Chemotherapy combination for brain lymphoma
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs to treat lymphoma that started in your brain. The goal is to see if this treatment helps without having to use whole-brain radiation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 60 years old or younger.
- You have a confirmed type of lymphoma called diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has not been treated yet.
- Your lymphoma is only in your brain or central nervous system, not elsewhere in your body.
- You are willing to sign a consent form agreeing to participate.
- You do not have another active cancer, HIV/AIDS, or allergies to the study drugs.

This trial tests a combination of high-dose chemotherapy drugs (gemcitabine, busulfan, and thiotepa) followed by a stem cell transplant for people with primary central nervous system lymphoma. It aims to see if this treatment can improve outcomes for patients whose disease has responded to initial therapy.
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (rituximab, methotrexate, and orelabrutinib) plus a PD-1 inhibitor for newly diagnosed or relapsed central nervous system lymphoma. The goal is to see if this new combination can improve outcomes for patients with this rare type of lymphoma.
This trial tests a combination of three drugs — high-dose methotrexate, thiotepa, and zanubrutinib — for people newly diagnosed with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). The goal is to see if this combination is safe and effective in shrinking tumors and improving outcomes.
This trial tests whether adding an immunotherapy drug to standard chemotherapy helps people with newly diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma (a rare brain cancer) live longer without the disease getting worse. It compares the combination to chemotherapy alone.
This trial tests a combination of three drugs (pomalidomide, rituximab, and methotrexate) for people who have just been diagnosed with a type of lymphoma that started in the brain or spinal cord. The goal is to see if this drug cocktail is safe and effective as a first treatment.
This trial tests a combination of radiation, immune-boosting drugs, and a targeted antibody for people newly diagnosed with primary central nervous system diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (a type of brain lymphoma). The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective.
