CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Jan. 25, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Magenta Therapeutics (Nasdaq: MGTA) today announced that the latest participant dosed at the Cohort 3 level (0.08 mg/kg) in the ongoing MGTA-117 Phase 1/2 Dose-Escalation Clinical Trial in relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) experienced a Grade 5 Serious Adverse Event (SAE) (respiratory failure and cardiac arrest resulting in death) deemed to be possibly related to MGTA-117.
