Ultra Low Dose Radiation Delivered Before or After Chemotherapy-Free Targeted Therapy in Treating Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma

Phase II Trial to Assess the Efficacy of Ultra Low Radiation Dose Delivered Prior or After Chemotherapy Free Targeted Therapy for the Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma

Conditions

Summary

This phase II trial studies how well ultra low dose radiation works before or after chemotherapy-free targeted therapy in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Ultra low dose radiation is generally associated with a lower risk of side effects which may allow patients to be able to receive low-dose radiation therapy more often than high-dose radiation therapy. This trial may help doctors learn if giving ultra low dose radiation helps control mantle cell lymphoma and improves response to chemotherapy free targeted therapy.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This trial combines ultra-low dose radiation — a very small, targeted dose — with a targeted cancer drug called venetoclax (which blocks a protein that cancer cells use to survive) for patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), a type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The idea is that even very small amounts of radiation can 'sensitize' tumor cells to make venetoclax work better. **You may be eligible if...** - You have been diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), either newly diagnosed or previously treated - You are 18 or older in generally good health (ECOG performance status 2 or less) - You have measurable disease by CT scan - Women of childbearing potential must use reliable contraception and have a negative pregnancy test **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You are unable to swallow capsules - You are pregnant or breastfeeding - You have serious medical conditions affecting your participation - You have had a prior allergic reaction to any components of venetoclax Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
