New drug combo aims to control aggressive blood cancer in younger adults
NCT ID NCT02427620
Summary
This study is testing a three-part treatment for younger patients newly diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma, a type of blood cancer. First, patients receive two targeted drugs (ibrutinib and rituximab) to attack the cancer cells. Then, they receive a strong combination of chemotherapy drugs to try to eliminate any remaining cancer. The goal is to see if this approach is effective and safe for controlling the disease.
