Summary

The purpose of this study is to see if the combination of rituximab and venetoclax is effective in treating participants with untreated Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL). The names of the study drugs involved in this study are: * Venetoclax (a type of inhibitor) * Rituximab (a type of antibody)

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with untreated Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL), a type of lymphoma. Specific eligibility criteria are not provided, but typically participants must meet certain health standards and may be excluded based on factors like other medical conditions or treatments.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effectiveness of combining two drugs, Venetoclax and Rituximab, in treating MZL. Venetoclax is an inhibitor that targets cancer cells, while Rituximab is an antibody that helps the immune system attack cancer.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects from Venetoclax include diarrhea, nausea, low blood cell counts increasing infection risk, and fatigue. Rituximab can cause infusion reactions, infections due to weakened immunity, heart issues and skin rashes.
