A Study to Evaluate MK-1045 (CN201) in Participants With Relapsed or Refractory B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (MK-1045-001/CN201-101)

March 18, 2026 updated by: MSD R&D (China) Co., Ltd.

An Open-Label, Dose Escalation Phase 1a Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Efficacy of MK-1045 (CN201) in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with relapsed or refractory B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (B-NHL). B-cells are a type of white blood cells that make antibodies and help fight infections. Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma is a type of cancer in the lymphatic system causing enlarged lymph nodes and/or organs in belly or chest. Relapsed means a disease or condition comes back after treatment Refractory means a disease does not respond to treatment or stops responding to a treatment.

MK-1045, the study medicine, is designed to treat relapsed or refractory B-NHL. MK-1045 is an immunotherapy, which is a treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer.

This is the first study in which MK-1045 will be given to people. The goal of this study is to learn about:

  • The safety of MK-1045 and how well people tolerate it.
  • The highest dose of MK-1045 that is well tolerated.
  • How well MK-1045 works to treat relapsed or refractory B-NHL.

PR is partial metabolic (moderate/high FDG uptake) and radiologic response (≥50% decrease in sum of product diameters for multiple lesions of up to 6 target measurable nodes and extranodal sites, no increase in lesions, and spleen regressed by >50% in length beyond normal).
