New drug aims to keep leukemia away after transplant
NCT ID NCT06575296
First seen Jun 27, 2026 ยท Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial tests a drug called revumenib in people with acute leukemia who have had a stem cell transplant. The drug targets a protein that helps leukemia cells grow. The study will check safety, find the best dose, and see if it can stop the cancer from coming back. About 27 adults and children with specific genetic changes (KMT2A or NPM1 mutations) will take part.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only โ not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Revumenib (a menin inhibitor)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could help prevent leukemia from coming back after a stem cell transplant, offering a new maintenance option for patients with certain genetic mutations.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early (Phase 1) trial with only 27 participants, so safety and dosing are still being figured out. It may not work or could cause serious side effects.
