A Phase Ib Study of the Selective PKC-β Inhibitor MS-553 in Patients With Refractory or Relapsed CLL/SLL

A Phase 1/2 interventional study of MS-553, DS1 and MS-553, DS2 in CLL (Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia) and SLL (Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma), sponsored by MingSight Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years and older. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-09-29.

Primary conditionLeukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-CellRegistry: Leukemia, B-CellReclassifiedWhy we changed it
Registry
Leukemia, B-Cell — the first condition term the registry derived for this study.
ClinicalTrials.gg
Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell
Why
  1. The study's listed conditions name Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell, a narrower term within Leukemia, B-Cell.
Confidence
High: the new condition is named in the study's own listed conditions. Of 351 hand-checked studies reclassified this way, 68% were exactly right and 84% in the right disease family; the registry's first term was right for 5% (measured 2026-10-21). How we classify →

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Age 18 years or older.
  2. Diagnosis of CLL or SLL:

    1. History of documented CLL or SLL that meets iwCLL diagnostic criteria according to the 2018 guidelines, and
    2. Indication for treatment as defined by the 2018 iwCLL guidelines, or the need for disease reduction prior to transplantation.-

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Current transformation of CLL/SLL non-Hodgkin lymphoma or Hodgkin lymphoma.
  2. Active and uncontrolled cytopenia(s).
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(3)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Jul 2026; primary completion for Sep 2028, 26 months later.

Of 50 industry-sponsored phase 1/2 interventional studies under Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell, half reached primary completion within 80 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 51 and three quarters within 104. This study's planned 26 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 90 studies reached it within 78 months; a quarter within 51 and three quarters within 103.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Sep 29, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
