ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is exploring a new treatment using a type of immune cell called induced pluripotent stem cells derived natural killer (iNK) cells for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has come back or not responded to previous treatments. The goal is to see if these specially developed immune cells can help fight the cancer more effectively. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it is aimed at adults aged 18 to 80 who have specific types of AML, including those who have had their cancer return after treatment or have not responded to at least two prior therapies.

To join the study, participants must be willing and able to understand the process and sign consent forms. They should not have any serious infections, heart, liver, or kidney problems, and should not have any current neurological issues. Participants will be monitored closely throughout the trial and will receive detailed information about what to expect during the treatment and follow-up periods. This trial represents a hopeful step forward for patients facing difficult-to-treat forms of AML.
