First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 21, 2026 · Updated 25 times

Summary

This study tests whether giving patients with hard-to-treat acute myeloid leukemia (AML) specially trained immune cells (memory-like NK cells) after a half-matched donor stem cell transplant can keep the cancer away longer. About 60 adults whose leukemia did not respond to standard chemotherapy or came back will receive this cell therapy. The goal is to see if more patients can stay cancer-free for at least 100 days after transplant.
