Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
In this study, the safety and preliminary efficacy of GNC-038 in participants with recurrent or refractory Diffuse Large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) will be investigated to assess the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or maximum administered dose (MAD) for MTD is not reached of GNC-038. The recommended dose for phase II (RP2D) clinical study will also be determined.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Recurrent or refractory participants that are, determined by the investigators, not applicable/tolerated to other treatments.
Recurrent and refractory are defined as follows:
Recurrent is the progression of disease after adequate treatment to remission, with at least one regimen containing rituximab.
Refractory refers to failure to respond to adequate treatment with rituximab containing regimen (combination chemotherapy or monotherapy) or disease progression during treatment/within 6 months of completion of adequate treatment.
"Adequate treatment with rituximab regimen" refers to the completion of rituximab combined with chemotherapy based on pathological type and disease stage requirements, or rituximab monotherapy with 375 mg/m2 injections at least 4 times a week. "Progress during treatment" requires completion of at least one cycle of rituximab plus chemotherapy or monotherapy if progress during induction therapy; At least one injection is completed if progress is made during maintenance therapy. "Mitigation" includes complete and partial mitigation.
