NCT ID NCT06996119
First seen May 14, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-phase trial tests whether adding emapalumab to standard medications can safely prevent graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in 15 adults with acute myeloid leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome receiving a reduced-intensity donor stem cell transplant. Emapalumab blocks an immune protein to reduce inflammation, while the other drugs suppress the immune system. The study focuses on safety and side effects, not a cure, as patients will need ongoing immune suppression.
