New hope for lymphoma patients: experimental drug combo enters human trials
NCT ID NCT07398638
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding the experimental drug lisatoclax to standard chemotherapy (R-CHOP or Pola-R-CHP) can safely improve outcomes for people with untreated diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). About 122 adults aged 18-70 will take part. The goal is to see if the combination leads to more complete remissions and to check for side effects.
