Experimental cocktail targets Hard-to-Treat lymphoma
NCT ID NCT05626322
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This early-phase trial tested a combination of three drugs—maplirpacept, tafasitamab, and lenalidomide—in 6 people with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that had returned or not responded to prior treatment. Participants could not have a stem cell transplant or CAR-T therapy. The goal was to find a safe and effective dose of maplirpacept when added to the other two drugs. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
What this could mean

- Active substance
- maplirpacept (PF-07901801), tafasitamab, and lenalidomide
- What this could lead to
- If this combination works, it could offer a new treatment option for people with DLBCL who cannot have a stem cell transplant or CAR-T therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small trial (only 6 participants) that was terminated, so results are limited. The combination may cause serious side effects and may not work for everyone.
