Zanubrutinib plus Pola-R-CHP for newly diagnosed high-risk diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma
Official title: Application of Zanubrutinib-based Combination Regimens in the Treatment of Newly-diagnosed Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma: A Phase II, Prospective, Single-center, Single-arm Clinical Study
Run by Beijing Tongren Hospital · NCT07371923 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This tests whether adding the BTK inhibitor zanubrutinib to a Pola-R-CHP regimen helps people with newly diagnosed DLBCL who have high-risk features.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with newly diagnosed, measurable DLBCL who have at least one listed high‑risk feature, ECOG 0–3, adequate blood and organ function, expected survival ≥3 months, and no prior lymphoma therapy are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without high‑risk features, those with other active malignancies, prior lymphoma treatment (beyond short corticosteroids), or inadequate organ function are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

What this trial studies
This single-center, phase 2 trial gives treatment‑naive patients with measurable DLBCL and prespecified high‑risk features a combination regimen including zanubrutinib and Pola-R-CHP, with alternative backbone adjustments (for example rituximab plus high‑dose methotrexate) for certain CNS presentations. Eligible patients have at least one high‑risk factor such as IPI ≥2, ABC subtype, double‑expressor or double‑hit biology, CD5 positivity, MCD/N1/A53 subtypes, or multiple extranodal/special-site involvement. The study measures safety and anti‑lymphoma activity, focusing on response rates and progression‑free survival compared to historical outcomes with R‑CHOP. Treatment is administered and patients are followed at Beijing Tongren Hospital.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the regimen could increase remission and progression‑free survival rates for patients with newly diagnosed high‑risk DLBCL and potentially reduce CNS relapses.
How similar studies have gone: Polatuzumab added to frontline regimens has shown improved 2‑year PFS in prior trials, while combining BTK inhibitors like zanubrutinib with frontline chemoimmunotherapy remains investigational with promising but unproven results.
