New daily pill shows promise for Hard-to-Treat leukemia
NCT ID NCT06163430
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new daily pill called TERN-701 for adults with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) who have not responded well to other treatments. The trial has two parts: first, finding the safest dose, then testing that dose in more people. About 180 participants will take the pill once a day in 28-day cycles, and researchers will monitor safety and how well it controls the cancer.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- TERN-701 (a daily pill that targets a specific protein in cancer cells)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could offer a new daily treatment option for people with chronic myeloid leukemia who have not responded well to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial, so the drug may not work as hoped or could cause unexpected side effects. It is also not a cure—patients will likely need to take it long-term.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
