Summary
This is a single-arm, prospective clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of orelabrutinib combined with rituximab as first-line systemic treatment for marginal zone lymphoma.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria11
- Age ≥ 18 years, regardless of gender;
- Histologically confirmed CD20-positive marginal zone lymphoma, including MALT, SMZL, and NMZL, with at least one lesion outside the spleen measuring more than 1.5 cm in any axis;
- MZL that has progressed or relapsed after prior local therapy (including surgery, radiotherapy, anti-Helicobacter pylori treatment, and anti-hepatitis C treatment), or is not suitable for local therapy;
- ECOG performance status of 0-2;
- Presence of an indication for treatment as judged by the investigator (symptomatic, cytopenia, risk of end-organ damage, bulky disease, ongoing progression, or patient's desire for treatment);
- Adequate function of major organs, as follows:
- Hematology: Absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.5×109/L, platelets ≥ 75×109/L, hemoglobin ≥ 75 g/L; if there is bone marrow involvement, absolute neutrophil count ≥ 1.0×109/L, platelets ≥ 50×109/L, hemoglobin ≥ 50 g/L;
- Biochemistry: Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN), AST or ALT ≤ 2 times ULN; serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 times ULN; serum amylase ≤ ULN;
- Coagulation: International normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 times ULN.
- Life expectancy of ≥ 3 months;
- Voluntary written informed consent obtained before screening for the trial.
Exclusion Criteria23
- Currently or previously having other malignancies, unless there is evidence of no recurrence or metastasis within the past 5 years after curative treatment;
- Lymphoma involvement of the central nervous system or transformation to high-grade lymphoma;
- Non-hematological toxicities from prior anti-cancer treatments not recovered to ≤ Grade 1 (excluding alopecia);
- Presence of uncontrolled or significant cardiovascular disease, including:
- New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class II or higher congestive heart failure, unstable angina, myocardial infarction within 6 months before the first administration of the study drug, or arrhythmias requiring treatment at screening, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 50%;
- Primary cardiomyopathy (such as dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy, restrictive cardiomyopathy, unclassified cardiomyopathy);
- History of clinically significant QTc interval prolongation, or QTc interval \> 470 ms for females, \> 450 ms for males during the screening period;
- Symptomatic or medically treated coronary artery disease;
- Uncontrolled hypertension (defined as blood pressure not reaching target levels despite a reasonable and tolerable full dose of three or more antihypertensive drugs (including diuretics) for more than one month, or requiring four or more antihypertensive drugs to effectively control blood pressure).
- Active bleeding within 2 months before screening, or currently taking anticoagulant drugs, or deemed by the investigator to have a clear tendency to bleed;
- Urine protein ≥ 2+, and 24-hour urine protein quantification ≥ 2 g/24 hours;
- History of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism within the past six months;
- History of organ transplantation or allogeneic bone marrow transplantation;
- Major surgery within 6 weeks before screening or minor surgery within 2 weeks before screening. Major surgery is defined as surgery using general anesthesia, but diagnostic endoscopy is not considered major surgery. Insertion of a vascular access device will be exempt from this exclusion criterion;
- Active infection or uncontrolled HBV (HBsAg positive and/or HBcAb positive with positive HBV DNA titer), HCV Ab positive, HIV/AIDS, or other severe infectious diseases;
- Currently having pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial pneumonia, pneumoconiosis, radiation pneumonitis, drug-related pneumonia, or other conditions that significantly affect pulmonary function;
- Previous treatment with BTK, BCR pathway inhibitors (such as PI3K, Syk), or BCL-2 inhibitors;
- Suitable and preparing for stem cell transplantation;
- Any psychiatric or cognitive impairment that may limit their understanding, execution of the informed consent form, and compliance with the study;
- Subjects with drug abuse or alcoholism;
- Pregnant, breastfeeding women, and fertile subjects unwilling to use contraception;
- Need to continuously take drugs with moderate to severe inhibitory or strong inducing effects on cytochrome P450 CYP3A;
- Any other condition deemed by the investigator as unsuitable for participation in this trial.
Interventions
All participants will receive induction therapy with the orelabrutinib and rituximab regimen. The treatment cycle is 28 days, with a total of 6 cycles. The induction treatment period is as follows: Cycle 1: Rituximab, 375 mg/m², on Day 1. Cycles 2-6:Orelabrutinib, 150 mg, once daily orally, from Day 1 to Day 28. Rituximab, 375 mg/m², on Day 1. Patients who achieve a partial response (PR) or better will enter a 2-year maintenance period with orelabrutinib.
