First seen Jul 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing an experimental drug called ONO-7018 in people with relapsed or refractory Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The drug works by blocking a protein called MALT1 that may help lymphoma cells grow. The study aims to see if the drug is safe and tolerable, and how it behaves in the body.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ONO-7018, a MALT1 inhibitor tablet taken by mouth
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with Non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has not responded to standard therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early phase 1 trial with only 2 participants, so safety and effectiveness are not yet known. The drug may cause side effects or fail to shrink tumors.
