Cancer drug trial stopped early: only 5 patients enrolled
NCT ID NCT03990961
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested the drug pembrolizumab in people with a hard-to-treat type of lymphoma (DLBCL) that has certain genetic changes in the PD-L1 gene. The goal was to see if the drug could shrink tumors. However, the study was stopped early after enrolling only 5 participants, so the results are very limited.
