Chemoradiotherapy + Stem Cell Transplant for Blood Cancers
This trial is giving chemotherapy drugs and HT before a donor stem cell transplant to see if it helps stop the growth of cancer cells and also helps stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells.
Dietary Supplement
Vitamin C for Myelodysplastic Syndrome
This trial tests if taking vitamin C daily can help patients with certain low-risk blood cancers. These patients often have low vitamin C levels, which might affect their DNA. By boosting vitamin C, the study aims to see if it can improve DNA health and slow cancer progression. Vitamin C has been studied for its potential effects on cancer prevention and treatment, with some evidence suggesting it may improve quality of life and defense reactions in cancer patients.

Luspatercept vs Epoetin Alfa for MDS-related Anemia
This trial will compare luspatercept to epoetin alfa to see if luspatercept is more effective in increasing hemoglobin and reducing the need for RBC transfusions in patients with anemia due to MDS.
Anti-metabolites
Cedazuridine + Azacitidine for Leukemia
This trial tests a new pill form of two drugs, cedazuridine and azacitidine, for patients needing azacitidine treatment. The goal is to see if the pill is as effective as the injection. Cedazuridine helps azacitidine work better by preventing its breakdown, and azacitidine stops cancer cells from growing.

Epoetin Alfa vs Luspatercept for Myelodysplastic Syndrome
This trial is testing two treatments, Luspatercept and epoetin alfa, to see which is better for treating anemia in adults with certain types of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS). The participants have not used similar treatments before and do not need regular blood transfusions. Luspatercept helps red blood cells mature, while epoetin alfa increases their production.
