Lymphoma treatment showdown: which drug combo wins?
NCT ID NCT07492407
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at three different drug combinations for people newly diagnosed with a slow-growing blood cancer called marginal zone lymphoma. The goal is to see which combination works best to shrink tumors and keep the cancer from coming back, while also checking for side effects. About 131 patients will take part across multiple hospitals in China.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Rituximab combined with lenalidomide, bendamustine, or lenalidomide plus other drugs
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could identify the most effective and safest first-line treatment for marginal zone lymphoma, improving outcomes for patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a real-world observational study, not a controlled trial, so results may be less reliable. The study hasn't started yet, and it's relatively small (131 people).

Nodal marginal zone lymphoma (NMZL): Patients with Ann Arbor Stage I-II disease with progression/relapse after local therapy (including surgery, radiotherapy, etc.); Patients with newly diagnosed Ann Arbor Stage III-IV disease meeting the GELF criteria as recommended by the NCCN Guidelines; * ECOG performance status 0, 1, or 2 (Appendix 4); * Adequate general condition, with a life expectancy \> 3 months; * Adequate bone marrow function (except for cytopenia caused by the underlying disease), liver function, and renal function; * Commitment to comply with study procedures and cooperate throughout the entire study period; * The patient or his/her legally authorized representative must provide written informed consent prior to any study-specific tests or procedures; * For women of childbearing potential: agreement to use adequate contraceptive measures during study treatment and for at least 1 year after treatment completion.Men must agree to practice abstinence or use barrier contraception. Exclusion Criteria: * Histological transformation to high-grade lymphoma. * Known central nervous system (CNS) involvement by lymphoma or evidence of CNS disease. * Prior systemic therapy, including immunotherapy, chemotherapy, or targeted therapy. * Prior autologous stem cell transplantation, or allogeneic tissue / solid organ transplantation. * History of other invasive malignancies that were not treated with curative intent or for which anticancer treatment (including hormone therapy for breast or prostate cancer) was administered within the past 3 years. * Presence of uncontrolled cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases (e.g., New York Heart Association class III or IV heart failure, arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, stroke, or intracranial hemorrhage), coagulation disorders, connective tissue diseases, severe infectious diseases (including active tuberculosis), or other similar conditions. * Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, or active hepatitis B or C virus infection (positive result by polymerase chain reaction \[PCR\]).Seropositivity is permitted; patients with HBV DNA \< 10³ IU/mL may be enrolled.
