A Study of Glofitamab-based Treatment in People With Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma

Conditions

Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)High Grade B Cell Lymphoma Glofitamab Polatuzumab Obinutuzumab Rituximab Cyclophosphamide Doxorubicin

Quick Navigation

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The researchers are doing this study to find out if the study treatment is an effective treatment that causes few or mild side effects in people with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBCL), or transformed lymphoma. The treatment being tested in this study is glofitamab, polatuzumab, and obinutuzumab in combination with standard treatment (the combination of rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone, or R-miniCHP).
