ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how different genetic factors can influence the best maintenance therapy after patients receive a stem cell transplant for conditions like acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The trial will involve 126 participants who are between the ages of 14 and 75. They will be grouped based on specific genetic test results from their bone marrow to see how effective and safe different treatment plans are in helping them maintain their health after the transplant.

To join the trial, participants need to have had their first stem cell transplant recently and be in complete remission, meaning there are no signs of the disease. They also should not have any severe infections or other serious health issues that could complicate their treatment. Participants can expect to receive personalized therapy based on their genetic profile and will be closely monitored throughout the study. It's important for potential participants to understand that they will need to agree to follow specific instructions and attend follow-up visits.

• • 2. Presence of acute or chronic GVHD, active infection requiring systemic immunosuppressive therapy prior to maintenance therapy;
• • 3. Have clinically significant active cardiovascular disease such as uncontrolled arrhythmias, uncontrolled hypertension, congestive heart failure, any grade 3 or 4 heart disease as determined by the New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class, or a history of myocardial infarction within the 6 months prior to screening;
• • 4. Other serious medical conditions that may limit the patient's participation in this trial (e.g., uncontrolled diabetes, active autoimmune disease, etc.);
• • 5. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, or chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (HBsAg-positive) or hepatitis C virus (anti-HCV-positive) that is uncontrolled by drugs;
