Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 to 75 with newly diagnosed DLBCL and positive p53 expression.

Probably not a fit

Patients with previous systemic treatment for DLBCL or those with ECOG scores above 2 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 study evaluates the efficacy and safety of zanubrutinib in combination with R-CHOP for patients newly diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who have p53 protein expression of 50% or more. It is a prospective, single-arm, single-center study that aims to recruit 41 patients. The study follows a two-phase design, where the first phase requires at least 12 patients to achieve a complete response to proceed to the second phase. Participants will receive 6 cycles of treatment, with interim assessments to evaluate their response after 4 cycles.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could improve outcomes for patients with DLBCL who express p53 protein, potentially leading to higher response rates and better survival.

How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on DLBCL treatments, the specific combination of zanubrutinib with R-CHOP in this context is novel and has not been extensively tested.

Show full inclusion / exclusion criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age ≥18 years, ≤ 75 years, both sexes;
2. Diff use large B-cell lymphoma diagnosed by histopathology without previous systemic DLBCL treatment;
3. ECOG score: 0-2;
4. Predicted survival ≥3 months;
5. Patients with positive p53 expression detected by immunohistochemistry (≥50% );
6. The patients had certain conditions of organ function reserve, and the laboratory tests within 1 week before enrollment met the following conditions:

Blood routine: neutrophil count (NEUT) ≥1.5×10\^9/L, platelet count (PLT)

≥75×10\^9/L, hemoglobin (HGB) ≥80 g/L; G-CSF was not used in the past 7 days (the researchers judged that the lymphoma-induced cytopenia could be included).

Liver function: Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤1.5× upper limit of the normal range (ULN); Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5×ULN; If liver metastases were present, TBIL≤3×ULN, ALT and AST≤5×ULN; Renal function: serum creatinine (Cr) ≤2.0×ULN or creatinine clearance (CCr) ≥60ml/min;

Cardiac function: LVEF≥50%, ECG did not indicate any acute myocardial infarction, arrhythmia, or atrioventricular conduction block above grade I;

Thyroid function: thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) was within the normal range. If TSH is abnormal, free triiodothyronine (FT3) and free thyroxine (FT4) should be within the normal range or abnormal without clinical significance.

1. According to the Lugano2014 assessment criteria, patients must have measurable lesions, defined as the longest diameter of at least one nodule \> 1.5cm, or the longest diameter of at least one nodule \> 1cm, and at least two vertical diameters that can be accurately measured.

5. patients who received the live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks before the first dose or planned to receive the live attenuated vaccine during the study;
6. The subject has previous or co -e xis ting other malignant tumors; Patients with basal cell carcinoma of the skin and uterine and neck carcinoma in situ who had been cured for more than 3 years, and patients with other malignant tumors who had been cured for more than 5 years were considered for inclusion.
