Summary: This paper is concerned with the commutant of unbounded operators
affiliated with finite von Neumann algebras. We prove an unbounded
Fuglede-Putnam type theorem and present examples of closed operators affiliated with
some $\mathrm{II}_1$ factor with trivial relative commutant in the factor.
