Overview

This refers to a combination of chemotherapy agents—busulfan, cyclophosphamide, and fludarabine—evaluated in a randomized phase III clinical trial conducted by the Cooperative Study Group A for Hematology (COSAH). The trial compared two myeloablative conditioning regimens for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) in patients with leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS): intravenous busulfan plus cyclophosphamide (BuCy) and intravenous busulfan plus fludarabine (BuFlu). Busulfan and cyclophosphamide are alkylating agents that exert cytotoxic effects by cross-linking DNA, thereby inducing cell death. Fludarabine is a purine analog that inhibits DNA synthesis by targeting DNA polymerase and ribonucleotide reductase. The study aimed to compare the efficacy and toxicity profiles of these regimens, finding that while BuCy was associated with higher survival rates, BuFlu demonstrated a more favorable gastrointestinal toxicity profile.
