Scientists target Cancer's weak spot: redox imbalance
NCT ID NCT06600568
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study looks for new ways to kill T-cell leukemia and lymphoma cells by disrupting their internal balance of reactive oxygen species. Researchers will test drug combinations in lab-grown cells and in samples from 120 patients with resistant disease. The goal is to find treatments that can selectively eliminate cancer cells while sparing healthy ones.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Drug combinations targeting redox homeostasis (e.g., venetoclax with G6PD inhibitors)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could point toward new treatment options for patients with resistant T-cell cancers.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early translational study using lab and patient samples, not a treatment trial. Results may not lead to effective therapies for people.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Up to a maximum of 120 patients (both retrospective and prospective) are expected to be enrolled during the study period. Specifically, a maximum of 40 patients will be enrolled for each of the following diseases: T-cell lymphoblastic leukemias (T-ALL); T-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas (T-NHL); NK-cell neoplasms. For retrospective peripheral blood samples, bone marrow aspirates, and lymph node biopsies, which are available at the centers involved in the study, patients will be contacted again to ask for consent regarding this project. No additional clinical procedures are specifically required by participation in the present study. In fact, samples will be obtained from the material left over from samples taken for clinical procedures.
