NCT ID NCT05848687
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new treatment plan for infants (up to 12 months old) with a type of leukemia called acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The goal is to see if adding an immunotherapy drug called blinatumomab can better clear leukemia cells that remain after initial treatment. About 90 babies will take part to find the safest and most effective doses.
