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

Summary

This early-phase trial is testing a drug called tegavivint in about 18 people with large B-cell lymphoma that has come back or not responded to standard treatments. The drug works by blocking certain enzymes that help cancer cells grow. The main goals are to find a safe dose and check for side effects, while also watching for any signs that the tumors shrink.
