Study Summary

Researchers are looking for ways to treat germinal center B-cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (GCB DLBCL). DLBCL is a fast-growing blood cancer that affects B-cells. GCB is a type of DLBCL that affects young B-cells that are still maturing. The goal of this study is to learn if more people who receive zilovertamab vedotin (MK-2140) and R-CHP have the cancer respond (go away) than those who receive polatuzumab vedotin and R-CHP.

Primary Outcome

CRR at EOT is defined as the percentage of participants who experience complete response (CR) per Lugano response criteria as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR) at end of treatment. CR is complete metabolic (no/minimal FDG uptake) and radiologic response (target lesions regress to ≤1.5 cm in longest transverse diameter of a lesion) and no new lesions. Participants with missing data or who discontinue treatment or study prior to reaching EOT will be considered non-responders an
