ECHELON-3

Trial ID: NCT04404283
The purpose of this clinical research study is to test the study drug with standard of care therapies, in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) that did not get better or that came back after treatment compared to treatment with standard of care therapies alone. USM/BVM/2021/0043
Seagen is dedicated to our goal of ensuring that all patients are represented in our clinical trials. It is important to Seagen that the therapies we make improve the lives of all people with cancer, including those who have been historically underrepresented due to their sex, race, ethnicity, or age. — Seagen Commitment to Diversity & Inclusion

Trial Details

In the ECHELON-3 study, about 400 participants with DLBCL will be randomized into two groups.

  • One group will get the study drug with a standard of care medication
  • One group will get a placebo with a standard of care medication. A placebo has no real drug in it.

The group you are in will be chosen randomly, like tossing a coin. Neither you nor the study team will know which group you are in until the end of the study.

Study participation may last up to 5 years, and the study is divided into the following periods:

  • Screening Period (up to 4 weeks):
    • You will have some tests and procedures to see if you are eligible for the study.
    • These tests will be done during one or more office visits.
  • Study Treatment Period (21-day study cycles):
    • You will receive the investigational drug or a placebo into your arm by an intravenous (IV) infusion on the first day of each 21-day study cycle.
    • You will receive a standard of care therapy by IV infusion on the first day of each 21-day study cycle. After the first study cycle, you may receive standard of care therapy by injection under the skin.
    • The study doctor will give you another standard of care therapy by pill to take at home once a day.
    • The study cycles may continue for as long as your cancer is stable or getting better.
  • End-of-Treatment Visit (30 days after last treatment):
    • During this visit, you will have some tests and answer questions about your cancer.
  • Safety Visit (3 to 4 months after last dose of SOC Therapy):
    • During this visit, you will have some tests and answer questions about your cancer.
  • Long-term Follow-up Period (ongoing):
    • After the Safety Visit, you will have follow-up visits or phone calls every 3 months for about a year, and then every 6 months after that.
