Phase 2RecruitingMerck Sharp & Dohme LLCNCT06890884Data as of May 2026

Treatment: Zilovertamab vedotin · Rituximab · Cyclophosphamide · Doxorubicin · Rituximab Biosimilar · Prednisone · Prednisolone · Polatuzumab vedotin · Rescue MedicationResearchers are looking for ways to treat germinal center B-cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (GCB DLBCL). DLBCL is a fast-growing blood cancer that affects B-cells. GCB is a type of DLBCL that affects young B-cells that are still maturing. The goal of this study is to learn if more people who receive zilovertamab vedotin (MK-2140) and R-CHP have the cancer respond (go away) than those who receive polatuzumab vedotin and R-CHP.
