New hope for Hard-to-Treat lymphoma: drug cocktail enters human trials

NCT ID NCT07159906

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tests a combination of four drugs (homoharringtonine, a BCL-2 inhibitor, rituximab, and prednisone) in 62 adults with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The goal is to find the safest dose and see if the combo can shrink tumors. It's an early-phase trial, so results will guide future research.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Homoharringtonine, Lisaftoclax (BCL-2 inhibitor), Rituximab, and Prednisone

What this could lead to

If this works, it could offer a new treatment option for people with hard-to-treat lymphoma who have run out of standard therapies.

What could go wrong

This is an early-phase trial with only 62 people, so it's too soon to know if the combination is safe or effective. Side effects from the drugs could be serious.
