SCTB35 with Gemcitabine and Oxaliplatin in relapsed or refractory DLBCL

Official title: A Phase 3 Randomized, Open-label, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of SCTB35 in Combination With Gemcitabine and Oxaliplatin Versus Rituximab in Combination With Gemcitabine and Oxaliplatin in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

Run by Sinocelltech Ltd. · NCT07570823 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests whether SCTB35 added to gemcitabine and oxaliplatin helps people with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma stay disease-free longer compared with rituximab plus gemcitabine and oxaliplatin.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18-80 with relapsed or refractory DLBCL after at least one prior systemic regimen containing an anti-CD20 antibody, and measurable disease with ECOG 0-2.

Probably not a fit

Patients with contraindications to rituximab, gemcitabine, or oxaliplatin, prior exposure to therapies targeting CD20 and CD3, or poor organ function may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This is a phase 3 interventional study evaluating SCTB35 in combination with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin versus rituximab with gemcitabine and oxaliplatin in adults whose diffuse large B-cell lymphoma has returned or not responded after prior therapy. Eligible participants are 18-80 years old, with measurable disease and adequate organ function, and a performance status of 0-2. Key exclusions include prior therapies targeting both CD20 and CD3, and contraindications to the study drugs. The trial is led by Sinocelltech Ltd. with Beijing Cancer Hospital as a site, and aims to determine if SCTB35 can improve outcomes in a difficult-to-treat population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience improved disease control and longer survival with SCTB35 in combination therapy.

How similar studies have gone: Previous approaches combining targeted antibodies with chemotherapy have shown activity in DLBCL, but the SCTB35 combination represents a novel strategy in this setting.
