New smart drug takes aim at Hard-to-Treat blood cancers
NCT ID NCT07220616
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 25, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This trial tests a new drug called DS3790a for people with certain blood cancers, including B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The drug is designed to find and attack cancer cells while sparing healthy ones. The study will check safety and how well it works in about 420 adults.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- DS3790a (an antibody-drug conjugate targeting CD37, combined with a chemotherapy-like payload)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a new treatment option for people with certain blood cancers that are hard to treat.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early (phase 1/2) trial, so the drug may not work or could cause serious side effects. It is not a cure and long-term benefits are unknown.

Inadequate washout period before initiation of trial intervention as specified in the protocol. 4. Evidence of brain or leptomeningeal disease (spinal cord or CNS metastases) based on history and physical examination, unless treated and with radiologically documented lack of progression within 4 weeks prior to initiation of trial intervention. 5. Uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease as specified in the protocol. 6. Any of the following within the past 6 months prior to enrollment: cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attack, or other arterial thromboembolic event. 7. Has a history of (noninfectious) ILD/pneumonitis that required corticosteroids, has current ILD/pneumonitis, or where suspected ILD/pneumonitis cannot be ruled out by imaging at screening. 8. Clinically severe pulmonary compromise resulting from intercurrent pulmonary illnesses including, but not limited to, any underlying pulmonary disorder and any autoimmune, connective tissue, or inflammatory disorder with potential pulmonary involvement, or prior pneumonectomy. 9. Has been diagnosed with another malignancy within the previous 3 years. 10. Unresolved toxicities from previous anticancer therapy, defined as toxicities (other than alopecia and lymphocytopenia) not yet resolved to NCI-CTCAE Version 5.0, Grade \<=1 or baseline. 11.
