New drug combo aims to tackle Hard-to-Treat lymphoma
NCT ID NCT07691606
First seen Jul 09, 2026 · Last updated Aug 27, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests a new drug called ARC-02, given together with rituximab, in adults with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma whose cancer has not responded to at least two prior treatments. The main goals are to check the safety of ARC-02 and find the best dose, while also looking at whether it can shrink tumors. The trial is early-stage, so it focuses on side effects and how the drug moves through the body, not yet on a cure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ARC-02 (given by IV infusion) plus rituximab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma who have not responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial focused on safety and dosing, so it is not yet known whether ARC-02 will effectively shrink tumors or improve outcomes. Side effects are possible and will be closely monitored.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. A documented diagnosis of B-cell Non- Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) per 2016 World Health Organization criteria and disease requiring treatment: 1. Follicular lymphoma (FL), Grades 1 through 3B 2. Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) 3. Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) 4. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) 5. Other B-cell NHL 2. Measurable disease. 3. Received at least 2 prior lines of systemic therapies and not eligible to receive additional standard of care therapies. 4. An Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) ≤ 2 at screening. 5. Adequate organ function within 3 days of the first dose of study intervention. 6. A negative blood pregnancy test within 7 days prior to first dose of study intervention (for women of childbearing potential). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Receiving an investigational product or participating in any other type of medical research judged not to be compatible with this study. 2. Grade \> 1 neuropathy 3. History of interstitial lung disease (ILD)/pneumonitis requiring treatment or any evidence of active ILD/pneumonitis. 4. Use of: 1. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, small molecule, investigational, and biologic agents (including CD79b-directed agents) within 28 days (or at least 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter), prior to the first dose of the study intervention. 2. Any live or live-attenuated vaccine within 28 days before the first dose of the study intervention. 5.
