy can reduce the leukemia burden, they lead to prolonged myelosuppression time (17-39 days) and a non-relapse mortality rate as high as 17.2%. There is an urgent need to develop new pretreatment regimens that have both strong anti-leukemia effects and low toxicity.

Studies have found that the JAK-STAT signaling pathway is generally abnormally activated in hematological tumors such as AML. The objective response rate of Ruxolitinib (a JAK1/2 inhibitor) as a monotherapy for relapsed/refractory leukemia reached 45%. When combined with the demethylated drug decitabine, it can synergistically inhibit leukemia cells. Clinical data show that decitabine reduces the recurrence rate after transplantation by 20% (15.0% vs 38.3%), and the combination of the two has good safety. The main adverse reaction is grade 1-2 hematological toxicity.

Our center innovatively proposed the Rux-Dec-mBu/Cy or BuF combined regimen: integrating Ruxolitinib (step-based dose reduction) and decitabine (20mg/m²/d) on the basis of the classic Bu/Cy or BuF. Previous single-arm studies have shown that the one-year recurrence rate of CR1 patients is 0%, and the incidence of toxicity above grade 3 is less than 11%. This study intends to conduct a multicenter randomized controlled trial to verify the superiority of this regimen in reducing recurrence after transplantation in patients with high-risk AML CR1. Its core advantage lies in simultaneously achieving anti-leukemia enhancement (through JAK-STAT targeting and epigenetic regulation) and controllable toxicity (The median grain deficiency time was shortened to 14 days).

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. GRFS

    GVHD-free, relapse-free survival (GRFS) was defined as a composite endpoint of death from any cause, disease relapse, grade Ⅲ-Ⅳ acute GVHD, or chronic GVHD requiring systemic immunosuppression therapy.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (13)
  1. Cumulative recurrence rate (CIR)

    Calculated from the first day after stem cell infusion to the last follow-up, the number of patients with hematological or MRD recurrence/the total number of cases ×100%. The definition of hematological recurrence: After remission, patients present with one of the following three conditions: (1) ≥5% of primary lymphocytes and immature lymphocytes in the bone marrow; (2) Extramedullary leukemia occurs; (3) Leukemia cells were found in peripheral blood smears. The definition of MRD recurrence: Leukemia cells are detected by flow cytometry or molecular biology.

    Measured: 1 years after transplantation

  2. Progression-Free Survival(PFS)

    The time from the date of transplantation to the recurrence of leukemia or death for any reason.

    Measured: 1 years after transplantation

  3. CR rate

    The proportion of bone marrow in complete remission from the first day after stem cell infusion to +30 days.

    Measured: 30 days after transplantation

  4. The incidence of aGVHD

    Calculated from the first day after stem cell infusion, the time from the occurrence of aGVHD, the time of recurrence or death. The actual incidence rate is the number of patients who occur/the total number of cases ×100%.

    Measured: 100 days after transplantation

  5. The incidence of cGVHD

    Calculated from the first day after stem cell infusion, the time from the occurrence of cGVHD, the time of recurrence or death. The actual incidence rate is the number of patients who occur/the total number of cases ×100%.

    Measured: 1 years after transplantation

  6. Disease-free survival rate (DFS)

    Disease-free survival rate (DFS) refers to the survival period without evidence of recurrence or progression.

    Measured: 1 years after transplantation

  7. Treatment-related safety indicators

    Mainly include bacterial infection, viral infection, fungal infection, and PTLD from the time calculated after transplantation to the last follow-up.

    Measured: 1 years after transplantation

  8. Non-relapse mortality

    Non-relapse mortality (NRM) was defined as death from any cause other than disease relapse.

    Measured: 1 year

  9. The cumulative incidence of virus reactivation

    The cumulative incidence of virus reactivation by Day +180 days post-transplantation was defined as the proportion of virus reactivation occurring at any monitoring point during days 180 post-transplant.

    Measured: Day +180 days post-transplantation

  10. Graft failure

    Graft failure was defined as non-engraftment (ie, autologous reconstitution) or graft rejection (ie, secondary loss of donor chimerism) at +28 days

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Li-ping Dou, Dr. (86-10-66937079, lipingruirui@163.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

GRFS (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT07101588, which also lists 10 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Mar 2026.
