New hope for tough lymphoma: phase 3 trial pits SHR2554 against standard drug

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

The subject personally signs and dates the informed consent to show that the subject has been fully informed of all the circumstances related to the clinical trial; 14.

Have been treated with compounds with the same mechanism; 2. Accompanied by central nervous system infiltration; 3. Received autologous stem cell transplantation within 60 days before signing the agreement, and received allogeneic stem cell transplantation within 90 days; 4. Major surgery or severe trauma occurred 4 weeks before the first dose of study drug administration; 5. Received anti-tumor treatment within 4 weeks before the first dose of the study drug, and received Chinese medicine treatment with anti-tumor effect within 2 weeks before the first dose of the study drug; Receiving steroid hormones within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug administration; 6. Active phase of HBV or HCV infection; 7. A history of immunodeficiency, including HIV seropositive, or other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency diseases; 8.

Have other malignancies within 5 years prior to screening, other than adequately treated cervical carcinoma in situ, basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, local prostate cancer after radical surgery, ductal carcinoma in situ after radical surgery (allowing hormone therapy for non-metastatic prostate cancer or breast cancer), and papillary thyroid cancer; 13. The subject has another serious/severe acute or chronic illness or mental illness, including recent (within the past year) or current suicidal ideation or behavior, or laboratory abnormalities that may increase the risks associated with participation in the study or administration of the investigational drug, may interfere with the interpretation of the study results, or may interfere with the investigator's judgment; 14. The subjects are the staff of the research center directly related to this clinical trial or their family members, or the subordinates of this trial although not directly related to this trial, or the staff employed by the sponsor directly related to this trial; 15.

The subject is unable to swallow, or has a history of active gastrointestinal inflammation, chronic diarrhea, known diverticulosis, or a history of gastrectomy or gastric banding that affects drug absorption; 17.

In the judgment of the investigator, objective conditions (including the subject's psychological state, family relationship, social factors or geographical factors) make the subject unable to complete the planned study or the subject has other factors, concomitant diseases, combined treatment or abnormal laboratory examination that may lead to the forced termination of the study.
