Diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Follicular Lymphoma (FL) are the most common non Hodgkin lymphomas. Standard first line treatment achieves cure in approximately half of patients. However 30% die from relapsed lymphoma. Durvalumab (an antibody which blocks programmed cell death ligand 1) and other immunotherapies fight cancer by blocking barriers to immune system activity. Immune control of lymphoma provides the prospect of cure, even when chemotherapy has failed. Radiotherapy has striking effects on the immune system and can boost responses to these immunotherapies. The effect of concurrent radiotherapy and durvalumab in DLBCL and FL is unproven. This study will evaluate the safety and effect of simultaneous radiotherapy plus durvalumab (a PD-L1 inhibitor) in relapsed DLBCL and FL patients.
