Trial to Define the Safety and Tolerability of SGN-40, Rituximab, and Gemcitabine in Patients With DLBCL

December 17, 2014 updated by: Seagen Inc.

A Phase Ib Study of SGN-40 in Combination With Rituximab and Gemcitabine for the Treatment of Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)

The purpose of this study is to determine safety and tolerability of combination therapy of SGN-40 with gemcitabine and rituximab for the treatment of lymphoma. This study is also intended to estimate how well your disease responds to this treatment.
