Zanubrutinib With Pemetrexed to Treat Relapsed/Refractory Primary and Secondary Central Nervous System (CNS) Lymphomas

Zanubrutinib With Pemetrexed for the Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Primary and Secondary CNS Lymphomas: A Phase II Trial With a Safety Lead-In


Sponsor

Baptist Health South Florida

Enrollment

15 participants

Start Date

Apr 25, 2024

Study Type

INTERVENTIONAL

Conditions

Summary

This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the combination of pemetrexed and zanubrutinib (called induction therapy) followed by zanubrutinib treatment alone (also called maintenance therapy) in people who have relapsed or refractory (RR) primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) or isolated central nervous system relapse of B cell lymphoma (SCNSL). Assessments include how well people respond to this treatment, whether their disease gets better or worse, and their survival. Safety of this treatment and its side effects also will be assessed.


Eligibility

Min Age: 18 Years

Plain Language Summary

Simplified for easier understanding

This study is testing a combination of two drugs — zanubrutinib (a targeted oral drug) and pemetrexed (a chemotherapy) — for patients with brain lymphoma (primary or secondary CNS lymphoma) that has relapsed or not responded to prior treatment, or who could not tolerate standard high-dose therapy. **You may be eligible if...** - You have confirmed B-cell lymphoma in the brain or eye (primary CNS lymphoma or CNS involvement from another lymphoma) - Your lymphoma has progressed after prior treatment or you could not tolerate it - You are in reasonable functional health and have adequate blood counts and organ function - Your life expectancy is at least 2 months **You may NOT be eligible if...** - You have active lymphoma outside the brain or eye (systemic disease) - You have previously been treated with pemetrexed or a BTK inhibitor (like ibrutinib or acalabrutinib) - You have serious uncontrolled infections, autoimmune conditions, or bleeding disorders - You have had a recent stroke, brain bleed, or blood clot - You are pregnant or breastfeeding - You have had an organ transplant or need ongoing immunosuppression Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.

Interventions

DRUGPemetrexed

Participants will receive 900 mg/m\^2 via IV infusion over 10 minutes every 3 weeks x 4-8 induction cycles (21 days per cycle) as part of the induction therapy.

DRUGZanubrutinib

Participants will receive 320 mg PO daily or dose-adjusted when given concomitantly with CYP3A4 inhibitor on Days 3-19 of each induction cycle x 4-8 cycles (21 days per cycle) as part of the induction therapy. For those on maintenance therapy, participants will receive 320 mg PO daily or dose-adjusted when given concomitantly with CYP3A4 inhibitor on Days 1-28 of each maintenance cycle (28 days per cycle) until the transplant (if applicable) or disease progression.

PROCEDUREAutologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT)

ASCT will occur in participants who are candidates for this procedure according to standard of care institutional protocols

RADIATIONWhole Brain Radiation Therapy (WBRT)

WBRT will occur in participants who are candidates for this procedure but not candidates for ASCT according to standard of care institutional protocols
