What this study is testing

What is VK-2019?

VK-2019 is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for diffuse large b cell lymphoma refractory.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
This is a Phase Ib in adult patients with relapsed or refractory EBV-positive DLBCL using daily oral dosing of VK-2019 in three dose escalation cohorts: 600 mg/day, 1200 mg/day, 1800 mg/day for 28 days (cycle), until progression or toxicity.
