Targeted therapy combo aims to improve survival in older leukemia patients
NCT ID NCT03249870
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding the targeted drug inotuzumab ozogamicin to a milder chemotherapy regimen improves survival in adults over 55 with a specific type of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that is Philadelphia chromosome-negative and CD22-positive. Participants receive the drug during the first two treatment cycles only, followed by standard chemotherapy. The main goal is to see how many patients are alive after one year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- inotuzumab ozogamicin
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this combination could offer a more effective and less toxic treatment option for older adults with this leukemia, potentially improving survival rates.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase 2 study, so results are preliminary. The drug may cause side effects like liver toxicity or infections, and the benefit may not be confirmed in larger trials.
