Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Overall response rate
To determine the efficacy of acalabrutinib in combination with rituximab in terms of disease response.
24 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Progression free survival
From the date of first dose of acalabrutinib until the date of progression or death. Assessed up to 42 months.
Overall survival
From the date of first dose of acalabrutinib until the date of death. Assessed up to 42 months.
Quality of life up to 24 months
At baseline, week 12, week 24, month 12 and month 24
Incidence and frequency of grade 1-2 and 3+ adverse events seen in both treatment arms.
Between the start of study treatment and 30 calendar days post last IMP administration.
Study Arms (1)
Acalabrutinib and rituximab
EXPERIMENTALPatients with untreated mantle cell lymphoma will receive acalabrutinib and rituximab for up to six cycles. Each cycle will comprise of acalabrutinib 100mg twice daily orally for 28 days and rituximab 375mg/m2 IV on day 1 (+/1 3 days) of every cycle.
Interventions
Patients will receive acalabrutinib 100mg twice daily for up to six 28 day cycles. Patients can receive 100mg once daily for cycle 1, day 1 to day 7, according to the investigator's discretion.
Patient will receive rituximab 375 mg/m2 IV on day 1 (+/- 3 days) of each cycle, for a maximum of 6 cycles
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Men and women ≥ 60 years of age.
- Pathologically confirmed MCL, with documentation of monoclonal B cells that have a chromosome translocation t(11;14)(q13;q32) and/or overexpress cyclin D1.
- Stage II-IV MCL and requiring treatment in the opinion of the treating clinician.
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-3
- One or more of the following:
- Age 80 years or more
- Cumulative Illness Rating Scale for Geriatrics (CIRS-G) score 6 or greater
- Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than or equal to 50% as assessed by echocardiogram
- Significant co-morbidities or cardiac risk factors making anthracycline-containing chemotherapy inadvisable
- Heart failure clinically determined by the presence of New York Heart Association (NYHA) failure grade II due to a cause other than MCL
- Impaired respiratory function with DLCO and/or FVC/FEV1 ratio less than 75% of predicted due to a cause other than MCL
- Significant respiratory illness e.g. moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) bronchiectasis
- Other co-morbidities that in the Investigator's opinion which would preclude the use of standard full dose immuno-chemotherapy (to be discussed on a case-by-case basis with the TMG, via UCL CTC)
- Willing and able to participate in all required evaluations and procedures in this study protocol including swallowing capsules/tablets without difficulty.
- Negative serum or urine pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential (WOCBP).
- +2 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- Any prior therapy (including targeted inhibitors) for MCL (other than prior localised radiotherapy, a 10-day pulse of high dose steroids or continuous prednisolone above 20mg od or equivalent for symptom control).
- Patients considered by the investigator fit enough to receive standard, full dose cytotoxic immunochemotherapy as treatment for non-transplant eligible MCL e.g., full dose R-CHOP, VR-CAP, R-Bendamustine, R-FC.
- Prior malignancy (or any other malignancy requiring active treatment), except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, localised prostate cancer or other cancer from which the subject has been disease free for ≥ 2 years or which will not limit survival to \< 5 years.
- Clinically significant cardiovascular disease such as uncontrolled arrhythmias, or myocardial infarction within 6 months of screening, or any Class 3 or 4 cardiac disease as defined by the New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Classification (33), or corrected QT interval (QTc) \> 480 msec at screening.
- Malabsorption syndrome, disease significantly affecting gastrointestinal function, or resection of the stomach or small bowel that is likely to affect absorption, symptomatic inflammatory bowel disease, partial or complete bowel obstruction, or gastric restrictions and bariatric surgery, such as gastric bypass.
- Known history of infection with HIV or any uncontrolled active systemic infection (e.g., bacterial, viral or fungal).
- Known history of drug-specific hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis to any study drug (including active product or excipient components).
- Active bleeding or history of bleeding diathesis (e.g. haemophilia or von Willebrand disease).
- Uncontrolled AIHA (autoimmune haemolytic anaemia) or ITP (idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura).
- Known presence of a gastrointestinal ulcer diagnosed by endoscopy within 3 months before screening.
- Requires treatment with a strong cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitor/inducer.
- Requires or receiving anticoagulation with warfarin or equivalent vitamin K antagonists (e.g. phenprocoumon) within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug.
- Prothrombin time (PT)/INR or aPTT (in the absence of lupus anticoagulant) \> 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN).
- Requires treatment with proton pump inhibitors (e.g. omeprazole, esomeprazole, lansoprazole, rabeprazole, or pantoprazole). Subjects receiving proton pump inhibitors who switch to H2-receptor antagonists or antacids are eligible for enrolment to this study.
- History of significant cerebrovascular disease/event, including stroke or intracranial haemorrhage, within 6 months before the first dose of study drug.
