Summary

This trial is testing the side effects of total bone marrow and lymphoid irradiation and how well it works with cyclophosphamide in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with acute myeloid leukemia in first or second complete remission. Participants must have a matched sibling or unrelated donor for stem cell transplant, good heart and kidney function, and no recent chemotherapy or radiation. They should not be pregnant, agree to use contraception, and be able to give informed consent.
What is being tested?
The trial tests total marrow and lymphoid irradiation followed by a stem cell transplant from a donor, along with cyclophosphamide treatment. It aims to see how well this approach works compared to traditional whole-body radiation therapy in treating leukemia without harming other organs.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include damage to bone marrow resulting in low blood counts, risk of infections due to weakened immune system post-transplant, potential organ inflammation from radiation exposure, nausea from chemotherapy drugs like cyclophosphamide, and fertility issues.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (TMLI, cyclophosphamide)Experimental Treatment8 Interventions
Patients undergo TMLI BID on days -4 to 0, then undergo bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell transplant on day 0. Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on days 3 and 4, tacrolimus given by CIV on days 5-90, and filgrastim beginning on day 5 until ANC is at least 1,500/mm\^3 for 3 consecutive days.
