Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
All patients will receive:
Induction phase: (Acalabrutinib + Rituximab 2 cycles every 4 weeks, cycle = 28 days)
Rituximab 375mg/m2 Intravenously D1
Acalabrutinib 100mg orally, twice a day, D1-D28

Followed by:
Chemotherapy phase: R-DHAOx 4 cycles every 21 days

Rituximab 375 mg/m2 Intravenously on day 1
Dexamethasone 40 mg Intravenously or Orally (tablets) on days 1 to 4 (the mode of administration is based on local site practice and availability)
Cytarabine 2000 mg/m2 Intravenously every 12 h on day 2
Oxaliplatin 100 mg/m² Intravenously on day 1.

IF response to R-DHAOx is less than a partial response the patient will be taken off study and treated as per local guidelines. The response will be determined by review of a PET/CT scan taken after the patient has completed 4 cycles of R-DHAOx.

IF response to R-DHAOx is greater than or equal to a partial response proceed to:

Consolidation phase:
BEAM Autologous stem cell transplant

Carmustine 300 mg/m2 Intravenously on day -6
Etoposide 200 mg/m2 Intravenously on days -5 to -2
Cytarabine 200mg/m2 Intravenously TWICE a day on days -5 to -2
Melphalan 140 mg/m2 Intravenously on day -1
Peripheral stem cells injected on day 0 - dose to be determined on day by physician.

Followed by:
Maintenance phase:
All patients with a documented response at end of the chemotherapy phase will continue with 1-year of Acalabrutinib 100mg orally, twice a day continuous, and 2 years of Rituximab 375mg/m2 Intravenously every 3 months for 8 doses

Patients will be given patient diaries to monitor adherence to treatment.

Summary
Brief summary
This purpose of this study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Acalabrutinib and Rituximab followed by R-DHAOx chemo with or without ASCT and maintenance Aacalabrutinib and Rituximab in fit patients with previously untreated mantle cell lymphoma.

Who is it for?

You may be eligible for this study if you are an adult who has been diagnosed with positive mantle cell lymphoma.

Study details

All participants in this study will receive the following:
1. Induction phase: one day of Rituximab in the vein and 28 days Acalabrutinib orally for 2 cycles.
2. Chemotherapy phase: 4 cycles of chemotherapy (21 day cycles)
3. Consolidation phase: including stem cell transplant
4. Maintenance phase: Acalabrutinib orally for one year and Rituximab in the vein every 3 months for 2 years.

During the trial patients will have blood tests performed and undergo up to 5 PET/CT scans to help determined the progress of the treatment.

It is hoped that this research will help determine whether this treatment is safe for patients, and what kinds of side effects/complications may occur with this treatment.
