Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults with relapsed or refractory non-GCB DLBCL, measurable disease, good organ function, and no planned stem cell transplant or CAR-T therapy.

Probably not a fit

Patients with uncontrolled toxicity from prior therapies, poor organ function, or rapid disease progression may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This is a multicenter, open-label phase Ib trial evaluating the safety, tolerability, preliminary activity, and pharmacokinetics of Rocbrutinib (LP-168) with R-GemOx in relapsed/refractory non-GCB DLBCL. It uses a classic 3+3 dose-escalation design to identify safe dose combinations, followed by a potential expansion phase based on safety and early signals of activity. The study will determine appropriate dosing and gather initial evidence on how the combination affects the disease and patients’ biology. Eligible participants have measurable disease, adequate organ function, and no immediate plans for stem cell transplant or CAR-T therapy.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could offer a new treatment option with manageable safety for patients with this lymphoma.

How similar studies have gone: BTK inhibitors in combination with chemotherapy regimens have shown early signals in similar lymphomas, but this specific combination is in early phases.
