A Dose-escalating Pilot Study of Orelabrutinib for Newly-diagnosed PCNSL

Phase 1
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT05036577
Lead Sponsor
Huashan Hospital
Brief Summary

This is a single arm, single center, open label pilot study of Orelabrutinib combined with Rituximab, high-dose (HD) Methotrexate and Dexamethasone in newly-diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphpoma (PCNSL). The purpose is to evaluate the safety and to find the optimal dose of Orelabrutinib and Methotrexate in this combination treatment for newly-diagnosed PCNSL patients.

Detailed Description

The eligible patients will be treated with Orelabrutinib combined with Rituximab, high-dose Methotrexate and Dexamethasone during induction treatment (6-8 cycles; 21 days/cycle): Rituximab 375 mg/m2, intravenous infusion, d1; HD-MTX 3.5 g/m2 intravenous infusion (3h), d2; Dexamethasone 10-15 mg, iv, d1-4. Orelabrutinib will be given 72h after MTX infusion or until MTX clearance. The study will investigate optimal dose combination of Orelabrutinib and MTX implementing BOIN waterfall design. The starting dose of Orelabrutinib is 150 mg/d and the dose will be escalated to 200 mg/d, throughout the whole cycle. Meanwhile, the starting dose of MTX is 3g/m2 and will be escalated to 5g/m2, throughout induction phase. Dose escalation and movement in dose matrix will be determined by BOIN algorithm. For CR/CRu patients after completion of induction treatment, daily Orelabrutinib will be administered as maintenance treatment for up to 1 year or until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, death, informed consent withdrawal or lost of follow up (whichever occurs first). Patients will be evaluated every 2 cycles during induction therapy and every 12 weeks during maintenance therapy.

GroupInterventionDescription
ORMD (Orelabrutinib, Rituximab, Methotrexate and Dexamethasone)Methotrexate (MTX)Patients were treated for 6-8 cycles of induction therapy with 21 days per cycle, receiving rituximab (375mg/m2 on day 1), dexamethasone (10-15mg on d1-d4), MTX (d2, 3.5g/m2 or 5g/m2), and orelabrutinib (once daily, after MTX clearance, 150mg/d, or 200mg/d), followed by orelabrutinib maintenance up to one year among CR/CRu patients or until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, death, informed consent withdrawal or lost of follow up (whichever occurs first). The primary objective was to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of the combination of orelabrutinib and MTX with R and D and investigate the safety and tolerability of this regimen using Bayesian Optimal Interval (BOIN) waterfall design to determine rule of dose escalation and movement among dose combination matrix to identify MTD contour.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
define the Maximum tolerated dose (MTD) contour of Orelabrutinib and MTXFrom the start of the first dose of Orelabrutinib to the end of the first cycle of induction treatment (21 days/cycle)

A BOIN waterfall design will be employed. Two dose levels of Orelabrutinib (dose level 1: 150 mg/d, dose level 2: 200 mg/d) and two dose levels of MTX (dose level 1: 3.5g/m2, dose level 2: 5g/m2) will be investigated, generating 4 dose combination. DLT was defined by the occurrence of severe toxicities during the first cycle: any grade 4 hematologic toxicity, grade 3 febrile neutropenia and grade 3 thrombocytopenia with hemorrhage, or any grade 3 non-hematologic toxicity that failed to respond to supportive therapy and possibly related to orelabrutinib and/or MTX (assessed according to NCI CTCAE V5.0)
