NCT ID NCT05470140
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-phase study tested a new treatment called WU-NK-101 in 9 adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that returned or didn't respond to standard therapy. The goal was to check safety and find the best dose. Participants received immune cells designed to attack cancer. This is not a cure, but aims to control the disease.
