Summary

This early-phase study tested the safety of a drug called flotetuzumab in 3 adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that had returned after a stem cell transplant. The drug targets a protein on leukemia cells and was given as a continuous infusion. The main goal was to find a safe dose, not to prove the drug works.
