Brief Summary

PCNSL is a rare and aggressive subtype of B lymphoma that has been recognized as a distinct disease entity in the latest edition of the WHO Classification of Tumors of Haematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissue and is defined as DLBCL that develops exclusively in the brain parenchyma, spinal cord, leptomeninges and eye. In patients under 70 years of age without severe comorbidities, first-line treatment with induction chemo-immunotherapy according to the MATRix scheme (Methotrexate, Cytarabine, Tiothepa, Rituximab) and subsequent consolidation with HDCT followed by ASCT achieved the best results in terms of PFS and OS. Data on patients enrolled in a randomized phase 2 study showed an OS of 70% at a median FU of 88 months. In patients\> 70 years of age or with low KPS, the prognosis remains significantly lower in the younger population. Several population studies have shown a stable increase over the past 30 years in terms of PFS and OS in patients aged under 70 years, while in patients over 70 years or with KPS \<70%, the survival curves are not satisfactory. in part because these patients are often referred to BSC alone, despite the benefit in PFS and OS demonstrated with HD-MTX-based treatments (≥1 g / m2) combined with oral alkylating agents or cytarabine in high doses.

You may qualify if:

  • Histological or cytological diagnosis of DLBCL
  • Disease localized exclusively in the CNS (brain, meninges, cranial nerves, eyes and / or spinal cord) both at first diagnosis and at failure
  • Progressive or recurrent disease
  • Previous treatment with high-dose methotrexate-based chemotherapy ± WBRT
  • Age 18 - 80 years
  • ECOG performance status 0-3
  • Adequate hematopoiesis (platelets\> 25,000 / mm3, hemoglobin\> 8 g / dL, ANC\> 1,000 / mm3), renal (serum creatinine \<2 times UNL and creatinine clearance ≥40 mL / min), cardiac (VEF ≥50% ) and liver function (SGOT / SGPT \<3 times UNL, bilirubin and alkaline phosphatase \<2 times UNL).
  • Patients who have been given treatment with ibrutinib, alone or in combination with immunochemotherapy, and who have or have not received the same.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with concomitant extra-CNS disease at presentation or relapse
  • Symptomatic coronary heart disease, cardiac arrhythmias not well controlled with drugs, or myocardial infarction within the past 6 months (New York Heart Association class III or IV heart disease)
  • Any other serious medical condition that could compromise the patient's ability to adhere to treatment.
  • Presence of any psychological, family, sociological or geographical condition that may hinder compliance with the study protocol and the follow-up program.
  • In therapy with strong CYP3A inhibitors
