Filter by:This single-center, open, single-arm study aim to evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of a therapy introducing zanubrutinib on the basis of rituximab and methotrexate (MTX) [or temozolomide (TMZ), if intolerant to MTX] in treating patients newly diagnosed with primary CNS large B-cell lymphoma and intolerant to HSCT.
PCNSL is a rare and aggressive subtype of B lymphoma that has been recognized as a distinct disease entity in the latest edition of the WHO Classification of Tumors of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissue and is defined as DLBCL that develops exclusively in the brain parenchyma, spinal cord, leptomeninges and eye. In patients under 70 years of age without severe comorbidities, first-line treatment with induction chemo-immunotherapy according to the MATRix scheme (Methotrexate, Cytarabine, Tiothepa, Rituximab) and subsequent consolidation with HDCT followed by ASCT achieved the best results in terms of PFS and OS. Data on patients enrolled in a randomized phase 2 study showed an OS of 70% at a median FU of 88 months. In patients> 70 years of age or with low KPS, the prognosis remains significantly lower in the younger population. Several population studies have shown a stable increase over the past 30 years in terms of PFS and OS in patients aged under 70 years, while in patients over 70 years or with KPS <70%, the survival curves are not satisfactory. in part because these patients are often referred to BSC alone, despite the benefit in PFS and OS demonstrated with HD-MTX-based treatments (≥1 g / m2) combined with oral alkylating agents or cytarabine in high doses.
Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare extranodal non-hodgkin's lymphoma confined to the central nervous system. It accounts for about 4% of all intracranial tumors and 4% to 6% of all non-Hodgkin's lymphomas . Among them, the most common type is diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), accounting for about 95% of all cases. High dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) based chemotherapy can improve the prognosis of patients, but only 30% to 40% of patients can achieve sustained remission, and the overall prognosis is very poor[4, 6]. Currently, the International Extranodal Lymphoma Study Group (IESLG) prognostic scoring system and the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) prognostic index are widely used to evaluate the prognosis in patients with PCNSL. However, IESLG model has some limitations such as the relatively small number of patients and short follow-up period. MSKCC model may have an inherent selection bias because retrospective data were collected from a single large institution. Therefore, there is a urgent need to identify novel indicators for prognosis evaluation and risk stratification in PCNSL patients.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the maximum tolerated dose and efficacy of Orelabrutinib combined with Thiotepa in refractory and relapsed primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL).
The purpose of the study is to test the efficacy and tolerability of a combination treatment of methotrexate, ibrutinib, and temozolomide (MIT regimen) in treating patients who have newly-diagnosed primary CNS lymphoma.
It is a multicenter, open-Label, randomised phase 2 study to compare the efficacy and safety study of R2-MTX chemotherapy（Lenalidomide, Rituximab and Methotrexate）with R-MTX chemotherapy（Rituximab and Methotrexate ）as first-line regimens in the treatment of newly diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma.2-year Progression free survival (PFS) is the primary endpoint.
The phase II clinical study is to investigate the safety, tolerability, efficacy and pharmacokinetics of ICP-022.
This pilot study will i) evaluate the efficacy and the safety of bendamustine-based combination chemotherapy and ii) investigate the pharmacokinetics (PK)of bendamustine in plasma and CSF when given as salvage treatment for patients with relapsed or refractory primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL).
