New antibody drug takes aim at Hard-to-Treat lymphoma
NCT ID NCT04594642
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing a new drug called AZD0486 in about 226 people with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, including types like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and follicular lymphoma. The drug is a bispecific antibody designed to help the body's immune T-cells recognize and kill cancer cells. The main goals are to check safety, find the right dose, and see early signs of tumor shrinkage.
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 bispecific antibody that helps immune cells attack cancer cells)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a new treatment option for people with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma who have not responded to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 1 trial, so the main goal is safety, not proof of effectiveness. Side effects like cytokine release syndrome and nerve problems are possible, and the drug may not work for everyone.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Biopsy proven B-NHL, including DLBCL, HGBL, or FL. * Relapsed/refractory cohorts: In order to be eligible subjects must have received at least 2 prior lines of therapy and not be candidates for treatment regimens known to provide clinical benefit in B-NHL. CAR T-naive subjects are allowed if they have declined, are considered ineligible for, or do not have timely access to CAR T cell therapies. * 1L FL cohorts: Subject has biopsy-proven FL Grade 1-3a per WHO 2016 classification, Stage II-IV, FL International Prognostic Index 2-5 that has not been treated with prior systemic lymphoma-directed therapy and requires initiation of treatment based on GELF criteria. Radiation to localized disease prior to study entry is allowed if \>14 days from first dose. * All Cohorts: Subject has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of ≤ 2. * Subject must have adequate liver, bone marrow and kidney function (eGFR ≥ 50 mL/min). * Subject must have locally confirmed CD19 positivity (must be documented after time of progression from last CD19-targeted therapy, if received) * Subject must have at least 1 measurable disease site * Subject must have ANC \>/= 1000/mm3, platelets \>/= 50,000 mm3, hemoglobin \>/= 8.0 g/dL. Transfusion and/or growth factor are allowed but counts must be stable for at least 72 hours afterwards prior to screening * Subject must have a total bilirubin \<1.5x ULN, AST/ALT \< 3xULN Exclusion Criteria: * Subject has been diagnosed with or treated for another malignancy whose natural history or treatment may interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen. * Subject has active central nervous system (CNS) involvement by their B-NHL. --Subjects may be eligible with a distant history of CNS involvement that has been adequately treated with no evidence of recurrence within last 6 months from screening. * Subject has a history of leukemic presentation of their B-NHL (\>5,000 circulating lymphoma cells/uL in the peripheral blood). * Subject has history or presence of clinically significant CNS pathology * Subject has CNS involvement from active or history of autoimmune disease. * Subject received CD19 CAR T therapy within 3 months prior to first dose. * Subject experienced Grade ≥ 3 cytokine release syndrome (CRS) following prior T-cell engager (TCE) or CAR T-cell therapy. * Subject experienced Grade ≥ 2 neurotoxicity/immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) following prior TCE or CAR T-cell therapy. * Subject has received a peripheral autologous stem cell transplant (SCT) within 12 weeks, or an allogeneic SCT within 1 year of the first dose of study drug treatment or has received an SCT and requires ongoing immunosuppressive therapy. * Subjects with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, or subjects with chronic or active infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) or hepatitis C virus (HCV). HIV-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial. Subjects with chronic HBV may be enrolled if the HBV viral load is undetectable on suppressive therapy, or if the subject has a documented cure. Subjects with HCV who have a documented cure may be enrolled. * Subject has a history of major cardiac abnormalities. * If female, subject must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.
