💬In plain words
What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
The study is a Phase II clinical trial. Patients will receive intensity-modulated total marrow irradiation (TMI) at a dose of 9 Gray (Gy) with standard myeloablative fludarabine intravenous (IV) and targeted busulfan (FluBu4) conditioning prior to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) prophylaxis will include Cyclophosphamide on Day +3 and +4, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil.
