NCT ID NCT04903197
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial tested a drug called VAY736, alone or with other cancer drugs, in 18 adults with certain types of Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma that had come back or not responded to prior treatments. The main goals were to check safety and find the right dose. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.
