Luveltamab Tazevibulin for Myeloid Leukemia
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new treatment, luveltamab tazevibulin, for a rare type of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in infants and children. The aim is to determine if this treatment is safe and effective for children whose leukemia did not respond to previous treatments or recurred. This drug targets cancer cells with a specific genetic glitch (CBFA2T3::GLIS2) and delivers a cancer-fighting agent directly to them. Children under 12 with this specific type of leukemia, unresponsive to other treatments, might be suitable candidates for this trial. As a Phase 1, Phase 2 trial, this research focuses on understanding how the treatment works in people and measuring its effectiveness in an initial, smaller group, offering participants a chance to access a potentially groundbreaking therapy early on.
Do I need to stop my current medications for the trial?
The trial information does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications. However, it does exclude those who have had certain treatments recently, so it's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial team.
Is there any evidence suggesting that luveltamab tazevibulin is likely to be safe for humans?
Research has shown that luveltamab tazevibulin has been tested in patients with a type of leukemia similar to the one in this trial. In one study, 25 patients with hard-to-treat leukemia received doses of 4.3 or 5.2 mg/kg. The treatment was generally well-tolerated, with most patients not experiencing severe side effects. Common side effects included mild nausea and tiredness, which were manageable.
As this treatment is in early trials, researchers continue to study its safety. Its testing in humans suggests it demonstrated some safety in earlier stages. This treatment targets cancer cells specifically, potentially reducing harm to healthy cells. This targeted approach often minimizes severe side effects.12345Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising for myeloid leukemia?
Unlike the standard treatments for myeloid leukemia, which typically involve chemotherapy and targeted therapies like FLT3 inhibitors, Luveltamab Tazevibulin offers a novel approach. This drug is unique because it specifically targets and disrupts the leukemia cells' microtubules. By interfering with the cell division process, Luveltamab Tazevibulin is designed to stop cancer cells from multiplying. Researchers are excited about this treatment because it has the potential to be more selective and less damaging to healthy cells, possibly leading to fewer side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy.
What evidence suggests that luveltamab tazevibulin might be an effective treatment for myeloid leukemia?
Initial studies suggest that luveltamab tazevibulin could be effective against certain types of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with a specific genetic trait. In this trial, participants will receive either 3.5 mg or 4.3 mg of luveltamab tazevibulin every two weeks. Research has shown that this treatment might help more than one-third of patients with this genetic form of AML reach MRD negativity, a state where very few leukemia cells remain in the body. Achieving MRD negativity can make patients eligible for further treatments like transplants. Luveltamab tazevibulin delivers an anticancer drug directly to cancer cells with a specific marker, making it a promising treatment option.14678

Are You a Good Fit for This Trial?
This trial is for infants and children under 12 with a rare form of Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML) that didn't improve or came back after treatment. They must have a specific genetic change in their leukemia cells, be able to do some activities on their own, and have organs working well.Inclusion Criteria

- Luveltamab Tazevibulin
Trial Overview
The trial tests Luveltamab tazevibulin, an experimental drug designed to target and kill leukemia cells with the CBFA2T3::GLIS2 gene fusion. It's an antibody-drug conjugate which means it delivers cancer-fighting medicine directly to the affected cells.
