Radioactive antibody boosts transplant prep for tough leukemias

NCT ID NCT06287944

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-phase trial tests whether adding a radioactive antibody (225Ac-DOTA-daratumumab) to standard chemotherapy and targeted radiation can safely improve the conditioning regimen before a donor stem cell transplant. The study includes 15 adults with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia, acute lymphoblastic leukemia, or myelodysplastic syndrome. The goal is to find the best dose and see if the combination helps kill cancer cells more effectively while limiting side effects.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Radioactive antibody (225Ac-DOTA-daratumumab) plus chemotherapy (fludarabine, melphalan) and targeted radiation

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a more effective and safer conditioning regimen for stem cell transplant in high-risk blood cancers, potentially improving survival.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small phase 1 trial with only 15 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The radioactive antibody may cause serious side effects, and the treatment may not work better than standard approaches.
