Phase III Study of Tucidinostat in Combination With R-CHOP in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Double-Expressor DLBCL

NCT04231448

Description:

Tucidinostat (formerly known as chidamide) is an oral subtype-selective histone deacetylase inhibitor. This Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase 3 trail is studying the efficacy and safety of Tucidinostat, in Combination with Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, and Prednisone (R-CHOP) in Subjects With Newly Diagnosed MYC/BCL2 Double-Expressor Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma.

Purpose

Tucidinostat (formerly known as chidamide) is an oral subtype-selective histone deacetylase inhibitor. This Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase 3 trail is studying the efficacy and safety of Tucidinostat, in Combination with Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, and Prednisone (R-CHOP) in Subjects With Newly Diagnosed MYC/BCL2 Double-Expressor Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma.

Detailed Description

      The primary objective is to evaluate if the addition of Tucidinostat to rituximab,
      cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) prolongs event-free
      survival (EFS) compared with R-CHOP alone in subjects with newly diagnosed MYC/BCL2
      Double-Expressor subtype of DLBCL selected by IHC and FISH.
