NCT ID NCT05579132

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests a new drug called MK-1045 (CN201) in people with a type of blood cancer (B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia) that has come back or stopped responding to treatment. The trial has two parts: first, finding a safe dose, and then checking how well the drug works. About 203 participants, aged 2 and older, will receive the drug by IV infusion over several cycles.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

MK-1045 (also called CN201), a drug given by IV infusion

What this could lead to

If it works, this could provide a new treatment option for people with B-ALL whose cancer has returned or stopped responding to current therapies.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2) with a small number of participants, so the drug may not work as hoped or could cause serious side effects. The results may not apply to all patients.
