New hope for tough lymphomas: experimental drug targets cancer protein
NCT ID NCT06090539
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a new drug called BMS-986458, which works by breaking down a protein that helps lymphoma cells grow. It is being tested alone or with other lymphoma drugs in people whose non-Hodgkin lymphoma has returned or not responded to prior treatments. The trial aims to find safe doses and see if the drug can shrink tumors. About 460 adults will take part across multiple centers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- BMS-986458 (a drug that targets and breaks down a protein in lymphoma cells), given alone or with other anti-lymphoma drugs like rituximab, glofitamab, mosunetuzumab, epcoritamab, or golcadomide
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has not responded to or returned after prior therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial (phase 1/2) with a small number of participants, so the drug may not work or may cause unexpected side effects. The study is testing multiple combinations, which adds complexity and uncertainty.

Inclusion Criteria: * Participants ≥ 18 years of age with frontline or R/R NHL. * Participant must have measurable disease (defined by at least one FDG-avid lesion for FDG-avid disease and one bi-dimensionally measurable disease on cross sectional imaging by computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging with at least one lesion \> 1.5 cm in the transverse diameter). * Participants must accept and follow pregnancy prevention plan. Exclusion Criteria: * Participants must not have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≥ 2. * Participants with an inability to comply with listed restrictions, precautions and prohibited treatments. * Participants must not have prior CAR-T, or radiotherapy ≤ 4 weeks, systemic anticancer treatment ≤ 5 half-lives or 4 weeks, allogeneic SCT ≤ 6 months (only applicable to BMS-986458 single agent or rituximab combination cohorts), or autologous SCT ≤ 3 months prior to study intervention initiation. * In BMS-986458 + T-cell engager combination cohorts: Participants must not have prior alloSCT or solid organ transplantation, history of confirmed progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML); known or suspected history of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH); known or suspected chronic active Epstein-Barr (EBV) infection. * Participants must not have any condition, including significant acute or chronic medical illness, active or uncontrolled infection, or the presence of laboratory abnormalities, that places participants at unacceptable risk if participating in this study. * Participants must not have known or suspected central nervous system involvement. * Other protocol-defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria apply.
