Recruiting PHASE2 Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

New treatment option for Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

Official title Chidamide Maintenance for MRD-Positive Double-Expressor DLBCL in First Complete Remission

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07507318

What this study is testing

What is Chidamide?

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

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 prospective, multicenter, single-arm, open-label phase 2 study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of chidamide maintenance in adults with newly diagnosed double-expressor diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who achieve complete response after induction therapy but remain ctDNA minimal residual disease (MRD)-positive. Eligible participants will receive oral chidamide 20 mg on Days 1, 4, 8, and 11 of each 21-day cycle.
