What this phase means
Phase 1: the first tests in people. The main question is safety and dose, not whether it cures the condition. Groups are small. Side effects are watched closely.
Phase labels are FDA/ICH categories applied to the registry Phase field. They are not a finding that this study succeeded.
What the registry says happens
If you join, the listed intervention(s) are Biospecimen Collection, Busulfan, or Computed Tomography. The registry lists allocation as na. This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and effectiveness of emapalumab with post-transplant cyclophosphamide, tacrolimus, and mycophenolate mofetil in preventing graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) after reduced-intensity donor (allogeneic) hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT).
They plan to enroll about 15 people at Duarte. Taking part typically means taking a study drug (or dummy pill), an infusion or injection of a biologic, a procedure as part of the study plus check-ins.
