New hope for lymphoma patients: drug cocktail aims to control relapsed disease

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion criteria: 1. Have a biopsy proven diagnosis of MZL, extranodal (EMZL) or nodal (NMZL) Or have a diagnosis of splenic MZL (SMZL) based on mandatory 13 flow cytometry markers: surface immunoglobulins (SmIg), CD5, CD23, FMC7, CD22 or CD79b, CD200, CD180, CD20, CD43, CD11c, CD10,CD103 and CD123 and validated by a centralized review. In case of large dissemination, disseminated MZL (as evaluated by investigator; please contact the Sponsor to discuss any doubt) will be included as DMZL and included in NMZL subtype. Participants with high tumor burden criteria are eligible. Participants with borderline or related entities, such as splenic diffuse red pulp lymphoma (SDRPL), typical hairy cell leukemia (HCL), and HCL variant (HCLv), are not eligible. 2. Have been treated with at least one prior systemic treatment and not more than three prior lines. Previous line must include at least one systemic line with a drug targeting CD20 (monoclonal antibody at least 2 cycles; participants treated with monoclonal antibody monotherapy should have received at least 4 weekly injections) with or without chemotherapy (R-CHOP, R-Bendamustine, R-CVP, R-Chlorambucil at least 2 cycles) or targeted treatment such as BTK inhibitors (at least 1 month). Participants previously treated by lenalidomide are eligible if the last administration of lenalidomide is superior to 12 months before C1D1. When randomized in comparator arm, those participants should require R-chemo. Prior local therapy (including surgery, radiotherapy antibiotics for H. pylori-positive gastric lymphoma, and antiviral for hepatitis C virus) is not considered as one line of treatment 3.
