Plain-language summary
This phase II trial studies how well rituximab, venetoclax, and bortezomib work in treating patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Venetoclax and bortezomib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the proteins needed for cell growth. Giving rituximab, venetoclax, and bortezomib may slow or stop the growth of cancer cells in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Inclusion Criteria:
* Relapsed/refractory DLBCL defined as any of the following:
* Confirmed DLBCL/Burkitt lymphoma (BL)/B-cell lymphoma, unclassifiable (BCLU) by World Health Organization (WHO) 2016 classification
* Double hit lymphoma (DHL) phenotype as confirmed by FISH (fluorescent in-situ hybridization) or IHC (immunohistochemistry)
* Relapsed or progression of disease after at least one prior line of standard rituximab-cyclophosphamide-hydroxydaunorubicin-oncovin-prednisone (R-CHOP), rituximab-etoposide-prednisone-oncovin-cyclophosphamide-hydroxydaunorubicin (R-EPOCH) or other R-CHOP-like therapy
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2
* No prior treatment with a proteasome inhibitor or prior BCL2 inhibitor
* No cytotoxic chemotherapy within 2 weeks prior to study treatment
* Patients who are not candidates for salvage stem cell transplant or patients who are not candidates for CAR-T (chimeric antigen receptor T-cell) therapy, patients who have progressed or relapsed after a salvage transplant or CAR-T therapy are eligible
* Patients must give informed consent
* Prior radiation therapy allowed to \< 25% of the bone marrow and patients must have recovered from the toxic effects of the treatment prior to study enrollment (except for alopecia). Patients treated with standard postoperative adjuvant radiation therapy for other cancers are allowed. Prior radiotherapy must be completed 14 days before study entry. Lesions that have been radia…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
