Immunotherapy after chemo may keep aggressive lymphoma at bay
NCT ID NCT03463057
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This phase 2 study tests whether the immunotherapy drug atezolizumab can help prevent relapse in people with high-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who have already achieved remission with standard chemotherapy (R-CHOP). About 109 adults aged 18–75 are receiving 18 cycles of atezolizumab followed by 12 months of observation. The main goal is to see if this approach improves disease-free survival.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Atezolizumab (Tecentriq)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a way to keep high-risk DLBCL in remission longer after initial chemotherapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is a mid-stage trial with only 109 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Atezolizumab can cause immune-related side effects, and it's unclear if it will improve survival.
