New hope: interferon drug may stop deadly blood cancers from coming back after transplant
NCT ID NCT07449286
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether the drug interferon-α can lower the chance of cancer returning in people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) who have a TP53 gene mutation. Participants must have had a stem cell transplant and show no signs of cancer two months later. The trial will enroll 100 people and track relapse rates over time.
