Efficacy and Safety of Venetoclax Combined With BEAM (Carmustine, Etoposide Cytarabine and Melphalan) Pretreatment in Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation for Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma: a Single-center, Randomized Clinical Study

This single-center, randomized clinical study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of Venetoclax combined with BEAM Pretreatment Regimen in ASCT treatment of DLBCL patients.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

Diffuse Large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is a group of highly heterogeneous aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphomas with different pathogenesis and clinical prognosis. Despite the survival benefits of Anthracycline-based chemotherapy bridging autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT), 30%-40% of DLBCL patients fail to respond to treatment and relapse or die within a short period of time. A phase I/II trial of Venetoclax combined with BEAM as a pretreatment regimen for ASCT of high-risk and relapsed/refractory lymphoma was presented at the ASH Meeting 2021 (NCT03583424), and it studies the side effects and best dose of venetoclax when given together with BEAM (carmustine, etoposide, cytarabine, and melphalan) before stem cell transplant in treating participants with relapsed or refractorynon-Hodgkin lymphoma. The results confirmed that Venetoclax has a good prospect in ASCT.

Time Frame: Baseline up to data cut-off (up to approximately 2 years)
Progression-free survival was defined as the time from the date of ASCT until the date of the first documented day of disease progression or relapse, using 2014 Lugano criteria, or death from an cause, whichever occurred first.
Baseline up to data cut-off (up to approximately 2 years)
