Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults aged 18-75 with histologically confirmed primary central nervous system lymphoma who have not received prior treatment.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with a performance status above 3 or those with significant comorbidities may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This phase 2 study evaluates the efficacy and safety of a combination of Orelabrutinib, Rituximab, and Methotrexate as first-line treatment for patients with newly diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma. The study will enroll 28 participants who will receive 6 cycles of induction chemotherapy, followed by maintenance therapy with Orelabrutinib for up to one year. Eligible patients may also undergo autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation if they meet the criteria. The primary goal is to assess the objective response rate, while secondary outcomes include progression-free survival, overall survival, and monitoring of adverse events.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly improve outcomes for patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma.
How similar studies have gone: Other studies have shown promising results with similar combination therapies in treating lymphoma, suggesting potential for success in this approach.

Patient is known to have an uncontrolled active systemic infection. 8. Patient has a life-threatening illness, medical condition, or organ system dysfunction that, in the opinion of the investigator, could compromise the subject's safety or put the study outcomes at undue risk. 9.

History of intracranial hemorrhage or clinically significant stroke within 6 months prior to first day of study treatment 13. History of significant gastrointestinal disease that would limit absorption of oral medications. 14. Warfarin or any other Coumadin-derivative anticoagulant or vitamin K antagonists. Patients must be off warfarin-derivative anticoagulants for at least seven days prior to starting the study drug. Use of low molecular weight heparin and novel oral anticoagulants (eg. rivaroxaban, apixaban) is permitted if required. 15. Concurrent use of a moderate or strong inhibitor or inducer of the P450 isoenzyme CYP3A. Participants must be off P450/CYP3A inhibitors and inducers prior to starting the study drug. 16.
