Summary

This trial is studying how well total body irradiation works when given with CLAG-M chemotherapy reduced-intensity conditioning regimen before stem cell transplant in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or chronic myelomonocytic leukemia that has come back or does not respond to treatment.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-75 with certain blood cancers (AML, MDS, CMML) that are resistant to treatment or have returned after treatment. They must have a related donor for stem cell transplant, be in good physical condition with no severe heart, liver or kidney issues and not pregnant. A suitable donor without strong immune reactions against the patient's cells is needed.
What is being tested?
The trial tests two chemotherapy regimens (CLAG-M and FLAG-Ida) combined with low-dose total body irradiation before a stem cell transplant from a donor. The goal is to see how well this approach works for treating relapsed/refractory blood cancers by making space in bone marrow for new cells and potentially eliminating remaining cancer.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions to chemotherapy drugs like fatigue, nausea, hair loss; complications from radiation such as skin irritation; risks associated with stem cell transplants like infection risk increase due to weakened immunity and graft versus host disease where the donated cells attack the patient's own tissues.
