- The study aims to determine if this drug combination is safe and causes few or mild side effects in patients with relapsed or refractory primary or secondary CNS lymphoma.
- Who it's for
- The study is looking for adults with relapsed or refractory primary CNS lymphoma or secondary CNS lymphoma.
- What's involved
- Participants will receive the two drugs and attend scheduled clinic visits for monitoring and tests to check safety and side effects.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
