NCT ID NCT03015896

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase trial is testing whether combining two drugs—nivolumab (a monoclonal antibody) and lenalidomide (a chemotherapy-like drug)—can safely and effectively treat people with non-Hodgkin or Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned or is not responding to treatment. The study involves 36 participants and aims to find the best dose and assess side effects. If the combination works, it could provide a new option for patients with few alternatives.

What this could lead to
If successful, this combination could offer a new treatment option for patients with lymphoma that has returned or stopped responding to standard therapies.
What could go wrong
