Study Summary

This trial is studying the effects of tagraxofusp combined with low-intensity chemotherapy in treating patients with CD123 positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma that has come back or does not respond to treatment.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-70 with CD123 positive relapsed or refractory acute lymphoblastic leukemia or lymphoblastic lymphoma can join. They must have certain normal blood test results, no serious heart, liver, lung diseases, HIV, hepatitis B/C and agree to use effective birth control. Pregnant women and those with other life-threatening cancers cannot participate.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing tagraxofusp combined with low-intensity chemotherapy in patients whose leukemia or lymphoma has returned after treatment or hasn't responded to previous treatments. Tagraxofusp targets cancer cells by linking a toxin to IL3 which is present on the cells' surface.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions at the infusion site, general weakness, nausea, potential organ inflammation due to the targeted toxin in tagraxofusp as well as typical chemotherapy-related side effects like hair loss and increased risk of infection.
