A Phase 2/3, Randomized, Double-Blind, Multi-center Study of Birelentinib Combined With R-CHOP in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

This study will treat patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). It will assess the anti-tumor efficacy and safety of birelentinib plus rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) vs placebo plus R-CHOP.
