Clinical trial Phase 3 Interventional Ages 18 and up

Study of BTK Inhibitor LOXO-305 Versus Approved BTK Inhibitor Drugs in Patients With Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL)

Run by Loxo Oncology, Inc. · NCT04662255 · Data updated 2026-11-12

Fully enrolled, still running. This study is not taking new participants. Its registered completion date is 2027-11.

This is a study for participants with a type of blood cancer called mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). The main purpose is to compare pirtobrutinib (LOXO-305) to other drugs that work in a similar way that have already been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA). Participation could last up to two years, and possibly longer, if the disease does not progress.
