Summary
This clinical trial is testing a new way to treat diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma (DLBCL), a type of blood cancer.
The study is comparing the standard treatment (known as R‑CHOP chemotherapy) with a newer approach that adds a targeted treatment called zilovertamab vedotin to chemotherapy.
Zilovertamab vedotin is a type of treatment called an antibody–drug conjugate. It binds to the ROR1 protein on cancer cells and delivers chemotherapy directly into them, which may help improve how well treatment works.
Who is this trial for?
You may be able to take part if:
- You have been recently diagnosed with DLBCL
- You have not had any treatment yet
- You are well enough to receive chemotherapy
What taking part involves
Participants in this trial will be randomly assigned (by chance) to one of two treatment groups:
- One group receives standard R‑CHOP chemotherapy
- The other group receives the targeted drug (zilovertamab vedotin) with a slightly different chemotherapy combination (R‑CHP)
Treatment is given in cycles every 3 weeks for several months. Participants will also have regular check-ups, scans and blood tests.
