About this trial

The study will measure the safety, tolerability, and efficacy with acalabrutinib in combination with rituximab in treatment-naïve elderly and/or frail patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), who are otherwise unsuitable for standard front line chemoimmunotherapy treatments.

No prior treatment for DLBCL

Disqualifiers

Any evidence of diseases (such as severe or uncontrolled systemic diseases, including uncontrolled hypertension, renal transplant, and active bleeding diseases), that would make the study undesirable for the patient or that would impact compliance with the protocol.

History of prior or current malignancy, that would affect compliance with the protocol or interpretation of the results.
