Promising combo for tough leukemia stalls: trial ends early

NCT ID NCT05464836

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial tested two drugs, CB-103 and venetoclax, in adolescents and young adults with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) that had come back or not responded to treatment. The goal was to see if the combination could control the disease. However, the study was terminated early after enrolling only 2 participants, so results are very limited.

What this could lead to
