Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with a confirmed diagnosis of relapsed or refractory DLBCL who have failed or are ineligible for prior therapies such as ASCT or CAR-T.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have not been previously treated for DLBCL or those with other types of lymphoma may not benefit from this study.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This Phase 2b clinical trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of a combination treatment involving DPX-Survivac and pembrolizumab, with and without the addition of low-dose cyclophosphamide, in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The study will enroll up to 102 participants who will be randomized into two groups: one receiving all three treatments and the other receiving only DPX-Survivac and pembrolizumab. Participants will receive multiple doses of DPX-Survivac and pembrolizumab over a specified treatment schedule, with the option of intermittent cyclophosphamide for one group. The goal is to assess how well this combination therapy works in this patient population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL who have limited treatment alternatives.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar immunotherapy approaches, indicating potential for success in this trial.
