Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Despite the current advances in clinical oncology, the prognosis of patients with resistant diffuse large B cell lymphoma or relapse after high dose chemotherapy is dismal. Therefore there is a need for the introduction of novel treatment regimens. This phase I/II trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of combination bendamustine, gemcitabine, nivolumab and rituximab in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. The safety of combination treatment will be evaluated with the determination of recommended dose schedule prior to expansion of enrollment to evaluate the antitumor activity of bendamustine, gemcitabine, rituximab, and nivolumab.

Intervention Model

SEQUENTIAL

There will be 2 parts in this study. In Part 1, the safety of combination treatment will be evaluated prior to expansion of enrollment to evaluate treatment effect in Part 2. The arms in Part 1 include 3 different dosage regimens of gemcitabine (500 / 700 / 1000). Part 2 of the study will further characterize the safety and evaluate the antitumor activity of drug combination by enrolling patients at the recommended dose schedule determined in Part 1.
