Study Summary

This trialtests a new drug to treat DLBCL. It tests safety, tolerability and effectiveness in people who have not had prior treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with a confirmed diagnosis of Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) who haven't been treated before. They should have PET-positive disease and be in good physical condition, meaning they can carry out daily activities with ease or with some limitation. People with certain heart conditions, other cancers within the last 2 years, recent radiotherapy, ongoing high-dose steroids, live vaccines taken recently, strong drug interactions or active infections are excluded.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests Zilovertamab Vedotin combined with R-CHP (Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Prednisone plus Rituximab or its biosimilar). It has two parts: first to find a safe dose and then to see how effective this combination is at that dose for treating people newly diagnosed with DLBCL.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to infusion of the drugs like fever and chills; low blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk; nausea; fatigue; nerve damage causing numbness or tingling; hair loss due to chemotherapy agents used.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Zilovertamab Vedotin + R-CHP: Efficacy ExpansionExperimental Treatment7 Interventions
Participants in the efficacy expansion phase receive the RP2D of zilovertamab vedotin plus 750 mg/m^2 cyclophosphamide, 50 mg/m^2 doxorubicin, and 375 mg/m^2 rituximab or rituximab biosimilar (truxima) administered by intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle (Q3W) for up to 8 cycles (up to approximately 5.5 months). Participants also receive 100 mg prednisone or prednisolone per day during Days 1-5 of each 21-day cycle for up to 8 cycles (up to approximately 5.5 months).
Group II: Zilovertamab Vedotin + R-CHP: Dose Escalation/ConfirmationExperimental Treatment7 Interventions
Participants in the dose escalation/confirmation phase receive a dose level of zilovertamab vedotin (from 1.5 mg/Kg up to 2.5 mg/Kg) plus 750 mg/m^2 cyclophosphamide, 50 mg/m^2 doxorubicin, and 375 mg/m^2 rituximab or rituximab biosimilar (truxima) administered by intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 of each 21-day cycle (Q3W) for up to 8 cycles (up to approximately 5.5 months). Participants also receive 100 mg prednisone or prednisolone per day during Days 1-5 of each 21-day cycle for up to 8 cycles (up to approximately 5.5 months).
