Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are elderly patients over 70 years old or those aged 65 and older with a specific performance status and confirmed double-expressor DLBCL.

Probably not a fit

Patients with certain pathological subtypes of lymphoma or those with central nervous system involvement 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 evaluates the safety and efficacy of a sequential immunochemotherapy regimen combining chidamide, rituximab, and lenalidomide in elderly patients diagnosed with double-expressor diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). The study is structured into four phases: screening, induction therapy, immunochemotherapy, and maintenance therapy. Patients will receive the RLC regimen followed by the CR-miniCHOP regimen, with maintenance therapy for those who achieve complete remission. The trial aims to provide a comprehensive treatment approach for this specific patient population.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve outcomes for elderly patients with double-expressor lymphoma.

How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promise in treating double-expressor lymphoma with similar immunochemotherapy approaches, indicating potential for success.
