We’re excited to announce that Providence St. Jude Crosson Cancer Institute is enrolling patients in a new cancer research study focused on diffuse large B-cell lymphoma ( )—a common and aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Why this study matters:
• It’s exploring a new treatment option that may help patients earlier in their care, right after their first treatment stops working.
• This approach may be especially helpful for those who aren’t eligible for more intensive treatments like stem cell transplants or CAR-T therapy.
• The treatment being studied is already approved for later stages of the disease, and this trial is helping us understand how it might benefit patients even sooner.

Providence St. Jude is proud to be part of advancing cancer care and expanding access to innovative therapies for our community. To learn more or see if you qualify, please contact our research team at 714.446.5177 or visit https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT06806033?term=GO45434&rank=1
