NCT ID NCT07222579
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a drug called blinatumomab, given as a shot under the skin, for adults with a rare type of leukemia called mixed phenotype acute leukemia (MPAL). The trial includes three groups: newly diagnosed patients who cannot have strong chemo, patients in remission but with leftover cancer cells, and patients whose cancer came back or didn't respond to treatment. The goal is to see if the drug can help achieve remission or clear remaining cancer cells.
