Summary

This study is testing whether a drug called polatuzumab vedotin can safely help control lymphoma after a stem cell transplant. About 20 people with B-cell or Hodgkin lymphoma who have had a relapse or not responded to prior treatment will receive the drug if their disease is stable after transplant. The goal is to see if this approach can prevent the cancer from coming back.
