This trial is for adults with untreated, PET-positive, germinal-center B-cell-type diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, stages II–IV. Transformed lymphoma, primary mediastinal lymphoma and grey-zone lymphoma are excluded.

The idea: compare zilovertamab vedotin, targeting ROR1, with polatuzumab vedotin, targeting CD79B. Both deliver cell-killing payloads. Each is combined with rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin and prednisone or prednisolone. Randomized treatment lasts up to six three-week cycles; high-risk patients receive two additional rituximab cycles. Researchers compare complete responses and safety. Treatment includes infusions and oral steroids.

This phase 2 study plans 594 patients. Merck sponsors seventy-one recruiting US sites.
