Summary
Researchers are looking at a new treatment for people with two types of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL):
- follicular lymphoma (FL) and
- diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).
NHL is a cancer of the lymphatic system, which is part of the body's immune system and helps fight infection. People with NHL may develop swollen lymph nodes and other symptoms. FL is usually a slow-growing form of NHL, while DLBCL tends to grow more quickly.
This study is testing a new immunotherapy called MK-1045. Immunotherapy works by helping the body's immune system recognise and gith cancer cells.
Researchers want to find out:
- How safe MK-1045 is
- What side effects people may experience
- How well people can tolerate the treatment
- Whether MK-1045 can help shrink the lymphoma or make it disappear
Participants may receive MK-1045 on its own or in combination with other anti-cancer treatments.
