Brief Summary: This Phase 2, two-arm, open-label study is designed to evaluate the safety, clinical activity, and predictive biomarkers of durvalumab in combination with R-CHOP or R2-CHOP, followed by durvalumab consolidation therapy in previously untreated subjects with high-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Induction treatment with R-CHOP (± lenalidomide) will last for a total of up to 6 to 8 treatment cycles (21 day cycles), and the total time on study treatment, including durvalumab consolidation, will last up to 12 months. On 05-Sep-2017, the US FDA has issued a Partial Clinical Hold on this study resulting in the discontinuation of enrollment into Arm B (Durvalumab + Lenalidomide + R-CHOP). After the US FDA Partial Clinical Hold, new eligible participants have been enrolled in Arm A (Durvalumab + R-CHOP).
Detailed Description: This research study is conducted in participants with previously untreated, high-risk diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Patients with high-risk DLBCL typically have insufficient therapeutic outcomes. Therefore, the addition of novel agents to the currently used induction therapy (R-CHOP) is a rational approach to improve therapeutic outcomes in this disease setting. Based on pre-clinical and clinical observations, it is hypothesized that durvalumab will have activity in DLBCL because the PD 1/PD L1 pathway is involved in the pathophysiology of DLBCL. In particular, the addition of durvalumab may augment the anti-tumor activity of R-CHOP against high-risk DLBCL sub-types. The safety of durvalumab has already been explored. However, as there is limited clinical experience with durvalumab in DLBCL, the study is divided into two stages: * A Safety Run-in Stage to evaluate the safety of the treatment combinations until at least 10 subjects are included in each of the two treatment arms * An Expansion Stage to analyze the clinical activity of the treatment combinations Results posted following Primary Outcome Completion date are based on a database cut-off of August 2, 2018.
