Study on Tafasitamab and Lenalidomide for Relapsed Central Nervous System Lymphoma
Sponsor: James Rubenstein
ClinicalTrials ID:NCT05351593
This clinical trial is testing a combination of two drugs, Tafasitamab and Lenalidomide, to see if they can help treat patients with central nervous system lymphoma that has returned after previous treatments. The study also explores if Tafasitamab can help other drugs reach the brain more effectively.

Program Overview
This study is investigating whether a combination of Tafasitamab, an anti-CD19 antibody, and Lenalidomide, an immune-modulating drug, can effectively treat patients with central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma that has come back after previous treatments. Researchers are also exploring if Tafasitamab can help other drugs cross the blood-brain barrier, which could have important implications for treating brain-related conditions.
Description
The main goals of this study are to find the best dose of Lenalidomide when used with Tafasitamab and to see how well this combination works in treating relapsed CNS lymphoma. The study will also look at the side effects of the treatment and how it affects the cancer.
Researchers will explore how well Tafasitamab and Lenalidomide can penetrate the brain and spinal fluid, and how the combination affects the immune system and cancer cells. They will also study the relationship between the genetic makeup of the tumor and the patient's response to the treatment.
The study is divided into two phases. In Phase I, different doses of Lenalidomide will be tested with Tafasitamab to find the safest and most effective dose. In Phase II, the focus will be on how well the treatment works at the established dose. Participants will be monitored for side effects and overall health for up to a year after the last dose. They can continue the treatment until the cancer progresses.
