Can a targeted drug plus donor immune cells fight back against relapsed leukemia?
NCT ID NCT03374332
First seen Jul 23, 2026 · Last updated Jul 24, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is for adults with relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who have no standard curative options. Researchers are testing whether giving the drug gemtuzumab ozogamicin followed by an infusion of donor white blood cells can stimulate the immune system to attack the leukemia. The study first checks safety in a small group, then may enroll more participants to see if the combination leads to remission.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- gemtuzumab ozogamicin followed by donor leukocyte infusions
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a treatment option for people with relapsed AML who have no other curative choices.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial testing safety and dosing, so it may not lead to a proven treatment. Risks include toxicities from the drug or the donor cell infusion.
