Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 80 with a confirmed diagnosis of relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma who have previously undergone systemic treatment.

Probably not a fit

Patients with other types of small B cell lymphoma or those who have not received prior systemic treatment 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 clinical trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of a treatment regimen combining Orelabrutinib and rituximab for patients with relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma. The study focuses on measuring the overall response rate in participants who have not responded adequately to previous treatments. Eligible patients must have a confirmed diagnosis of marginal zone lymphoma and measurable disease as assessed by imaging techniques. The trial is designed to provide insights into the efficacy of this combination therapy as a second-line treatment option.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could offer a new effective option for patients with difficult-to-treat marginal zone lymphoma.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise with similar treatment approaches, indicating potential for success in this trial.
