Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of anti-PR1/HLA-A2 monoclonal antibody Hu8F4 (Hu8F4) in treating patients with malignancies related to the blood (hematologic). Monoclonal antibodies, such as Hu8F4, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread.

Eligibility Criteria

This trial is for adults with advanced blood-related cancers like certain types of leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or myelofibrosis. Participants must have specific genetic traits (HLA-A2), failed previous treatments, and be in good enough health to tolerate the study drug. Pregnant women are excluded and contraception is required during the trial.

Treatment Details

The trial tests Hu8F4, a monoclonal antibody that may block cancer growth. It's in phase I to determine safe dosage levels and side effects. Patients will undergo lab biomarker analysis and pharmacological studies to see how well Hu8F4 works against their cancer.
