First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 2 times

Summary

This early-stage trial tested a new drug called NC525 in people with advanced myeloid neoplasms, including relapsed or refractory acute myeloid leukemia. The main goal was to check safety and tolerability, with a secondary focus on whether the drug could shrink tumors or improve survival. The study was terminated after enrolling 28 participants.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

NC525 (a monoclonal antibody targeting LAIR-1)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with advanced blood cancers that have not responded to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial focused on safety, so it is unknown if NC525 will effectively treat the disease. The trial was terminated, meaning results may be limited.
