What this trial studies

This multi-center, prospective cohort study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Orelabrutinib combined with Zuberitamab in patients with untreated Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL). Participants will receive 6 cycles of the ZO regimen induction therapy, followed by the combination treatment for an additional 6 cycles or until disease progression or intolerable toxicity occurs. The primary efficacy indicator is the complete response rate at the end of the combination therapy. This study seeks to explore more effective and low-toxicity treatment options for MZL patients.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults aged 18 and older with confirmed CD20-positive Marginal Zone Lymphoma who have not received prior systemic treatment.

Not a fit: Patients with early-stage MZL who have not experienced recurrence or progression after local treatment may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a more effective and less toxic option for patients with Marginal Zone Lymphoma.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promising results with BTK inhibitors in MZL, indicating that this approach may be effective.
