Pembrolizumab and Tazemetostat to Overcome Immune Tolerance Following Autologous Stem Cell Transplantation (ASCT) or Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy in Patients with Aggressive B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma

Trial Status: active

This phase II trial tests how well pembrolizumab and tazemetostat work to treat patients who have received autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) or chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy for aggressive non hodgkins lymphoma. A monoclonal antibody, such as pembrolizumab, 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). Tazemetostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving pembrolizumab and tazemetostat may work better to treat patients who have received ASCT or CAR-T cell therapy for aggressive non hodgkins lymphoma.
