About this trial
A Single-Arm, Open-Label, Multicenter Phase II Trial of CRP Regimen (Chidamide, Rituximab, Polatuzumab Vedotin) in Treating Elderly Patients with Previously Untreated Double-Positive Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Patients aged ≥70 years, or patients aged 60-69 years with an ECOG performance status score of 2-4. Both males and females are eligible.
No prior treatment for DLBCL, including chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy, local radiotherapy directed at the lymphoma (excluding palliative radiotherapy for symptom relief), or surgical therapy (excluding diagnostic biopsy or surgery not targeting the lymphoma).
Diagnosis of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) with CD20 positivity; concurrent positive expression of C-MYC and Bcl-2 (double-expressor phenotype).
At least one measurable lesion positive on ¹⁸F-FDG PET-CT scan according to the Lugano 2014 criteria for Hodgkin and non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Disqualifiers
History of or concurrent other active malignancies.
Prior treatment with Chidamide and/or R-CHOP. Contraindication to any component of CHOP, including prior anthracycline therapy. History of severe hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis to humanized or murine monoclonal antibodies, or known sensitivity/allergy to murine products.
Current diagnosis of any of the following: Follicular lymphoma grade 3B; B-cell lymphoma, unclassifiable, with features intermediate between DLBCL and classical Hodgkin lymphoma (grey zone lymphoma); Primary mediastinal (thymic) large B-cell lymphoma; Burkitt lymphoma; Central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma (primary or secondary); Primary effusion DLBCL; Primary cutaneous DLBCL, leg type.
History of myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or other clinically significant cardiac disease within 12 months prior to signing informed consent; or prior coronary angioplasty/stenting within 12 months.

Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
Chidamide
DrugChidamide: patients followed a step-dose escalation regimen (10mg BIW,15mg BIW, 20mg BIW). 21 days as a treatment cycle. The maximum number of treatment cycles is six.
Rituximab
DrugDay 1 of each cycle, 375 mg/m².The maximum number of treatment cycles is six.
Polatuzumab Vedotin
DrugDay 1 of each cycle, 1.8 mg/kg. The maximum number of treatment cycles is six.
Chidamide Maintenance
DrugFor patients assessed as being in PR or CR status after completion of combination therapy, maintenance therapy with chidamide is administered for one year at a dosage of 20 mg, BIW. Drug adjustments may be made based on the patient's tolerance, with reference to the drug prescribing information.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Complete Response Rate (CRR)
To assess the Complete Response Rate (CR) at the end of CRP Regimen (Chidamide, Rituximab, Polatuzumab Vedotin).
Secondary outcomes
Overall Response Rate (ORR)
To assess the Overall Response Rate (ORR) at the end of CRP Regimen (Chidamide, Rituximab, Polatuzumab Vedotin).
Progression-free survival (PFS)
The time from study enrollment to the first documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first."
Event free survival(EFS)
The duration from the time of study enrollment until the occurrence of disease progression, relapse after complete response (CR), death from any cause, or the initiation of new treatment for residual lesions after completion of combination therapy (including switched therapy for lesions during the trial), whichever occurs first.
Overall Survival(OS)
The time from subject enrollment to Death caused by any reason. for patients lost to follow-up, the time of the last follow-up; for patients still alive at the end of study, the date of the end of follow-up.
Other outcomes
Biomarkers Associated with Treatment Response and Disease Progression
Using Whole Transcriptome Sequencing (WTS) and Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS), we will examine if baseline molecular/proteomic subtypes, genomic profiles, and specific somatic mutations affect CRP regimen efficacy or drive disease progression to more severe states.
Biomarkers Associated with Adverse Events
We will use Whole Transcriptome Sequencing (WTS) and NGS to investigate whether specific somatic mutations increase the risk of CRP regimen-related adverse events.
