  • - Outcomes for patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) are generally poor; however, the FDA approved Loncastuximab-teserine (Lonca) based on the LOTIS-2 trial results for those who have undergone at least two prior treatments.
  • - A retrospective study analyzed 187 patients from 21 US centers treated with Lonca, revealing a complete response rate of 14% and an overall response rate of 32%, indicating lower efficacy in a real-world setting compared to the original trial.

Our aim was to determine the recommended phase 2 dose, safety, and activity of lenalidomide in combination with fixed dose of obinutuzumab in relapsed and refractory indolent B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
