New hope for Hard-to-Treat lymphoma: phase 3 trial launches
NCT ID NCT07011056
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This phase 3 trial tests a new drug called purinostat mesylate against an existing drug, selinexor, in 390 adults with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Participants receive either purinostat mesylate by infusion or selinexor by mouth. The study aims to see which drug works better at shrinking tumors and improving survival.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- purinostat mesylate
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with hard-to-treat diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who have not responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a phase 3 trial, but it compares a new drug to another existing drug, so the benefit may be modest. Side effects are possible, and the drug may not work for everyone.
