Program Overview

This study is being conducted at multiple centers to evaluate a new oral medication called emavusertib (CA-4948) for adults with relapsed or refractory primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). The trial is divided into two parts. In the first part, the safety and tolerability of emavusertib were tested alone and in combination with ibrutinib, a medication taken once daily.
