Participants With a Response Primary · Up to 5 years

Response rate as determined by the International Working Group recommendations. Complete remission (CR): The patient must be free of all symptoms related to leukemia and have an absolute neutrophil count \>/= 1.0 x 109/L, platelet count \>/- 100 x 109/L, and normal bone marrow differential (\</= 5% blasts). Complete remission without platelet recovery (CRp): As per CR but platelet count \< 100 x 109/L. Partial remission (PR): CR with 6 to 25% abnormal cells in the marrow or 50% decrease in bone marrow blasts. Marrow CR: Bone marrow: \</= 5% myeloblasts and decrease by \>/= 50% over pre-treatme

Sponsor's own description

This phase II trial studies how well daratumumab works in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia that has come back or does not respond to treatment or high-risk myelodysplastic syndrome. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as daratumumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.
