New immunotherapy MK-1045 enters first human trial for Hard-to-Treat lymphoma

NCT ID NCT06189391

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

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing a new drug called MK-1045 (CN201) in about 100 people whose B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma has returned or stopped responding to treatment. MK-1045 is an immunotherapy designed to help the immune system fight the cancer. The main goals are to check the drug's safety, find the best dose, and see if it shows any signs of working.

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), an immunotherapy drug given by IV infusion

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back or stopped responding to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early (Phase 1) trial with only 100 participants, so it is not yet known if MK-1045 is safe or effective. Side effects could be serious, and the drug may not work for everyone.
