efficacy of pola-rchp-x vs pola-rchp in untreated dlbcl

Conditions: Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

Summary: the purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of genotype-guided targeted agents in combination with polatuzumab vedotin plus rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (pola rchp-x) versus pola rchp in chinese patients with previously untreated diffuse large b-cell lymphoma (dlbcl).
