Discovering an effective new treatment for a rare type of leukemia

Carfecti has been shown to be significantly more effective than current patient options, and can be used safely at an early stage of treatment.
The study showed that in the clinical trial, half of the patients received “Carvikti”, while the second half were given a combination of currently commonly prescribed drugs, including chemotherapy and steroids, and concluded that after following the patients over a period of 16 months, it was found that “Ciltacaptagon Otolucel” reduces the risk of The disease progressed by 74%, compared to standard treatments.
