PRO-DLI

Study design/summary: This is a 2 arm, phase II, multicentre, randomised prospective clinical trial in adult patients with acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who are suitable for a reduced intensity stem cell transplant

There are also other objectives in addition to the primary one which include; overall survival; rate at which disease returns (relapse); incidence of acute and chronic graft versus host disease (GvHD); percentage of patients achieving a full number of donor cells; questionnaires about quality of life; freedom from immunosuppression drugs and incidence of complications from infections all at or during one year.
