Brief Summary

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

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.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Treatment-naïve elderly and/or frail patients with DLBCL will be treated with acalabrutinib in combination with rituximab in a single arm.

Study details include the following:

* The study duration will be up to 108 weeks for each patient, including up to 28 days for screening and 104 weeks of treatment and follow-up.
* The treatment duration will be up to 8 cycles for rituximab and 28 cycles for acalabrutinib both beginning at cycle 1.
