First seen Feb 05, 2026 · Last updated May 15, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study tested a drug called inotuzumab ozogamicin (Besponsa) in children with a type of leukemia (B-ALL) that still had small amounts of cancer cells after treatment. The goal was to see if the drug could wipe out those leftover cells. Only 5 children took part before the study was ended early. The drug targets a protein called CD22 found on most leukemia cells and delivers a strong chemotherapy directly to them.
