First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase II trial tests whether combining brentuximab vedotin (a targeted antibody that delivers a toxin to cancer cells) with bendamustine (a chemotherapy drug) can shrink tumors in people with follicular lymphoma that has come back or not responded to prior treatment. The study enrolls adults with CD30-positive follicular lymphoma and measures how many patients achieve a complete response. The goal is to find a safe and effective option for this difficult-to-treat condition.
