New treatment approach for T-cell cancers
Official title: Identification of Targetable Vulnerabilities in Redox Homeostasis Pathways as a Novel Therapeutic Approach for Human T-cell Malignancies
Run by Istituto Oncologico Veneto IRCCS · NCT06600568 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing a new way to treat T-cell cancers by combining different drugs to see if they can help get rid of cancerous T cells in patients who haven't responded to other treatments.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults over 18 years old with pre- and post-thymic T-cell leukemia or lymphoma.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with serious illnesses or uncontrolled infections that prevent standard treatment management may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This multicenter observational study aims to identify innovative strategies to selectively eliminate malignant T cells by modulating intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. It will investigate the interactions between drugs that activate apoptosis, such as Venetoclax, and those that alter ROS homeostasis, like glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase inhibitors. The most promising compounds will be selected based on in vitro results from cell lines and patient-derived xenografts (PDX), and subsequently tested ex vivo on cells from patients with resistant or refractory T-cell neoplasms.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could lead to more effective treatments for patients with T-cell malignancies.
How similar studies have gone: While this approach is innovative, similar studies exploring ROS modulation in cancer treatment have shown promise, indicating potential for success.
