NCT ID NCT06498973

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-phase trial tests whether combining tagraxofusp (a drug that targets CD123 on cancer cells) with azacitidine (a drug that helps bone marrow make normal cells) can safely prevent relapse in people with CD123-positive acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome after a donor stem cell transplant. About 43 adults aged 18-75 will take part. The main goals are to find the best dose and check for side effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

tagraxofusp (CD123 antibody toxin congregate) and azacitidine

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new maintenance option to help prevent leukemia or MDS from returning after a stem cell transplant.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 43 participants, so safety and dosing are still being figured out. The combination may cause side effects or not work better than current options.
