First seen Jan 06, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 23 times

Summary

This study tests whether using ctDNA blood tests and PET scans can help doctors tailor treatment for people with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). About 260 participants will receive standard chemotherapy (R-CHOP) plus or minus a targeted drug (acalabrutinib) based on their genetic mutations and early response to treatment. The goal is to see if this personalized approach can improve outcomes and reduce side effects by avoiding unnecessary or ineffective treatments.
