Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 18-75 with relapsed/refractory CD20-positive DLBCL and high tumor burden (tumor diameter >6 cm or total metabolic tumor volume >128.7 mL) who have had at least one prior systemic therapy.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without high tumor burden or with contraindications to radiotherapy or glofitamab may not benefit from this combination.

What this trial studies
This Phase 2 trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of combining hypofractionation radiotherapy with glofitamab in adults with relapsed/refractory DLBCL and high tumor burden. Eligible participants have previously received systemic therapy and meet specific tumor-burden criteria. The approach is planned for patients with CD20-positive DLBCL, aiming to improve complete response rates by modifying the tumor environment prior to or during antibody-based therapy. Outcomes will include response rates, survival measures, and safety signals related to the combination. The study is led by a single investigator team at a major Chinese center.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients could experience higher response rates and potential durable remissions using a combined radiotherapy and antibody-based approach.
How similar studies have gone: Similar strategies pairing radiotherapy with T‑cell–engaging therapies have shown signals of benefit in other lymphoma settings, supporting investigation of this approach in DLBCL.
