Polatuzumab, Rituximab and Orelabrutinib Combination Regimen (PRO) in the Treatment of Elderly Frail Patients with Treatment-naive Non-GCB DLBCL (NCT06530511) is a Phase 2 interventional studying Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma, sponsored by Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

This prospective, single-arm, multicenter clinical study aims to enroll 30 frail elderly patients with Non-GCB DLBCL. This study is to evaluate the preliminary efficacy and safety of the combination of Polatuzumab, Rituximab, and orelabrutinib in this population. The primary endpoint is CR rate after induction therapy.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 30 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.
