A Phase 2 interventional study of Chidamide combined with R-GDP in Chidamide, Lymphoma, B-Cell and Lymphoma, Large B-Cell, Diffuse, sponsored by Fudan University. Status unknown at 2 sites in China. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 75 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-12-14.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate therapeutic efficacy of Chidamide combined with R-GDP （rituximab/gemcitabine/dexamethasone/cisplatin）in treating Patients with relapsed or refractory Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) not suitable for transplantation.
The treatment outcome of patients with relapsed or refractory Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) are not satisfactory especially for those not suitable for transplantation. One of main reason is chemotherapy resistance. The investigators conducted this study to evaluate the efficacy of Chidamide combined with R-GDP(rituximab/gemcitabine/dexamethasone/cisplatin) in treating patients with relapsed or refractory Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) not suitable for transplantation. Chidamide is a novel benzamide type of subtype-selective histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor. It has been approved by China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) for treatment of relapsed or refractory peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL) in Chinese population. The investigators' pre-clinical data suggested that this agent might be also efficient in the treatment of relapsed/refractory B cell lymphoma. In this open-label, non-randomized, phase II study, the investigators aimed to observe the efficacy and safety of chidamide combined with R-GDP in patients with relapsed or refractory Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) not suitable for transplantation.

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.
Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.
A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.
Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.
Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.
You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.
The study doctor’s estimate of how long someone is likely to live. Criteria use it so that people can stay in the study long enough for it to answer its question.
The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
A recording of the heart’s electrical activity, taken with stickers on the chest, arms and legs. It takes a few minutes and does not hurt.
The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.
It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.
Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.
The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).
A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.
Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.
Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.
Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.
The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.
“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.
How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.
The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.
Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.
