Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with relapsed or refractory DLBCL who have undergone multiple prior treatments.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are suitable for stem cell transplantation or have not received prior systemic treatments 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 multicenter, open-label phase Ib/II study evaluates the safety and efficacy of GFH009 in combination with Zanubrutinib in patients suffering from relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Participants must have experienced relapse or refractory disease after receiving 2 to 4 systemic treatment regimens, including anthracyclines and Rituximab. The study aims to determine how well this combination therapy works in managing the disease and improving patient outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with difficult-to-treat DLBCL.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar combination therapies in treating DLBCL, suggesting potential for success in this approach.
