First seen Jan 29, 2026 · Last updated Apr 29, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study tests a drug called gemtuzumab ozogamicin in people with acute myeloid leukemia who have tiny amounts of cancer left after initial treatment. The drug works like a guided missile, attaching to a protein on leukemia cells and delivering a chemotherapy payload to kill them. The goal is to see if it can clear these leftover cells and help patients achieve a deeper remission. About 36 participants will be enrolled.
