clinical trial in chinese patients of b-cell non-hodgkin's lymphoma(gb226)

Conditions: B-cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Summary: an open-label, single-arm, phase ii clinical study of anti-pd-1 antibody gb226 in treatment of recurrent or refractory b-cell non-hodgkin's lymphoma (b-nhl)

gb226, 3mg/kg/time, is intravenously infused once every two weeks until disease progression, intolerable toxicity or study withdrawal decided by the investigator/subject. it is expected that each subject will be followed for 2 years. subjects receiving gb226 treatment will be followed once every 2 weeks to the end of this study. if the patients terminate the treatment and their imaging assessment shows no progressive disease (pd), they should be followed once every 6 weeks until progressive disease (imaging evaluation). if the patients have progressive disease (imaging assessment), they should be followed every 3 months until the end of this study or premature withdrawal from the study. relevant tests and evaluation should be completed at each visit according to standard of care. the follow-up visits can be performed by telephone. during the study, subjects must complete one imaging test and efficacy evaluation every 6 weeks until disease progression. moreover, patients should be closely monitored for adverse events from subject enrollment to 30 days after the last dosing
