Experimental blood cancer drug KK2430 enters first human tests
NCT ID NCT07629726
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study is the first time the experimental drug KK2430 is being tested in humans. It aims to find out if KK2430 is safe, how the body processes it, and whether it can help treat blood cancers. About 72 adults with blood cancers that have not responded to other treatments will receive the drug intravenously. The study is currently recruiting participants.
