About this trial
This is a Phase 2b, randomized, open label study to assess the safety and efficacy of DPX-Survivac and pembrolizumab, with and without low-dose cyclophosphamide (CPA) in subjects with relapsed or refractory DLBCL.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Adults ≥ 18 years of age who are willing and able to provide written informed consent
Have an ECOG performance status of ≤ 1. Subjects with an ECOG performance status of 2 may be enrolled with Medical Monitor approval.

Subjects with DLBCL transformed from indolent lymphoma (except for Richter's transformation) are eligible.
Subjects must have progressive disease following at least two (2) lines of prior systemic therapy for DLBCL; prior treatment must have included an anthracycline and rituximab (or another CD20-targeted agent).
