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

Summary

This early-phase study is testing an experimental drug called GNC-038, a quad-specific antibody designed to attack cancer cells from multiple angles. It is for people with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma or acute lymphoblastic leukemia who have not responded to other treatments. The main goals are to check the drug's safety, find the right dose, and see if it shrinks tumors.

Active substance

GNC-038 (a quad-specific antibody injection)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with blood cancers that have not responded to standard therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 47 participants, so it is primarily testing safety and dosing. The antibody may not work well or could cause serious side effects.
