Details

This trial was looking at reduced intensity stem cell transplants using thymoglobulin. It was for people who had poor risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and acute myeloid leukaemia (AML).

If you can't have full stem cell transplant, you may have a mini transplant. The chemotherapy is less intensive, so they are sometimes called reduced intensity transplants.
