About this study

Official title: Phase Ⅲ Clinical Trial Comparing BEBT-908 Combined With Rituximab (R) to Standard of Care for the Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

This is a multicenter, randomized, controlled, open-label Phase III clinical trial, aimed at evaluating the efficacy and safety of BEBT-908 combined with rituximab (R) compared to investigator-selected standard chemotherapy regimens [Standard of Care (SOC)] [i.e., rituximab-gemcitabine-oxaliplatin (R-GemOx) or rituximab-ifosfamide-carboplatin-etoposide (R-ICE)] for the treatment of relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (r/r DLBCL).

Read the detailed description

The study will recruit 416 subjects, who will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the experimental group (BEBT-908 combined with R) or the control group [investigator-selected standard chemotherapy regimen (R-GemOx or R-ICE)]. Approximately 208 subjects will be enrolled in the experimental group, and approximately 208 in the control group. The treatment cycle is 21 days, with a total of 8 treatment cycles. The experimental group will receive BEBT-908 + R treatment from cycles 1 to 8; participants who do not appear progressive disease (PD) after cycle 8 may continue to receive BEBT-908 and/or R treatment, entering a maintenance phase of up to 24 months. The control group will receive the investigator-selected SOC (i.e., R-GemOx or R-ICE) treatment from cycles 1 to 8, and will not receive further study medication after cycle 8.

Each subject's study process includes three phases: screening, treatment, and post-treatment follow-up. The screening phase can last up to 21 days. During the treatment phase, tumor assessments will be conducted every 6 weeks (±7 days) within the first 8 treatment cycles, and every 9 weeks (±7 days) after cycle 8.After the end of treatment, safety follow-up will be conducted on day 28 (+7 days) after the last dose, efficacy follow-up will be conducted every 9 weeks (±7 days), and survival follow-up will be conducted every 3 months (±2 weeks).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Ifupinostat Hydrochloride for Injection, Rituximab Injection and Gemcitabine Hydrochloride for Injection in people with Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, run by BeBetter Med Inc at 1 site 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 16 inclusion and 36 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 Aug 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

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

Contact Kegang Jiang, Master (+86-18664786382, kjiang@bebettermed.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Overall Survival (OS) (time frame: Up to 48 months). 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 NCT06792253.

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 19 Aug 2026.
