Learning objective: After reading this article, learners will be able to cite a new clinical development in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.


On May 21, 2025, China’s National Medical Products Administration (NMPA) granted approval for tafasitamab, a CD19-targeting monoclonal antibody, in combination with lenalidomide, followed by tafasitamab monotherapy, for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) who are ineligible for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (auto-HSCT).1 Tafasitamab plus lenalidomide was previously approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the European Medicines Agency (EMA) for the same indication.1

This approval was based on results from Chinese clinical studies of this combination, which showed similar results to the global L-MIND study (NCT02399085).1 It is the first CD19 antibody approved for the treatment of R/R DLBCL in China.
