Study summary

This is a prospective single-arm phase II study, and the purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficiency of ZR regimen (rituximab \& Zanubrutinib) combined with intravitreal methotrexate and followed by Zanubrutinib maintenance in newly-diagnosed primary intraocular lymphoma. Progression-free survival (PFS) of the cohort is the primary endpoint.

Read the detailed description

All the patients will be treated with ZR regimen (Rituximab 375mg/m2 IV d1, Zanubrutinib 160mg Bid, 21 days per cycle) as induction regimen, meanwhile intravitreal methotrexate was given at a dose of 400ug for 16 doses. The response will be evaluated every 3 cycles. After 3 Cycles, patients who achieved complete remission (CR) or partial remission (PR) will receive 3 more cycles of ZR regimen. The patients with stable disease (SD) or progressed disease (PD) will withdraw from the trial and receive salvage regimens. After total 6 induction cycles, the investigators evaluate the efficiency again, the patients with CR or PR will go to Zanubrutinib maintenance for 2 years or until progression of the disease (PD), unacceptable toxicity, or patient/investigator discretion. And the patients with SD or PD will receive a salvage regimen. During following-up, surveillance ophthalmologic examination, and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans can be performed every 3 months up to the first 2 years, followed by the doctor visit every 6 months up to 5 years or the disease relapses.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Zanubrutinib/rituximab & intravitreal MTX

    Experimental arm will be treated with rituximab plus zanubrutinib (ZR) regimen for 6 cycles and followed by zanubrutinib maintenance for 2 years, meanwhile, intravitreal methotrexate will be given as protocol during the 1st year of treatment.

    Drug: Methotrexate · Drug: Rituximab · Drug: Zanubrutinib

Interventions

  • DrugMethotrexate

    400ug intravitreal injection every week for 4 doses in the induction phase, every 2 weeks for 2 doses as consolidation, then every month for 10 doses

  • DrugRituximab

    Rituximab 375mg/m2 intravenous infusion d1, every 21 days for 1 cycle. 6 cycles will be prescribed as protocol

  • DrugZanubrutinib

    160mg Bid, oral. 21-day cycle for 6 cycles in the induction phase and for 2 years in the maintenance phase

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. 2 years progression-free survival

    2 years progression-free survival was calculated from the date of therapy until death from lymphoma or 2-year follow up without relapsing

    Time frame: from the date of treatment to the subject finished his 2 years follow-up phase or the disease relapsed or the death due to lymphoma

Secondary outcomes

  1. overall response rate (ORR)

    ORR was calculated by the proportion of patients who achieved complete remission and partial remission

    Time frame: 4 weeks after the end of 6 cycles of induction (each cycle is 21 days)
