Can a Two-Drug combo keep aggressive lymphoma at bay?
NCT ID NCT07760610
First seen Aug 12, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial is testing whether a combination of pomalidomide (a pill) and rituximab (an infusion) can help young adults with high-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) stay in remission after their first round of treatment. Participants, who must be under 60 and have responded at least partially to initial therapy, will receive the two drugs for up to 24 months. The main goal is to see how many people remain free of cancer progression after one year, with secondary goals including overall survival and safety.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Pomalidomide combined with rituximab
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this maintenance regimen could help keep high-risk DLBCL in remission longer, potentially improving survival without the need for more intensive treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study, so results may not apply broadly. The combination may cause side effects like low blood counts or infections, and it is not yet known if it will outperform standard care.
