Three centers in the United States are recruiting patients with indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma to receive the investigational selective PI3Kδ inhibitor zandelisib in combination with rituximab in a phase 3 clinical trial setting. The study aims to determine the efficacy and safety of zandelisib in combination with rituximab compared with standard immunochemotherapy.

The first patient with marginal zone lymphoma has been dosed in the global phase 2 TIDAL study of zandelisib, a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) delta inhibitor, for the treatment of MZL and follicular lymphoma in patients who have received at least 2 or more prior therapies.

Following rituximab resistance, the combination of lenalidomide and rituximab led to durable improvements in outcome for patients with indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas and mantle cell lymphomas, even after 10 years of follow-up, according to long-term results presented at the European Hematology Association 2021 Congress.

A phase 3 trial has been initiated to explore the potential of a triplet regimen of tafasitamab-cxix, lenalidomide, and R-CHOP as a treatment options for patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Time-to-next treatment and overall survival were improved in a real-world study evaluating patients who received rituximab maintenance after first-line treatment with bendamustine and rituximab or R-CHOP in patients with mantle cell lymphoma, according to a retrospective analysis presented at the European Hematology Association 2021 Virtual conference.
