This trial is for people aged 1–60 with eligible acute or related blood cancers in remission, or previously treated myelodysplastic syndrome. An HLA-matched stem-cell donor is required; some radiation-based regimens limit age to 50.

The idea: compare removing naive T cells from donor grafts against cyclophosphamide after transplant to reduce graft-versus-host disease. Conditioning and other immune-suppressing medicines differ by group. Researchers measure survival without relapse or serious graft-versus-host disease.

This phase 2 study plans 120 patients. Marie Bleakley leads at Fred Hutchinson in Seattle, with three recruiting US sites. Two arms are discontinued.
