Study summary

Assess the preliminary efficacy and safety of orelabrutinib in combination with the Pola-R-CHP regimen for the treatment of treatment-naive Non-GCB diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

Currently, the R-CHOP regimen can cure approximately 60% of DLBCL patients. The Pola-R-CHP regimen has shown further improvement on this basis. However, from the POLARIX study, it was observed that patients under 60 years old, with an IPI score of 2, and those with large masses did not show further benefits from the Pola regimen. Meanwhile, for patients with poor prognosis such as non-GCB, there is still room for further improvement with the Pola-R-CHP regimen. BTK inhibitors have demonstrated ideal therapeutic effects for the aforementioned patient types, and currently, a large number of patients have been treated with this type of therapy in clinical practice. However, the vast majority have been combined with R-CHOP-like regimens. There are no data reported on the combination of BTK inhibitors with the Pola regimen. Therefore, this study plans to assess the preliminary efficacy and safety of orelabrutinib in combination with the Pola-R-CHP regimen for the treatment of treatment-naive non-GCB diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Enrolled patients will receive six cycles of orelabrutinib in combination with the Pola-R-CHP regimen, with each 21-day period being one cycle. At the end of the six cycles, an interim efficacy evaluation will be conducted. Patients with a response of CR or PR will receive an additional two cycles of orelabrutinib in combination with rituximab and undergo a final efficacy evaluation. Patients with a response of CR/PR after eight cycles of induction therapy will receive maintenance treatment with orelabrutinib for up to two years.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Age 18 to 80 years old.
  2. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) confirmed by tumor tissue pathology, with at least one measurable lesion.
  3. Non-GCB.
  4. No prior anti-tumor treatment.
  5. ECOG score of 0-2.
  6. Life expectancy of ≥6 months.
  7. Voluntary written informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Lymphoma involving the central nervous system or leptomeningeal metastasis.
  2. Transformed lymphoma, that is, transformed from other types of lymphoma, such as follicular lymphoma, marginal zone lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or small B-cell lymphoma.
  3. Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma.
  4. Burkitt lymphoma.
  5. Laboratory values at screening (unless due to lymphoma):

    1. Neutrophils \<1.5×10⁹/L;
    2. Platelets \<75×10⁹/L;
    3. ALT or AST more than 2 times the upper limit of normal, ALP and bilirubin more than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal;
    4. Creatinine level more than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal.
  6. Patients with psychiatric disorders or other known or suspected inability to fully comply with the study protocol.
  7. Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
  8. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, or active hepatitis B or C virus infection (positive result by polymerase chain reaction [PCR]). If the patient tests positive for HbsAg, HBV DNA testing is required. If HBV DNA \<10³ IU/ml, the patient may be enrolled. If the patient tests negative for HbsAg but positive for HBcAb (regardless of HBsAb status), HBV DNA testing is also required. If HBV DNA \<10³ IU/ml, the patient may be enrolled. If the patient tests positive for HCV antibody, HCV RNA is detected by PCR. If positive, the patient meets the exclusion criteria.
  9. Need for continuous treatment with strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors or CYP3A inducers.
  10. Inability to swallow capsules or significant gastrointestinal disorders, such as malabsorption syndrome, bariatric surgery, inflammatory bowel disease, or partial or complete intestinal obstruction.
  11. Other concurrent and uncontrolled medical conditions that the investigator believes will affect the patient's participation in the study.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. 2 years Progression free survival (2Y-PFS)

    PFS is defined as the time from registration to the first occurrence of progression or relapse as assessed by the investigator, or death from any cause. PFS for patients without disease progression, relapse, or death will be censored at the time of the last tumor assessment

    Time frame: up to 2 years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR is defined as the proportion of patients with a response of CR or PR

    Time frame: up to 8 months

  2. Complete Response Rate (CR)

    The rate of patients who achieved complete response after treatment

    Time frame: up to 8 months

  3. overall survival (OS)

    Overall survival is defined as the period from the induction registration to death from any cause. Patients who have not died until the time of the analysis will be censored at their last contact date.

    Time frame: up to 3 years
