New imatinib variant tested for CML: could it be better?

NCT ID NCT05623774

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

Summary

This completed Phase 1 trial tested a new drug called IkT-001Pro in 64 healthy adults aged 18 to 55. The goal was to see if it works like the standard CML drug imatinib in the body. Participants took single doses of both drugs at different times to compare how they are absorbed and processed. The study also checked for safety and side effects.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

IkT-001Pro (a new form of imatinib)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could lead to a new version of imatinib that may be easier for patients to take or have fewer side effects.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 1 study in healthy volunteers, not patients. It only checks if the drug behaves similarly in the body, not if it actually treats CML. Many drugs fail in later stages.
