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.

A Study of WZTL-002 CAR T-cells for Adults With Relapsed Large B-cell Lymphoma

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if a new type of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy called WZTL-002 is effective and safe for the treatment large B-cell lymphomas (LBCL) that have not responded to or have come back after standard chemotherapy. The main questions this trial aims to answer are: * What is the likelihood of complete response of the lymphoma after WZTL-002 treatment? * What is the risk of altered brain function (neurotoxicity) after WZTL-002? All eligible participants will receive WZTL-002; the researchers will compare the complete response rate and neurotoxicity rate with historical groups of patients who were treated with similar therapies. Participants will: * Have a procedure to gather white blood cells * Receive chemotherapy to prepare for the CAR T-cells * Receive WZTL-002 CAR T-cells through a vein * Be monitored closely for the first 14 days for certain side effects * Have scans 28 days and 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after WZTL-002 CAR T-cells to check if the treatment has worked

Polatuzumab Vedotin and Combination Chemotherapy With or Without Glofitamab for the Treatment of Untreated Aggressive Large B-cell Lymphoma

This phase I trial studies the side effects of polatuzumab vedotin when given with combination chemotherapy with or without glofitamab for the treatment of patients with untreated large B-cell lymphoma that grows and spreads quickly and has severe symptoms (aggressive). Polatuzumab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, polatuzumab, linked to a toxic agent called vedotin. Polatuzumab attaches to CD79B positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. Glofitamab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Drugs used in combination chemotherapy such as etoposide, cyclophosphamide, and doxorubicin 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. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. 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 polatuzumab vedotin in combination chemotherapy with or without glofitamab may help treat patients with aggressive large B-cell lymphoma.

P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 Allogeneic CAR-T Cells in the Treatment of Subjects With B Cell Malignancies

Phase 1 study comprised of open-label, dose escalation and expansion cohort study of P-CD19CD20-ALLO1 allogeneic T stem cell memory (Tscm) CAR-T cells in subjects with relapsed/refractory B cell malignancies

ctDNA-guided Therapy Optimization in Newly Diagnosed DLBCL

The purpose of this study is to 1) determine whether it is feasible to measure circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in real-time during standard treatment for newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and 2) evaluate the outcomes of participants with undetectable ctDNA in the middle of treatment who receive a shortened course of chemotherapy. There are no investigational drug agents to be administered in this study. The investigational assay, phased variant enrichment and detection sequencing (PhasED-seq) will be used to guide de-escalation of standard-of-care therapy for newly diagnosed DLBCL. The PhasED-seq assay has not yet been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Epcoritamab With Dose Adjusted Etoposide, Cyclophosphamide, Vincristine, Doxorubicin, Prednisone and Rituximab (EPOCH-R) for the Treatment of Aggressive B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

This phase II trial tests the safety, best dose, and effectiveness of epcoritamab when given with etoposide, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, prednisone and rituximab (EPOCH-R) for the treatment of patients with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Epcoritamab is a bispecific antibody that can bind to two different antigens at the same time. Epcoritamab binds to CD3, a T-cell surface antigen, and CD20 (a tumor-associated antigen that is expressed on B-cells during most stages of B-cell development and is often overexpressed in B-cell cancers) and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Etoposide is in a class of medications known as podophyllotoxin derivatives. It blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair and may kill cancer cells. Cyclophosphamide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by damaging the cell's DNA and may kill cancer cells. It may also lower the body's immune response. Vincristine is in a class of medications called vinca alkaloids. It works by stopping cancer cells from growing and dividing and may kill them. Doxorubicin is in a class of medications called anthracyclines. Doxorubicin damages the cell's DNA and may kill cancer cells. It also blocks a certain enzyme needed for cell division and DNA repair. Prednisone is in a class of medications called corticosteroids. It is used to reduce inflammation and lower the body's immune response to help lessen the side effects of chemotherapy drugs. Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody. It binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types of cancer cells. The EPOCH-R is administrated as the standard of care treatment. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Giving epcoritamab with EPOCH-R may be safe, tolerable, and effective in treating patients with aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Nanochip Technology in Monitoring Treatment Response and Detecting Relapse in Participants With Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

This trial studies how well nanochip technology (immuno-tethered lipoplex nanoparticle \[ILN\] biochip) works in monitoring treatment response and in detecting relapse in participants with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Finding genetic markers for diffuse large B-cell lymphoma may help identify participants with this disease and help predict the outcome of treatment. It is not yet known how well ILN biochip-based testing monitors treatment response or detects relapse in participants with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Nivolumab With or Without Varlilumab in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Aggressive B-cell Lymphomas

This phase II trial studies how well nivolumab with or without varlilumab works in treating patients with aggressive B-cell lymphomas that have come back (recurrent) or do not respond to treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as varlilumab and nivolumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread.

Acalabrutinib and Anti-CD19 CAR T-cell Therapy for the Treatment of B-cell Lymphoma

This phase I/II trial studies the safety of acalabrutinib and axicabtagene ciloleucel in treating patients with B-cell lymphoma. Acalabrutinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking key pathways needed for cell growth. Immunotherapy with axicabtagene ciloleucel is engineered to target a specific surface antigen on lymphoma cells. Acalabrutinib may enhance the efficacy of axicabtagene ciloleucel in treating patients with B-cell lymphoma.

A Phase 1/2 Study of IDP-121 in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Hematologic Malignancies

The main aims of this 2-part study are: * Phase I: To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) of IDP-121 in patients with multiple myeloma (MM), diffuse large B cell lymphoma not otherwise specified (DLBCL-NOS), high-grade B cell lymphoma with double or triple hit rearrangement (HGBL-DH/TH) and HGBL-NOS, and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). * Phase II: To evaluate the overall response rate (ORR), duration of response (DoR), time to progression (TTP), progression-free survival (PFS), event-free survival (EFS) and Overall survival (OS), in patients with MM, DLBCL-NOS, HGBL-DH/TH, HGBL-NOS or CLL treated with IDP-121 at the recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D).

Epcoritamab Compared to Observation for Treating B-cell Lymphoma Patients Not in Complete Remission After CD19-directed CAR-T Therapy

This phase II trial compares epcoritamab to standard practice (observation) for the treatment of patients with B-cell lymphomas who are not in complete remission after treatment with CD19-directed chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy. Epcoritamab is a bispecific antibody. It works by simultaneously attaching to a molecule called CD20 on cancerous B-cells and a molecule called CD3 on effector T-cells, which are a type of immune cell. When epcoritamab binds to CD20 and CD3, it brings the two cells together and activates the T-cells to kill the cancerous B-cells. Epcoritamab may increase a patient's chances of achieving complete remission after CD19-directed CAR-T therapy, compared to standard observation.
