Recruiting PHASE1 Acute Myeloid Leukemia

New treatment option for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

Official title Trial for Patients w/ Advanced Hematologic Malignancies Undergoing Allogeneic HCT

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06551584

What this study is testing

What is ORCA-T?

ORCA-T is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for acute myeloid leukemia.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
The study goal is to characterize the safety of the combination of Orca-T with dual agent GVHD prophylaxis.
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
