Study summary

The proposed study is a prospective, single-center and open-ended study in patients over the age of 70 with treatment-naive diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This study intends to explore a new treatment pattern using Pro-miniCHOP-like regimen and simultaneously evaluate its safety and efficacy for future clinical practice.

Read the detailed description

The study will start with an initial 21-days of induction therapy with combination of orelabrutinib, pomalidomide and rituximab(Pro regimen) in eligible patients, following contrast computed temography(CT) to guide the next treatment. Patients whose lesions have 25% or more reduction will next receive Pro-miniCHOP-like regimen for 6 cycles. Patients with reduction less than 25% will receive R-miniCHOP-like regimen also for 6 cycles. After that, maintenance therapy with pomalidomide for two years will be given to patients undergoing Pro-miniCHOP-like regimen.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    rituximab(100mg), orelabrutinib(50mg), pomalidomide(4mg), miniCHOP-like

    1. Phase I(induction therapy): Patients receive Rituximab on day 1, Pomalidomide on days 1-7 and oral administration of Orelabrutinib per day. 2. Phase II(stratified response therapy): Part A: (25% or more reduction): Patients receive Pro-miniCHOP-like regimen every 21 days for 6 cycles.(Rituximab on day 1, Pomalidomide on days 1-7, Orelabrutinib per day till progression or intolerant toxicity, Cyclophosphamide on day 2, Doxorubicin/Doxorubicin Liposome on day 2, Vindesine on day 2 and Dexamethasone on days 2-6). Part B: (reduction less than 25%): Patients receive R-miniCHOP-like regimen every 21 days for 6 cycles.(Rituximab on day 1, Cyclophosphamide on day 2, Doxorubicin/Doxorubicin Liposome on day 2, Vindesine on day 2 and Dexamethasone on days 2-6). 3. Phase III(maintenance and follow-up): Patients take Pomalidomide orally on days 1-7 in a cycle of 21 days for 2 years.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall Response Rate(ORR) after Pro-miniCHOP-like regimen

    The rate of patients who achieved complete response and partial response after Pro-miniCHOP-like regimen.

  2. Complete Response Rate(CRR) after Pro-miniCHOP-like regimen

    The rate of patients who achieved complete response after Pro-miniCHOP-like regimen.

    Time frame: At the end of cycle 6 (each cycle is 21 days)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events, treatment-related adverse events and serious adverse events

    The safety and tolerability of the therapeutic regimen measured by the incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events, Treatment-Related Adverse Events and Serious Adverse Events.

    Time frame: Initiation of study drug until 28 days after last dose

  2. Overall Response Rate(ORR) after Pro induction regimen

    The rate of patients who achieved complete response and partial response after Pro induction regimen.

    Time frame: At the end of a cycle 1 of induction therapy period (each cycle is 21 days)

  3. Complete Response Rate(CRR) after Pro induction regimen

    The rate of patients who achieved complete response after Pro induction regimen.

    Time frame: At the end of a cycle 1 of induction therapy period (each cycle is 21 days)

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    OS will be assessed from the first drug given to date of death or end of follow-up.

    Time frame: Up to 2 years after the end of last patient's treatment

  5. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS will be assessed from the first drug given to date of progression, relapse, death or end of follow-up.

    Time frame: Up to 2 years after the end of last patient's treatment
