Summary

This study tests a drug called inotuzumab ozogamicin in 40 adults with B-cell acute lymphocytic leukemia who have minimal residual disease (small numbers of cancer cells left after treatment). The drug is an antibody that delivers a toxin directly to cancer cells. The goal is to see if it can prevent the cancer from coming back. Participants receive the drug intravenously, and researchers monitor side effects and how long they stay cancer-free.
