Novartis

Conditions:

Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma

Eligibility:

All Genders

18+ years

Phase:

PHASE2

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is evaluate the response, safety and tolerability in subjects receiving the investigational drugs, RAD001 and LBH589. Subjects in Part 1 will receive one drug for four cycles...

Detailed Description

This will be a prospective, non-randomized, un-blinded phase 2 efficacy trial using a mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor and a histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor for epigenetic targete...
