OncoMatch/Clinical Trials/NCT06890884

A Clinical Study of Zilovertamab Vedotin (MK-2140) Plus Rituximab Plus Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, and Prednisone (R-CHP) Versus Polatuzumab Vedotin Plus R-CHP in People With Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) (MK-2140-011/waveLINE-011)

Is NCT06890884 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (Jun 2026). This Phase 2 trial studies multiple treatments for lymphoma, large b-cell, diffuse.

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.
