New immune attack on tough cancers: can a combo drug beat the odds?

NCT ID NCT03038672

Summary

This study is testing whether adding a new immunotherapy drug (varlilumab) to an existing one (nivolumab) works better than nivolumab alone for patients with aggressive B-cell lymphomas that have come back or stopped responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if the two-drug combination helps the body's immune system fight the cancer more effectively. About 54 patients will be randomly assigned to receive either the single drug or the combination to compare results.
