NCT ID NCT03249870

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

Summary

This study tests whether adding the targeted drug inotuzumab ozogamicin to a milder chemotherapy regimen improves survival in adults over 55 with a specific type of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that is Philadelphia chromosome-negative and CD22-positive. Participants receive the drug during the first two treatment cycles only, followed by standard chemotherapy. The main goal is to see how many patients are alive after one year.
