Clinical Trial Summary

This is a multicenter, single-arm, prospective phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a novel combination regimen for relapsed/refractory PCNSL. Specifically, ibrutinib will be administered in combination with ifosfamide, etoposide and rituximab (IBER) as a salvage chemotherapy, which is followed by maintenance ibrutinib monotherapy of fixed duration.


Clinical Trial Description

Given the limited activity of salvage therapy with high-dose methotrexate re-treatment and/or alkylator-based treatment in patients with relapse or refractory PCNSL, the development of novel salvage chemotherapy regimen remains an area of clinical unmet need.

Ibrutinib, an oral inhibitor of bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK), is known to induce death of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cells with dysregulated B-cell receptor (BCR) signaling and has shown promising activity in patients with a variety of B-cell malignancies. Recently, several studies reported that ibrutinib may have an excellent single-agent clinical activity against relapsed or refractory PCNSL. Furthermore, proven pharmacokinetic data suggested that ibrutinib successfully penetrated the BBB and reached the achievable concentration in cerebrospinal fluid. When ibrutinib is administered in combination with BBB-destructing chemotherapeutic agents (such as, temozolomide or etoposide) for salvage treatment of PCNSL, therefore, anti-lymphoma activity of ibrutinib could be maximized.

In this context, this phase II study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IBER salvage chemotherapy followed by ibrutinib maintenance for transplant ineligible patients with relapsed or refractory PCNSL. ;
