First seen Apr 22, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study tested a new treatment for adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that had come back or not responded to standard therapy. It used donated natural killer (NK) cells, a type of immune cell, given by infusion along with a drug called IL-2 to boost their activity. The goal was to see if this combination could safely reduce leukemia cells in the bone marrow. The study was stopped early, but it aimed to control the disease rather than cure it.
