- Compensation
- Not stated
- Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
- Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
- Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.

About this study
In plain language
This study tests whether signs of cancer left before a donor stem cell transplant can help guide treatment to keep cancer from coming back. It is for adults with certain blood cancers. Based on test results, patients may or may not be advised to get ongoing treatment after transplant.
This is a prospective, open-label investigation to determine whether measurable residual disease (MRD) guided assignment of maintenance therapy is effective in patients with myeloid malignancies undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT). Pre-HCT, patients will undergo usual disease assessments which should include immunophenotypic and/or molecular testing. Based on the results of these tests, patients may or may not be recommended to receive maintenance therapy post-transplant, depending on the presence or absence of a residual malignant clone.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
Eligibility
Who can join
- Be at least 18 years old at the time of transplant.
- Have a myeloid cancer (a cancer of blood-forming cells), myelodysplastic syndrome, a myeloproliferative neoplasm (including myelofibrosis), acute myeloid leukemia, or biphenotypic acute leukemia.
- Before transplant, have at least one test that looks for unusual immature blood cells or cancer-related gene changes. Tests may include flow cytometry, next-generation sequencing (NGS), or PCR testing for gene changes found earlier.
- Be able to understand the written consent form and be willing to sign it.
