Testing the Addition of a New Anti-cancer Drug, Venetoclax, to Usual Chemotherapy for High Grade B-cell Lymphomas

This phase II/III trial tests whether it is possible to decrease the chance of high-grade B-cell lymphomas returning or getting worse by adding a new drug, venetoclax to the usual combination of drugs used for treatment. Venetoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking a protein called Bcl-2. Drugs used in usual chemotherapy, such as rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, prednisone, and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving venetoclax together with usual chemotherapy may work better than usual chemotherapy alone in treating patients with high-grade B-cell lymphomas, and may increase the chance of cancer going into remission and not returning.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if zilovertamab vedotin with standard treatment can help people live longer without the cancer growing or spreading than people who receive standard treatment alone.

Acalabrutinib With DA-EPOCH-R or R-CHOP for People With Untreated Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma

Background: Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is the most common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Most people with this cancer can be cured. But those who are not cured have a poor prognosis. Researchers want to add another drug to standard treatment see if it can improve the cure rate. Objective: To see if the drug acalabrutinib given with rituximab and standard combination chemotherapy can improve the cure rate of aggressive B-cell lymphomas such as diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with an aggressive B-cell lymphomas that have not been treated Design: Participants will be screened with: Blood and urine tests Physical exam Medical history Tumor biopsy Bone marrow biopsy: A needle will remove marrow from the participant s hipbone. Lumbar puncture: If necessary, a needle will remove fluid from the participant s spinal canal. Imaging scans Participants will take the study drug for up to 14 days. It is a pill taken 2 times a day. Then they will have more scans. They will get rituximab and chemotherapy. They may get these drugs through a needle in an arm vein. Or they may them through a tube placed in a vein in their chest or in their neck. They might also keep taking the study drug. Each treatment cycle lasts 21 days. They will have up to 6 cycles. Participants may have 4 doses of another drug injected into their spinal fluid. Participants will have repeats of the screening tests throughout the study. Participants will have a follow-up visit 30 days after their last treatment, then every 3 months for 2 years, then every 6 months for 3 years, and then yearly.

Venetoclax, Ibrutinib, Prednisone, Obinutuzumab, and Revlimid (ViPOR) in Relapsed/Refractory B-cell Lymphoma

Background: B-cell lymphoma is a cancer of white blood cells found in the lymph nodes. It affects the system that fights infections and disease. Researchers want to learn how certain drugs work together to treat B-cell lymphomas. The drugs are venetoclax, ibrutinib, prednisone, obinutuzumab, and lenalidomide (ViPOR). Objective: To study the safety of ViPOR for people with B-cell lymphoma. Eligibility: People ages 18 and older with B-cell lymphoma whose cancer has returned or not improved after treatment Design: Participants will be screened with: * Medical history * Physical exam * Blood, urine, and heart tests * Tissue sample from previous procedure * Imaging scans * Registration for counseling on the risks of lenalidomide. They must get counseling at least every 28 days. Participants will have a bone marrow aspiration before treatment. Participants may have tumor samples taken. Participants will get ViPOR in 21-day cycles. For up to 6 cycles: * Participants will get one drug by IV on days 1 and 2. * Participants will take the other four drugs by mouth on most days. After their first dose of venetoclax, they will stay in the clinic for at least 8 hours and return the next day for monitoring. They may be admitted for more drugs or monitoring. Participants will keep a drug diary. Participants will have a physical exam and blood and urine tests at least once per cycle. They will have scans 4 times over 6 cycles. Participants will have a visit about 1 month after their last dose of study drug. They will then have visits every few months for 3 years, and once a year for years 4 and 5. Visits include a physical exam, blood tests, and scans.

Nemtabrutinib and Pembrolizumab for the Treatment of Richter Transformation, Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma Subtype

This phase II trial tests how well nemtabrutinib in combination with pembrolizumab works in treating patients with Richter transformation, diffuse large B-cell lymphoma subtype (RT-DLBCL). Nemtabrutinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It blocks a protein called BTK, which is present on B-cells (a type of white blood cell) in cancers such as Richter transformation at abnormal levels. This may help keep cancer cells from growing and spreading. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving nemtabrutinib in combination with pembrolizumab may kill more cancer cells in patients with RT-DLBCL.

MRD-Adapted Low-Dose Radiation Therapy During Frontline Chemoimmunotherapy for Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

This prospective feasibility study evaluates a minimal residual disease (MRD)-adapted treatment strategy in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) receiving frontline chemoimmunotherapy. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA)-based MRD testing and interim positron emission tomography (PET) imaging after two cycles of therapy are used to guide treatment decisions. Patients with detectable MRD may receive low-dose radiation therapy (LDRT) to residual PET-avid disease sites in addition to standard systemic therapy, while patients with undetectable MRD continue standard frontline chemoimmunotherapy. The study aims to assess the feasibility and safety of integrating MRD-guided radiation therapy into frontline treatment of DLBCL.

A Study to Learn About the Effects of Two Study Medicines (Maplirpacept [PF-07901801] And Glofitamab) When Given Together In People With Relapsed Or Refractory Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the effects of two study medicines (maplirpacept \[PF-07901801\] and glofitamab) when given together for the treatment of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that is relapsed or is refractory. Relapsed means has returned after last treatment. Refractory means that it has not responded to last treatment. The two study medicines are given after a single dose of obinutuzumab which is the third study medicine. DLBCL is a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). NHL is a cancer of the lymphatic system. It develops when the body makes abnormal B lymphocytes. These lymphocytes are a type of white blood cell that normally help to fight infections. This study is seeking adult participants who: * Have histologically confirmed diagnosis of DLBCL * Have received at least two first lines of treatment for NHL. * Are unable or unwilling to undergo a stem cell transplant or CAR-T cell therapy. Stem cell transplant is a procedure in which a patient receives healthy blood-forming cells to replace their own stem cells that have been destroyed by treatment. A CAR-T therapy is a type of treatment in which a patient's T cells are changed in the laboratory so they will attack cancer cells. Everyone in this study will receive all three medicines at the study site by intravenous (IV) infusion which is given directly into a vein. The two study medicines (maplirpacept \[PF-07901801\] and glofitamab) will be given in 21-day cycles. At Cycle 0, participants will receive a single dose of obinutuzumab pre-treatment followed by two step-up doses of glofitamab. The combination of maplirpacept (PF-07901801) with glofitamab full dose will be administered for the first time at Cycle 1 Day 1. Maplirpacept (PF-07901801) will be given weekly for the first three cycles and then every three weeks. Glofitamab will be given every 3 weeks for approximately 9 months. Thereafter participants will continue to receive maplirpacept alone. Maplirpacept (PF-07901801) will be given at different doses to different participants. Everyone taking part will receive the same fixed doses of glofitamab and obinutuzumab studied in patients with DLBCL. The study will compare the experiences of people receiving different doses of maplirpacept (PF-07901801). This will help to determine what dose is safe and effective when given with the other 2 study medicines.

Participants who receive treatment with epcoritamab will have it injected right under the skin. Participants will receive a different regimen of epcoritamab depending upon which arm of treatment they are assigned. Participants who receive standard treatments will have intravenous (IV) infusions and/or oral administration of those treatments. Participants will receive a different standard treatment regimen depending upon which arm of treatment they are assigned.

Rituximab, Lenalidomide, Acalabrutinib, Tafasitamab Alone and With Combination Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Newly Diagnosed Non-germinal Center Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, Smart Stop Study

This phase II trial studies the effect of rituximab, lenalidomide, acalabrutinib, tafasitamab alone and in combination with chemotherapy in treating patients with newly diagnosed non-germinal center diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Rituximab and tafasitamab are monoclonal antibodies that may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Acalabrutinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as lenalidomide, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and vincristine, and work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Anti-inflammatory drugs, such as prednisone lower the body's immune response and are used with other drugs in the treatment of some types of cancer. Giving rituximab, lenalidomide, acalabrutinib, tafasitamab alone and with combination chemotherapy may help control non-germinal center diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
