Summary

This trial tests how well a drug called nemtabrutinib works when given with rituximab for treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma. Nemtabrutinib is a medication that blocks

Who is the study for?

This trial is for patients with mantle cell lymphoma. Participants should have this type of cancer to be eligible. Specific inclusion and exclusion criteria are not listed, but typically these would cover health status, prior treatments, and other medical conditions.

What is being tested?

The trial is testing the effectiveness of combining nemtabrutinib, a kinase inhibitor that blocks proteins linked to B-cell cancers, with rituximab, an antibody that helps the immune system target cancer cells. It's a phase II study which means it's checking how well these drugs work together.

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include reactions related to the immune system attacking normal cells (due to rituximab), issues from blocking BTK protein like bleeding or infections (from nemtabrutinib), and general drug-related effects such as fatigue or allergic reactions.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Treatment (nemtabrutinib and rituximab)Experimental Treatment5 Interventions

INDUCTION: Patients receive nemtabrutinib PO QD on days 1-28 of each cycle and rituximab IV on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of cycle 1 and on day 1 of subsequent cycles. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. MAINTENANCE: Patients receive nemtabrutinib PO QD on days 1-28 of each cycle and rituximab IV on day 1 of event numbered cycles. Cycles repeat every 28 days for up to 24 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients may optionally continue to receive nemtabrutinib PO QD in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo bone marrow biopsy during screening and may undergo throughout the trial and PET-CT scan and blood sample collection throughout the study.
