- Zn-DDC to Target Hypoxia-NFkappaB-CSCs Pathway in Multiple Myeloma — Recruiting • Oncology • NCT04234022.
- What is being tested: Zn-DDC (Imuthiol), an intravenous agent designed to target cancer stem cells in multiple myeloma by disrupting the hypoxia-NFkappaB-CSC pathway, which is a mechanism previously shown to be effective against cancer stem cells in early studies.
- Patient eligibility overview: The trial recruits patients with multiple myeloma, though specific eligibility criteria regarding disease stage, prior treatment lines, and performance status would be detailed in the full protocol.

The outlook for patients with haematological malignancies remains challenging. It has been shown in some early cancer studies that a particular drug called Zn-DDC otherwise known as Imuthiol is highly toxic to cancer stem cells. Imuthiol has been intravenously used in clinical trials with an excellent safety record. Recent novel therapy and immunotherapy in haematological malignancies have improved outcome and survival but come with an increasing cost burden. Imuthiol could be an ideal affordable drug to study on it's own as well as in combination with other drugs in myeloma…
