A Study to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of Escalating Doses of AGS67E Given as Monotherapy in Subjects With Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML)

• Status: Terminated
• Trial end date: 2017-11-21
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of AGS67E in subjects with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and determine a safe dose for future development. In addition, this study will assess the pharmacokinetics (PK), the immunogenicity, and the anti-leukemic activity of AGS67E.

• Phase: Phase 1
