New shot shows promise for tough lymphoma cases
NCT ID NCT07226752
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new drug called epcoritamab (given as a shot under the skin) against standard chemotherapy for people with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has come back or stopped responding to treatment. About 72 participants in China will be randomly assigned to get either the new drug or one of two standard chemo regimens. The main goal is to see if epcoritamab helps people live longer.
