Double-Punch immune therapy tested for tough leukemia cases

NCT ID NCT03160079

Summary

This study tested whether adding the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab to the drug blinatumomab could help adults with a specific type of leukemia that has returned or not responded to prior treatments. The goal was to see if the combination could get more patients into remission and keep them there longer than blinatumomab alone. It involved 16 adults with a high amount of leukemia cells in their bone marrow.
