First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This phase 2 trial was designed to test a combination of rituximab, venetoclax, and bortezomib in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that had come back or stopped responding to treatment. The goal was to see how many patients would have their tumors shrink or disappear. However, the study was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data were collected.

What this could lead to
