Study groups in NCT05200312
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Treatment-naive DLBCLExperimentalTreatment-naive high-risk DLBCL patients will be enrolled. R/R2-CHOP were allowed in cycle 1 due to poor physical condition or liver and renal failure caused by lymphoma progression. Patients achieving Complete Remission (CR) or Partial Remission (PR) after 2 cycles will receive another 2 cycles. Patients achieving CR or PR after 4 cycles will finish 6 cycles. Patients achieving CR after 6 cycles with double-hit/triple-hit/double-expression/median to high risk aaIPI will undergo Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (ASCT). Other patients will be administered rituximab for another 2 cycles and then turn to follow-up. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for 2 years, and then every 6 months for another 3 years. Patients achieving Stable Disease (SD) or PD (Progression Disease) after 2 or 4 cycles will quit the study. After 6 cycles, patients achieving SD or PD will quit the study and patients achieving PR will receive second-line therapy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Complete response rate after six cycles of ZR2-CHOP

    Complete response rate will be assessed by (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography (PET/CT) according to 2014 Lugano Criteria.

    Measured: at the end of 6 cycles(each cycle is 21 days)

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Progression-Free Survival (PFS) two years follow-up

    PFS was defined as the duration from the date of randomization to the date of progression, relapse from CR, or death, whichever occurred first. Responses were based on 2014 Lugano Criteria.

    Measured: At 2 years

  2. Overall survival (OS) two years follow-up

    Overall survival was defined as the duration from the date of randomization to the date of the participant's death. Median Overall Survival was estimated by using the Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: At 2 years

  3. Circulating tumor Deoxyribonucleic Acid (ctDNA) clearance rate

    ctDNA will be measured at baseline and after 2, 4, 6 cycles of ZR2-CHOP

    Measured: Baseline (At initial start), at the end of 2,4 ,6 cycles(each cycle is 21 days)

  4. Overall response rate after six cycles of ZR2-CHOP

    Overall response rate will be assessed by FDG-PET/CT or CT scan according to 2014 Lugano Criteria.

    Measured: at the end of 6 cycles(each cycle is 21 days)

  5. Overall response rate after two, four cycles of ZR2-CHOP

    Overall response rate will be assessed by FDG-PET/CT according to 2014 Lugano Criteria.

    Measured: at the end of 2,4 cycles(each cycle is 21 days)

  6. Complete response rate after two, four cycles of ZR2-CHOP

    Overall response rate will be assessed by FDG-PET/CT according to 2014 Lugano Criteria.

    Measured: at the end of 2,4 cycles(each cycle is 21 days)

  7. Incidence of adverse events

    Toxicities will be summarized by grade and by their relationship to treatment according to CTCAE (version 5.0).

    Measured: At 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Zanubrutinib, Lenalidomide and Rituximab in people with Non Hodgkin Lymphoma and Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma, run by The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University at 2 sites in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jianyong Li, Phd, MD (025-83718836, lijianyonglm@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Complete response rate after six cycles of ZR2-CHOP (time frame: at the end of 6 cycles(each cycle is 21 days)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05200312, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Mar 2022.
