Leukemia trial pulled before it started: safer transplant prep remains untested
NCT ID NCT02577094
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial was designed to test a milder conditioning regimen using a radioactive antibody (90Y-Epratuzumab) followed by chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant for adults with CD22-positive B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The goal was to find the safest dose that still controls the disease. However, the study was withdrawn before any patients were enrolled, so no data were collected.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- 90Y-Epratuzumab (a radioactive antibody targeting CD22) combined with busulfan, fludarabine, and thymoglobulins
- What this could lead to
- If it had proceeded, this trial could have pointed toward a safer way to prepare patients for stem cell transplants, potentially reducing side effects while controlling leukemia.
- What could go wrong
- The trial was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available. The approach involves significant risks, including toxicity from radiation and chemotherapy, and it was only in early-phase testing.
