First seen Jan 07, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This phase 2 trial is testing whether adding the drug glofitamab after an initial treatment with acalabrutinib (or zanubrutinib) and rituximab can better control high-risk mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) in people who have not been treated before. The study will enroll 30 participants and primarily look at safety and side effects. The goal is to find a more effective way to manage this aggressive cancer.
