“We are pleased that updated clinical trial results of the phase 2 L-MIND study with our antibody MOR208 in combination with lenalidomide in patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse large B cell lymphoma (R/R DLBCL) who are not eligible for high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem-cell transplantation will be shown at the upcoming ASH (Free ASH Whitepaper) conference in a poster presentation,” commented Dr. Malte Peters, Chief Development Officer of MorphoSys AG. “We see a particularly high unmet medical need for these blood cancer patients and look forward to presenting an update from our ongoing study in this patient group.”
