TORCH

TORCH: A phase II study to determine the safety and efficacy of the dual mTORC inhibitor AZD2014 and to investigate additional toxicities in combination with rituximab in relapsed/refractory Diffuse Large B cell Lymphoma (DLBCL).

Trial Overview and Summary

We want to see if a medicine called AZD2014 is effective and safe to use when treating 30 patients with relapsed or refractory Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma. In six patients we will also add the medicine Rituximab to AZD2014 to see if this can be done without increasing the toxicity of AZD2014. 

AZD2014 will be given as tablets to be swallowed twice a day on days 1 and 2 of every week.  Rituximab will be infused into the blood vessels on day 1 of every 28 days (once every 4 weeks) for a maximum of 6 cycles.
