Targeted drug combo for relapsed DLBCL
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This trial tests a combination of targeted antibody drugs (polatuzumab vedotin and rituximab) plus two chemo drugs (gemcitabine and oxaliplatin) for people with DLBCL whose cancer returned after their first treatment and who cannot have a stem cell transplant. The goal is to see if this combination works better as a second-line treatment.

This trial tests if adding another drug (X) to a standard chemotherapy mix (Pola-RCHP) works better for people with untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). It is for those whose cancer DNA levels did not drop enough after the first round of treatment.
This trial tests a combination of two targeted therapies, polatuzumab vedotin and glofitamab, for people with DLBCL that either came back within 12 months of R-CHOP or never went away. The goal is to see if this two-drug approach can help when standard chemotherapy has not worked well.
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (Pola-ZR2P) for people with a type of lymphoma called diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who have not had chemotherapy yet. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and effective.
This study compares three different drug combinations for people with untreated DLBCL. One group gets a standard combination (pola-RCHP), another gets that plus a targeted pill (like orelabrutinib or venetoclax), and a third gets the standard chemo without the targeted antibody. The goal is to see which approach works best and is safest.
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 three targeted drugs (glofitamab, polatuzumab vedotin, and zanubrutinib) as a first treatment for older adults (70+) with a common type of lymphoma called DLBCL. The goal is to see if this approach is effective and well-tolerated without standard chemotherapy.
