MDX2003 for adults with relapsed B‑cell lymphomas

Official title: A Phase 1/2 Clinical Study Evaluating MDX2003 in Participants With Relapsed, Progressive, or Refractory B-Cell Malignancies

Run by ModeX Therapeutics, An OPKO Health Company · NCT07249905 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial will test MDX2003 in adults with relapsed or refractory B‑cell lymphomas whose tumors are CD19 or CD20 positive to see if it is safe and can shrink tumors.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with relapsed or progressive B‑cell lymphomas after at least two prior therapies, measurable disease, ECOG 0–2, adequate organ function, and documented CD19 or CD20 positivity are the intended participants.

Probably not a fit

Patients without CD19/CD20 expression, those who have not received the required prior therapies, or those with poor organ function or performance status may not benefit or may be ineligible.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This Phase 1/2 program uses a dose‑escalation phase to find a tolerable dose of MDX2003 followed by dose‑expansion cohorts to look for anti‑tumor activity across different B‑cell lymphoma types. Eligible participants are adults with measurable, relapsed or progressive disease after at least two prior lines of therapy and must show CD19 or CD20 positivity. The study will monitor safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy using standard imaging and response criteria. Patients must meet laboratory and performance status requirements and agree to contraception consistent with local regulations.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, MDX2003 could offer a new treatment option that shrinks tumors or delays progression in patients with relapsed B‑cell lymphomas.

How similar studies have gone: Other CD19/CD20‑targeted approaches such as monoclonal antibodies and CAR‑T therapies have shown clinical benefit in B‑cell lymphomas, but MDX2003 is a novel agent being tested in early‑phase trials.
