About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Sintilimab and R-CHOP regimen as the first-line treatment for DLBCL patients with TP53 mutation and PD-L1 positive.

Full description

This Phase II, open-label, single-center, non-randomized study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of induction treatment consisting of Sintilimab in combination with Rituximab plus chemotherapy (R-CHOP) as the first-line treatment in participants with DLBCL, followed by consolidation treatment with Sintilimab alone in patients who achieve CR at the end of induction.For safety reasons, the initial enrollment of the first 6 patients in the study will be slow and conduct intensive monitoring for safety. If the dose-limited toxicity event was observed in more than 2 of the first 6 patients and was assessed caused by cumulative exposure to the study drug combination therapy, the trial will be stopped.This study also aim to evaluate the correlation of clinical efficacy to the expression of PD-L1,PD-1,CD3,CD4,CD8,CD56,CD58,β2-MG，HLA-DR/DP/DQ and so on by immunohistochemical techniques.
