Experimental lymphoma drug ASTX660 tested in tiny, terminated trial

NCT ID NCT04362007

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-phase trial tested the drug ASTX660 in just 8 people with T-cell lymphoma that had returned or not responded to prior treatments. The study aimed to find a safe dose and check for side effects, but it was stopped early. Because it was so small and incomplete, we cannot draw firm conclusions about whether ASTX660 works.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

ASTX660

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with T-cell lymphoma that has not responded to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This was a very early, small trial that was terminated early, so we don't have enough data to know if ASTX660 is safe or effective. Many early-stage cancer drugs fail in larger studies.
