About this study
Official title: A Prospective Clinical Study of a New Generation of BTK Inhibitors Combined With PD-1 and Formustine in the First-line Treatment of Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma
To observe the efficacy and safety of a new generation of BTK inhibitor Orelabrutinib combined with PD-1 and fotemustine in the treatment of patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL).
Read the detailed description
This study includes a dose escalation phase and an extended treatment phase . The dose-escalation phase: Primary study endpoint: Safety endpoint: including dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), adverse events, ECOG performance score, laboratory tests, vital signs, physical examination .
Secondary research endpoints: effectiveness endpoints: including complete response rate (CRR), objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), and overall survival (OS).
The study adopts the "3+3" design, that is, 3-6 subjects in each group complete the administration, and the dose group determined as the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is included in the group of 6 subjects, totaling 9-18 example. The dose planned to be explored is the daily oral dose of the BTK inhibitor abutinib, which is 100 mg, 150 mg and 200 mg, respectively. The doses of other drugs in the plan will not be escalated.
After the last subject in each dose group completes the 28-day restricted toxicity (DLT) assessment window after the administration, the investigator can start the entry into the next dose group after evaluating and agreeing to enter the next dose group based on clinical safety data.DLT was defined as any grade 3 or higher nonhematologic toxicity, any grade 4 hematologic toxicity, grade 3 febrile neutropenia, and grade 3 thrombocytopenia with significant bleeding.
When 1 case of DLT occurs among 3 subjects in a certain dose group, 3 subjects need to be added to the same dose group (6 subjects in this dose group complete the DLT assessment): If the additional 3 subjects are tested If there is no DLT, continue the dose escalation; if 1 of the 3 increased subjects has DLT, stop the dose escalation; if the increased 3 subjects have >1 of the subjects DLT, the dose escalation is stopped, and the dose needs to be lowered to continue to enroll 3 subjects for DLT evaluation. If DLT occurs in 2 of the 3 or 6 subjects in the dose group, then the previous low dose is defined as the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).
The extended treatment phase :
Primary study endpoints: objective response rate (ORR), disease control rate (DCR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS) .
Secondary endpoints: time to disease progression (TTP), median survival (MST), adverse reactions (ADR), quality of life (QOL) .
The study adopts an open, one-arm, prospective clinical collaborative study . The initial treatment is BTK inhibitor (Obutinib), PD-1 monoclonal antibody combined with formustine :Orelabrutinib continues to be taken orally until the tumor is relieved for 3 months; PD-1 monoclonal antibody is used by intravenous drip, 21 days as a treatment cycle, and a total of 1 year of observation; formustine is used by intravenous drip for 21 days It is a treatment cycle, a total of 6 cycles of observation; after 2 cycles, the efficacy is evaluated, and adverse reactions are recorded. At the same time, MTX 12mg+Ara-C 50mg+Dex 5mg was injected into the CSF cytology-positive sheath, and intrathecal injection once per treatment cycle, a total of 6 times.
Second stage treatment :The efficacy was evaluated after 6 cycles of treatment in the initial stage. The CR patients continued to take orally abutinib (150mg, qd) for three months, and the PD-1 monoclonal antibody was used for maintenance treatment for up to 1 year; the PR patients received whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT), and at the same time Continue oral obritinib (150mg, qd) for three months and PD-1 monoclonal antibody maintenance treatment for up to one year; SD and PD patients choose methotrexate + pemetrexed combined chemotherapy for 4 cycles followed by whole brain radiotherapy (WBRT). WBRT: Regardless of age, supplementary WBRT 30-36Gy + partial reduction field irradiation up to 45Gy.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing the dose-escalation phase in people with Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma, run by Mingzhi Zhang at 1 site in China.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Mingzhi zhang, Pro.Dr. (13838565629, Mingzhi_zhang@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
DLT (time frame: up to 24 months). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04831658, which also lists 1 linked publication.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Jun 2022.
