Overview

Zynlonta is a medicine for treating two types of B-cell lymphoma (a type of blood cancer):

  • diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL);
  • high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBL).

Zynlonta is used to treat adults with B-cell lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) after two or more treatments or that did not respond to previous treatment (refractory).

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma is rare, and Zynlonta was designated an ‘orphan medicine’ (a medicine used in rare diseases) on 20 August 2021. Further information on the orphan designation can be found here: https://www.ema.europa.eu/en/medicines/human/orphan-designations/eu-3-21-2481
