ClinicalTrials ID:NCT06263491

This clinical trial is exploring whether a combination of two drugs, pirtobrutinib and rituximab, can help achieve long-term remission in patients with low and intermediate risk mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) without using chemotherapy.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The study aims to find out if using pirtobrutinib (also known as LOXO-305) together with rituximab can effectively control mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) in patients who have not received any previous treatment and are considered low or intermediate risk. Researchers are also looking at the safety of this drug combination.

Description

The main goals of this study are to see how well the combination of pirtobrutinib and rituximab works in treating low and intermediate risk mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and to understand its safety profile. Researchers will measure the effectiveness by looking at the overall response rate, which includes complete and partial responses, after three cycles of treatment. They will also evaluate the safety of the treatment in these patients.

Secondary goals include assessing the complete response rate, the best overall response, and how long patients remain free from disease progression. The study will also look at the overall survival of patients and the rate of minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity, which indicates a very low level of cancer cells remaining.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Adults aged 18 years or older.
  • Diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) confirmed by pathology, with CD20 positivity. Certain cases with cyclin D1 negative MCL are allowed after confirmation.
  • Newly diagnosed MCL with no prior treatment.
    • Low risk: Ki-67% 30% or less, no high-risk features, largest tumor size 3 cm or less.
    • Medium risk: Ki-67% 50% or less, largest tumor size 5 cm or less, no high-risk features.
  • Participants with well-controlled cardiovascular conditions are allowed, including those on certain medications, with prior heart procedures, or with specific heart test results.
  • Must understand and sign an informed consent form.
  • Must have at least one site of disease that can be measured by scans, but certain isolated disease sites are allowed.
  • ECOG performance status of 2 or less, indicating the ability to carry out light work.
  • Blood clotting times within specified limits, with exceptions for certain conditions.
  • Adequate bone marrow and organ function as determined by specific blood tests.
  • Life expectancy of more than 12 weeks related to lymphoma.
  • Female participants must be surgically sterile, postmenopausal, or have a negative pregnancy test before starting treatment.
  • Participants must agree to use effective contraception during and after treatment, with specific methods recommended.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Central nervous system involvement with MCL or certain brain conditions.

  • Difficulty swallowing or absorbing oral medication.
  • Recent stroke or brain bleeding.
  • Recent vaccination with live vaccines.
  • Allergies to study drugs.
  • Previous severe reactions to similar treatments.
  • Positive HIV test or active hepatitis B or C infection.
  • Other uncontrolled health conditions that may pose a risk.
  • Prolonged QT interval on heart tests.
