Testing the Effectiveness of the Anti-cancer Drug, Mirdametinib, in Treating Relapsed, Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

A Phase 2 Pilot Study of Mirdametinib in Relapsed Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia


Sponsor

National Cancer Institute (NCI)

Enrollment

20 participants

Start Date

Sep 8, 2026

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This phase II trial tests the effect of mirdametinib in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Mirdametinib, a methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) inhibitor, works by blocking the action of an abnormal protein that signals cancer cells to multiply. This may help slow or stop the spread of cancer cells. Giving mirdametinib may be effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory CLL or SLL.

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study tests a drug called mirdametinib — which blocks a specific cancer growth signal — in people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) whose cancer came back or stopped responding to previous treatments. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with CLL or SLL confirmed by blood or tissue testing - Your cancer has relapsed (come back) or is no longer responding to treatment - Your cancer shows signs that require treatment, such as enlarged spleen, rapidly increasing blood cell counts, significant fatigue, or other symptoms - You are in reasonably good health overall **You may NOT be eligible if...** - Your cancer is well controlled and does not yet require treatment - You have not previously tried standard CLL therapies - You have significant other health conditions that could interfere with treatment Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
