Tagraxofusp and Azacitidine for Maintenance Treatment in Patients with CD123 Positive AML and MDS Following Donor Hematopoietic Cell Transplant

Trial Status: active

This phase Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose and effectiveness of tagraxofusp in combination with azacitidine as maintenance therapy in treating patients with CD123 positive acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after a donor (allogeneic) hematopoietic cell transplant. An allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) is a type of transplant where the cancer patient receives cells from another person. Maintenance therapy is given after the transplant to prevent the cancer from coming back. Tagraxofusp is a drug that targets cells that have CD123 on their surface in order to kill the cancer cells to help prevent the cancer from coming back. Azacitidine is in a class of medications called demethylation agents. It works by helping the bone marrow to produce normal blood cells and by killing abnormal cells. Giving tagraxofusp in combination with azacitidine may be safe, tolerable and/or effective maintenance therapy in patients with CD123 positive AML and MDS after an allogeneic HCT.
