Summary

This early-phase trial tested a new drug called ociperlimab combined with either tislelizumab or rituximab in 53 people whose diffuse large B-cell lymphoma had returned or stopped responding to treatment. The main goal was to check safety and find the right dose. Researchers also looked at whether the tumors shrank. The study is complete, but results are not yet published.
