Orelabrutinib with lisaftoclax and rituximab for untreated high-risk mantle cell lymphoma

Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter, Open-Label Clinical Study of Orelabrutinib Plus Lisaftoclax and Rituximab in Treatment-Naive, High-Risk Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL)

Run by Ruijin Hospital · NCT07272499 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial will try combining orelabrutinib, lisaftoclax, and rituximab in people with untreated, high-risk mantle cell lymphoma to see if it increases complete remissions and delays progression.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates are people over 14 with untreated, measurable mantle cell lymphoma (Ann Arbor stage II–IV) who have high‑risk features like MIPI 6–11, Ki‑67 >30%, TP53 mutation/loss or blastoid/pleomorphic histology and who meet routine lab and organ function requirements.

Probably not a fit

Patients without high‑risk disease, those who have received prior systemic therapy for MCL, or those with significant organ dysfunction or inadequate blood counts are unlikely to benefit from this protocol.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This is a multicenter, open-label Phase 2 trial testing the combination of a BTK inhibitor (orelabrutinib), a BCL-2 inhibitor (lisaftoclax), and the anti‑CD20 antibody rituximab in patients with untreated mantle cell lymphoma who have high‑risk features. The primary endpoint is the optimal complete response rate during the induction phase, with secondary endpoints including progression‑free survival, overall survival, objective response rate, and safety. Patients must have measurable disease and at least one high‑risk feature such as high MIPI, Ki‑67 >30%, TP53 mutation/loss, or blastoid morphology. Exploratory analyses will correlate tumor biomarkers with treatment response to identify which patients benefit most.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the regimen could raise complete remission rates and prolong progression‑free survival for untreated high‑risk MCL patients.

How similar studies have gone: Previous combinations of BTK inhibitors plus BCL‑2 inhibitors and anti‑CD20 antibodies (for example SYMPATICO and BoVen regimens) have shown promising complete response rates and longer PFS in relapsed/refractory and some treatment‑naïve high‑risk MCL cohorts, supporting this approach.
