First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding the anti-inflammatory drug celecoxib to standard R-CHOP chemotherapy improves outcomes for people with newly diagnosed, advanced CD5-positive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (a fast-growing type). Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to receive either celecoxib plus R-CHOP or R-CHOP alone. The main goal is to see if the combination leads to more complete remissions.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Celecoxib (an anti-inflammatory drug) combined with R-CHOP chemotherapy

What this could lead to

If it works, this could improve the chance of complete remission for people with a hard-to-treat type of lymphoma.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase trial (60 people) and may not show a clear benefit. Adding celecoxib could also increase side effects like stomach or heart problems.
