NCT ID NCT07371923

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

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests whether adding the drug zanubrutinib to a standard chemotherapy regimen (Pola-R-CHP) can improve outcomes for people with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who have high-risk features. About 50 participants will receive the combination for six cycles. The main goal is to see how many achieve a complete remission (no cancer detected).

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

zanubrutinib (a BTK inhibitor) combined with polatuzumab, rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a more effective first-line treatment for high-risk DLBCL patients, potentially improving remission rates and reducing relapse.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-phase (phase 2) single-center trial with no control group, so results may not be generalizable. The combination also carries risks of increased side effects from multiple drugs.
