zanubrutinib combined with tislelizumab in the treatment of r/r pmbcl and ebv+ dlbcl

Conditions: Primary Mediastinal Large B Cell Lymphoma; EBV-Positive DLBCL, Nos

Summary: the study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of zanubrutinib combined with tislelizumab in the treatment of relapsed/refractory primary mediastinal large b-cell lymphoma and epstein-barr virus-positive diffuse large b-cell lymphoma.

r-chop regimen is the first-line therapy in dlbcl which greatly improved the efficacy of diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (dlbcl) and achieved good long-term survival. however, among dlbcl patients treated with r-chop, ebv+ had a lower 5-year os than ebv- patients (65% vs 82%). for primary mediastinal large b-cell lymphoma (pmbcl), although the initial treatment has a better prognosis than dlbcl, there are still 10% to 30% of pmbcl patients with primary refractory or relapsed disease, and the prognosis is poor. zanubrutinib combined with tislelizumab has been proved efficient in relapsed or refractory nhls, with orr rate 37%, cr rate of 16.7%. this phase ii, prospective, open-label, single-arm study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of zanubrutinib combined with tislelizumab in the treatment of relapsed/refractory primary mediastinal large b-cell lymphoma and epstein-barr virus-positive diffuse large b-cell lymphoma.
