Tested chemo regimen for newly diagnosed older adults with DLBCL
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study tests a “mini-CHOP-like” chemotherapy plan for newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) in people age 70 and older. It may help you learn whether this gentler regimen works well and is safe in older adults who are newly starting treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have newly diagnosed DLBCL confirmed by pathology (biopsy/cytology), and you have not started treatment yet
- You are age 70 or older
- You have at least one measurable lymphoma spot on scans (at least 15 mm)
- You expect to live more than 3 months
- Your liver, kidney, and heart tests are within limits (for example, ejection fraction about 50% or higher, oxygen stays above 90% without extra oxygen)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a combination of four medications (pomalidomide, rituximab, orelabrutinib, and polatuzumab vedotin) for newly diagnosed, elderly patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who cannot tolerate standard treatments. It aims to see if this combination is effective and safe for older adults.
This trial compares two different shortened treatment schedules of R-CHOP to see which one is safer and works better for people with low-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). It aims to reduce risk from treatment while maintaining strong cancer control after an initial response.
This trial tests a lower-dose combination of chemotherapy drugs (R-mini-MCOP) for people aged 80 or older who have just been diagnosed with a common type of lymphoma called DLBCL. The goal is to see if this gentler approach is effective and easier to tolerate.
This trial tests a new combination: zanubrutinib (a targeted pill) plus standard chemotherapy (R-CHOP) for people newly diagnosed with DLBCL whose cancer cells have high p53 protein levels. The goal is to see if adding this drug helps shrink tumors better than chemotherapy alone.
This study compares two lymphoma treatments: mini-CHOP alone versus mini-CHOP plus a drug called polatuzumab vedotin. It aims to see which regimen works better and is tolerable for older or frail people with certain types of aggressive B-cell lymphoma.
This study tests whether adding acalabrutinib to a reduced-strength chemotherapy plan (R-miniCHOP) works better and is safer for older adults with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. It may help you get a more effective treatment while using a dosing approach meant for people who may not tolerate full-strength therapy.
