Non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), with high aggressiveness and mortality, is one of the top ten high-incidence tumors in the world and is among the ten most prevalent cancers worldwide with the fastest growing incidence. B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (B-NHL) is the most common type of NHL. Although novel immunotherapies represented by anti-CD20 monoclonal antibodies and CAR-T cell therapies have significantly improved the prognosis of B-NHL patients, there are still nearly one-third of patients who are resistant to initial treatment or relapse after remission.~High-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBL)-DH/TH with MYC/BCL2 and/or BCL6 translocation, accounts for about 7-10% in DLBCL. The remission rate of conventional chemotherapy is low.(ORR:32%,CR:12%). The median OS is 12 months. The survival outcome of induction chemotherapy is improved limited compared to R-CHOP. Currently, there are a lack of effective treatments options for HGBL. How to improve curative effect needs more research.~Zanubrutinib is an oral small molecule BTK inhibitor, and has shown good efficacy and safety in multiple subtypes of B-cell lymphoma. Zanubrutinib received FDA approval for adult mantle-cell lymphoma (MCL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma/chronic lymphocytic leukemia (SLL/CLL) patients who have received at least one previous treatment on 15 Nov 2019, becoming the first US-listed Chinese innovative anti-cancer drug. However, the efficacy of zanubrutinib in highly aggressive B-cell lymphoma remains to be further studied.~Therefore, we present this study protocol to add Zanubrutinib to the first-line treatment of highly aggressive B-NHL, applying zanubrutinib combined with rituximab plus chemotherapy in the treatment of highly aggressive B-NHL compared to rituximab plus chemotherapy.
