Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study consists of a dose escalation/confirmation phase and an efficacy expansion phase. The dose escalation/confirmation phase is to determine the safety and tolerability and establish a preliminary recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of zilovertamab vedotin when administered in combination with R-CHP in participants with DLBCL who have received no prior treatment for their disease. The efficacy expansion phase is to determine the efficacy of the RP2D of zilovertamab vedotin when administered in combination with R-CHP in participants with DLBCL who have received no prior treatment for their disease.
