Full Title
A Phase I Trial of SGN-CD33A in Patients with CD33-positive Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to identify the highest dose of an investigational drug called SGN-CD33A that can be given safely in patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has persisted or returned despite standard therapy, or is not being treated with high-dose induction chemotherapy. SGN-CD33A has two parts: one (an antibody) that attaches to a protein called CD33 on the surface of cancer cells (including AML) and another (an anticancer drug) that kills the cancer. SGN-CD33A is given intravenously (by vein).

- This study is open to patients age 18 and older.
