Clinical summary

Summary

You may be eligible for this study if you are either 80 years of age or older, or 65 to 79 years of age or older and classifed as unfit per sGA, and otherwise not considered candidates for full-dose R-CHOP chemotherapy. You must have a diagnosis of large B-cell lymphoma or follicular large cell lymphoma and not have received any prior treatment. 

The study has two parts, a safety run-in followed by the phase III part of the study.

In the safety run-in part, participants will receive a R-mini-CHOP chemotherapy followed by AZD0486 immunotherapy. R-CHOP consists of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone.

Once that is complete, participants will be randomly allocated to one of two arms.

  • Experimental Arm: 2 cycles of R-mini-CHOP followed by multiple cycles of AZD0486
  • Active Comparator Arm: 6 cycles of R-mini-CHOP as per standard of care regimen.

Conditions

This trial is treating people with previously untreated large B-cell lymphoma
