Study of Acalabrutinib and Rituximab in Untreated Elderly and/or Frail Patients With DLBCL
Phase 2
Recruiting
- Conditions
- Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT05952024
- Lead Sponsor
- AstraZeneca
- Brief Summary
The study will measure the safety, tolerability, and efficacy with acalabrutinib in combination with rituximab in treatment-naïve elderly and/or frail patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), who are otherwise unsuitable for standard front line chemoimmunotherapy treatments.
- Detailed Description
Treatment-naïve elderly and/or frail patients with DLBCL will be treated with acalabrutinib in combination with rituximab in a single arm.
Study details include the following:
* The study duration will be up to 108 weeks for each patient, including up to 28 days for screening and 104 weeks of treatment and follow-up.
* The treatment duration will be up to 8 cycles for rituximab and 28 cycles for acalabrutinib both beginning at cycle 1.

- At least 1 lesion that can be accurately measured at baseline as ≥ 10 mm in the longest diameter with computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging and is suitable for accurate repeated measurements.
- Adequate organ and marrow function independent of growth factor or transfusion support within 1 week of Screening.
Exclusion Criteria

Group Intervention Description Acalabrutinib and Rituximab Acalabrutinib Patients will receive Dose A of acalabrutinib orally in X dosing schedule beginning on Cycle 1 Day 1 for a maximum of 28 cycles or until 2014 Lugano Classification for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL)-defined disease progression or another discontinuation criterion is met. Patients will also receive an intravenous (IV) infusion of Dose B rituximab on Cycle 1 Day 15 and Dose C of rituximab as an subcutaneous (SC) injection on Day 1 of Cycle 2 through Cycle 8. Acalabrutinib and Rituximab Rituximab Patients will receive Dose A of acalabrutinib orally in X dosing schedule beginning on Cycle 1 Day 1 for a maximum of 28 cycles or until 2014 Lugano Classification for Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL)-defined disease progression or another discontinuation criterion is met. Patients will also receive an intravenous (IV) infusion of Dose B rituximab on Cycle 1 Day 15 and Dose C of rituximab as an subcutaneous (SC) injection on Day 1 of Cycle 2 through Cycle 8.
