About this trial

Zanubrutinib, as a new generation of BTK inhibitors, has shown more potent antitumor activity and lower adverse reactions than ibrutinib in head-to-head clinical studies, which make it a promising regimen for B cell lymphoma. Chidamide is an oral subtype-selective histone deacetylase inhibitor.

This Randomized, Multicenter, Open-Label Phase II Clinical Study is comparing the efficacy and safety of Zanubrutinib, Chidamide, and Rituximab induction therapy sequentially combined with or without CHOP versus R-CHOP in the first-line treatment of patients with newly diagnosed double-expressor DLBCL.

Expected survival time of ≥6 months.

Disqualifiers
