New hope for aggressive lymphoma: targeted combo shows promise in early trial
NCT ID NCT04980222
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 19, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests a new drug called glofitamab added to standard chemotherapy (R-CHOP) for people with a fast-growing type of lymphoma that has a high risk of coming back. The goal is to see if the combination is safe and helps more patients achieve complete remission. About 46 adults with untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma will take part.
