NCT ID NCT05429268
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a combination of two drugs, tafasitamab and lenalidomide, in adults with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has come back or not responded to prior treatments. Participants have had 1 to 3 previous therapies but cannot receive high-dose chemo or a stem cell transplant. The main goal is to see how many patients have their tumors shrink or disappear.
