CLN-049 for Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
CLN-049-001 is a Phase 1, open-label, multicenter, first-in-human trial of CLN-049 in patients with Relapsed/Refractory Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) or Myelodysplastic Syndrome (MDS)
Do I have to stop taking my current medications for the trial?
The trial protocol does not specify if you must stop taking your current medications. However, certain treatments like radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and some growth factors must be stopped before starting the trial. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial team.
What data supports the effectiveness of the drug CLN-049 for treating leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome?
Research shows that bispecific antibodies, like CLN-049, can effectively engage T-cells to target and destroy leukemia cells. Similar FLT3 x CD3 bispecific antibodies have demonstrated strong anti-leukemia activity by activating T-cells to attack cancer cells, suggesting potential effectiveness for CLN-049.12345
What safety data exists for the treatment CLN-049 (FLT3 x CD3 bispecific antibody) in humans?
The FLT3 x CD3 bispecific antibody, similar to CLN-049, has shown reversible blood-related side effects in animal studies, and bispecific antibodies in general have an acceptable safety profile in humans, though they can cause neurotoxicity (nerve damage) and cytokine-release syndrome (a severe immune reaction).15678
What makes the drug CLN-049 unique for treating leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome?
CLN-049 is a bispecific antibody that targets both FLT3, a protein on leukemia cells, and CD3, a protein on T-cells, to help the immune system attack cancer cells more effectively. This dual-targeting approach is different from traditional treatments and aims to improve outcomes by engaging the body's own immune response.12357
