Summary
This trial seeks to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of administering Decitabine and Filgrastim after HCT to treat children and young adults with myelodysplastic syndrome and related disorders.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and young adults aged 1 to 39 with myeloid malignancies like AML or MDS, who are undergoing stem cell transplants. They must be in remission, HIV-positive patients on effective therapy can join, as well as those with treated hepatitis B or C. Pregnant women cannot participate, and participants need a good performance status without severe heart disease.
What is being tested?
The study tests the feasibility of using decitabine (a DNA methylation inhibitor) combined with filgrastim (a bone marrow stimulant) after stem cell transplant to prevent cancer relapse in young patients with certain blood disorders.
What are the potential side effects?
Decitabine may cause side effects such as low blood counts leading to increased infection risk, bleeding issues, tiredness, and nausea. Filgrastim can lead to bone pain, headaches, fatigue and sometimes enlarge the spleen or cause allergic reactions.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort B: inherited bone marrow failure (iBMF) with Increased Risk for treatment related toxicitiesExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants with MDS, AML, AML/MDS, tAML/MDS with iBMF with increased risk for treatment related toxicities will be enrolled and will undergo study procedures as outlined:
* Cycles 1: Study treatment must occur 40 - 120 days post allogenic HCT.
* Day 2 - 6 of 28-day cycle: Predetermined dose of Decitabine.
* Day 1 - 6 of 28-day cycle: Predetermined dose of Filgrastim.
* Cycles 2 - 6:
* Day 2 - 6 of 28-day cycle: Predetermined dose of Decitabine.
* Day 1 - 6 of 28-day cycle: Predetermined dose of Filgrastim.
* Follow up visit every 6 months for 24 months post allogenic HCT.
Group II: Cohort A: Standard RiskExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants with MDS, AML, AML/MDS, treatment related myeloid neoplasm (tAML/MDS) with either idiopathic disease or inherited bone marrow failure syndrome (iBMF) with standard risk for treatment related toxicities will be enrolled and will undergo study procedures as outlined:
* Cycles 1: Study treatment start must occur 40 - 120 days post allogenic HCT.
* Day 2 - 6 of 28-day cycle: Predetermined dose of Decitabine.
* Day 1 - 6 of 28-day cycle: Predetermined dose of Filgrastim.
* Cycles 2 - 6:
* Day 2 - 6 of 28-day cycle: Predetermined dose of Decitabine.
* Day 1 - 6 of 28-day cycle: Predetermined dose of Filgrastim.
* Follow up visit every 6 months for 24 months post allogenic HCT.
