What This Trial Is Studying

Researchers are looking for ways to treat germinal center B-cell-like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (GCB DLBCL). DLBCL is a fast-growing blood cancer that affects B-cells. GCB is a type of DLBCL that affects young B-cells that are still maturing. The goal of this study is to learn if more people who receive zilovertamab vedotin (MK-2140) and R-CHP have the cancer respond (go away) than those who receive polatuzumab vedotin and R-CHP.

Eligibility Snapshot
  • : The main inclusion criteria include but are not limited to the following: * Has histologically confirmed diagnosis of germinal center B-cell (GCB) subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), by prior biopsy, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of neoplasms of the hematopoietic and lymphoid tissues. * Has positron emission tomography (PET) positive disease at screening, defined as 4 to 5 on the Lugano 5-point scale. * Has received no prior treatment for their DLBCL. * Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infected participants must have well controlled HIV on antiretroviral therapy (ART). * Participants who are hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive are eligible if they have received hepatitis B virus (HBV) antiviral therapy and have undetectable HBV viral load prior to randomization. * Participants with history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection are eligible if HCV viral load is undetectable at screening.
