Gentler chemo tested for elderly lymphoma patients

NCT ID NCT04594798

Summary

This study is testing a modified, potentially less harsh chemotherapy combination for patients aged 75 and older with an aggressive type of blood cancer called DLBCL. The goal is to see if adding a targeted drug (polatuzumab vedotin) to a reduced-dose standard regimen is effective and safe for this older, often frailer population. Researchers will measure how long patients live without their cancer getting worse and their overall survival.
