New shot for tough lymphomas shows early promise but trial halted

NCT ID NCT06018129

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 21, 2026 · Updated 38 times

Summary

This early-stage trial tested a new drug called GEN3017 in 9 people with CD30-positive lymphomas (Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin) that had returned or stopped responding to standard treatments. The drug was given as a shot under the skin. The main goals were to check safety and find the right dose. The trial was terminated early, so we have limited information on how well it works.

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

Active substance

GEN3017 (a bispecific antibody that targets CD3 and CD30, given as a shot under the skin)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with certain lymphomas that have not responded to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This was a very early (phase 1/2a) trial that was terminated after only 9 participants, so results are limited. The drug may cause serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome or nerve toxicity.
