Combination chemo for elderly DLBCL patients
Treatments studied
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests a new combination of targeted therapies and chemotherapy for older adults with a diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective for people who may not be able to tolerate standard treatment.

This study tests a combination of five drugs (including a targeted therapy called polatuzumab vedotin) for patients with a specific type of aggressive lymphoma (DLBCL) that has never been treated before. The goal is to see if this combination works better and is safe for certain subtypes of this cancer.
This trial tests a new combination of drugs for people with a type of lymphoma called diffuse large B cell lymphoma, especially if you are older or not healthy enough for standard full-dose chemotherapy. The treatment includes two immunotherapy drugs (epcoritamab and polatuzumab) plus a reduced-intensity chemotherapy regimen (mini-CHP). The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective for people who may not tolerate stronger treatments.
This trial tests a combination of targeted drugs (Obutinib or Decitabine) with standard chemo (Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Prednisone) for elderly patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who cannot handle full-dose chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this approach is safer and works as well.
This study tests a combination of three drugs (polatuzumab vedotin, rituximab, and chidamide) for older adults newly diagnosed with a certain type of aggressive lymphoma called double-expressor DLBCL. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective for people who may not be able to handle standard, more intense chemotherapy.
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (pola, Rituxan, and lenalidomide) for older adults (70+) with a common type of lymphoma (DLBCL) who are not well enough for standard chemotherapy. The goal is to see if this gentler treatment works well for patients who are less fit.
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.
