NCT ID NCT02362997
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether giving the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab after a stem cell transplant could help keep lymphoma from coming back. It included 82 adults with relapsed or hard-to-treat Hodgkin lymphoma, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, or T-cell lymphoma. The goal was to see if more patients stayed cancer-free 18 months after transplant.
