New hope for tough leukemia: experimental drug AZD0486 enters human trials
NCT ID NCT06137118
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests an experimental drug called AZD0486 in adolescents and adults whose B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) has returned or not responded to at least two prior treatments. The trial has three parts: first, finding a safe dose; second, optimizing that dose; and third, testing the best dose in a larger group. The main goals are to check safety and see if the drug can achieve complete remission within three cycles of treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- AZD0486 (a drug given by IV infusion)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia that has come back or not responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial (Phase 1/2) with only 236 participants, so the drug may not prove effective or safe enough for wider use. Side effects, including serious ones, are possible.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age: 12 years and above (Parts A, B, C and D). * Participants with B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia with CD19 expression by local lab with: 1. Bone marrow infiltration with \>/= 5% blasts 2. Either relapsed or refractory after a minimum of 2 prior therapies or after 1 prior line of therapy if no SOC available option (Parts A, B, C); or relapsed or refractory to ≥1 prior line of therapy (Part D). 3. Philadelphia positive participants are allowed in all parts of the study, if intolerant or refractory to TKIs. * For participants older than 16 years, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status less than or equal to 2. For Participants 16 years or younger, Lansky score more or equal to 50%. The above is a summary, other inclusion criteria details may apply. Exclusion Criteria: * Active CNS involvement by B-ALL, defined by presence of ALL blasts in CSF (CNS2 and CNS3 criteria), or signs of CNS involvement. * Isolated extramedullary disease relapse. * Testicular leukemia * History or presence of clinically relevant CNS pathology such as epilepsy, seizure, paresis, aphasia, stroke, severe brain injuries, dementia, Parkinson's disease, cerebellar disease, organic brain syndrome, or psychosis; or prior Grade 4 neurotoxicity with CAR-T or TCE therapy. * History of other malignancy (with certain exceptions). * Unresolved AEs \>/= Grade 2, from prior therapies * Prior therapy with ADCs within 3 weeks, TCEs within 4 weeks, CAR T-cell therapy or autologous HSCT within 8 weeks or prior alloSCT within 12 weeks of start of therapy. * GVHD requiring immunosuppressive therapy within 3 weeks prior to AZD0486 treatment. The above is a summary, other exclusion criteria details may apply.
