Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) with untreated mantle cell lymphoma, measurable disease, adequate organ function, and good performance status.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with intolerable toxicity, rapid disease progression, or contraindications to any study drugs may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This phase 2 study evaluates a chemotherapy-free, triplet regimen for treatment-naïve mantle cell lymphoma using orelabrutinib (BTK inhibitor), obinutuzumab (anti-CD20), and a short course of venetoclax (BCL-2 inhibitor). It aims to determine safety and preliminary efficacy in adult patients who have not received prior systemic therapy. The design builds on prior work suggesting possible deep responses with triplet regimens while seeking to reduce hematologic toxicity and treatment discontinuation. Eligibility requires confirmed MCL, measurable disease, adequate organ function, and performance status in a defined range. Primary endpoints typically include safety and response rate, with secondary measures for duration of response and progression-free survival.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients could experience meaningful disease control with a potentially less toxic induction approach.
How similar studies have gone: Earlier studies of similar triplet regimens showed promising responses but raised safety concerns, making this investigation important to confirm feasibility.

Inclusion Criteria:
1. Voluntarily participate and sign the informed consent form;
2. Age ≥ 18 years, male or female;
3. Life expectancy ≥ 3 months;
4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2. Patients with ECOG 3 may be enrolled only if the decline in performance status is attributed to the underlying disease and the investigator determines that they may benefit from the treatment;
5. Pathologically confirmed diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) and treatment-naïve;
6. Presence of measurable and/or evaluable lymphoma lesions;
7. Adequate bone marrow reserve, defined as: absolute neutrophil count \> 1.0×10⁹/L or platelet count \> 75×10⁹/L, unless cytopenias are considered to be related to bone marrow involvement by lymphoma and deemed recoverable by the investigator;
8. Hepatic function: AST (SGOT) and ALT (SGPT) ≤ 2.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN) (in the absence of liver involvement) or ≤ 5 × ULN (in the presence of liver involvement); total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ ULN; serum creatinine (CRE) ≤ 1.5 × ULN;
9. Creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min, calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula;
10. Able to comply with the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements;
11. All patients of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraceptive measures during the study and for 24 months after study treatment discontinuation. Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test prior to the first dose of study treatment.
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Received prior treatment for lymphoma within 2 weeks before study enrollment;
2. Any serious medical condition, including but not limited to:
* Uncontrolled hypertension (defined as blood pressure that remains uncontrolled after at least 4 weeks of treatment with a reasonable and tolerable regimen of 3 or more antihypertensive agents \[including diuretics\] at adequate doses, or requiring 4 or more antihypertensive agents to achieve adequate control);
* Uncontrolled congestive heart failure within 6 months prior to screening (New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] Class III \[moderate\] or Class IV \[severe\] cardiac disease);
* Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \< 50%;
* Symptomatic coronary artery disease (e.g., chest tightness, chest pain, palpitations, fatigue) or coronary artery disease requiring medical therapy; ⑤Severe bradycardia (heart rate \< 40 beats per minute \[bpm\]) with hypotension, dizziness, or syncope; patients with a history of arrhythmia should undergo cardiac evaluation;
* Known active bacterial, viral, fungal, or other infection (excluding fungal infection of the nail bed), or major infection within 2 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug;
* Moderate to severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B or C); ⑧Active bleeding within 2 months prior to screening, or clear evidence of bleeding diathesis as judged by the investigator; ⑨Current pulmonary disease that impairs lung function, such as pulmonary fibrosis or drug-related pneumonitis, which is deemed intolerable by the investigator; ⑩Any psychiatric or cognitive disorder that may limit the patient's ability to understand, execute, or comply with the informed consent and study requirements;
3. Known active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection; or other acquired or congenital immunodeficiency disorders, including but not limited to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection;
4. All patients with central nervous system (CNS) involvement by lymphoma;
5. Diagnosis of or receiving treatment for another malignancy other than lymphoma, except for the following:
①Malignancy that has been treated with curative intent and with no known active disease for ≥ 5 years prior to enrollment;
②Adequately treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin (excluding melanoma) with no evidence of disease;
③Adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix with no evidence of disease;
6. Known hypersensitivity to any study drug;
7. Pregnant or breastfeeding women;
8. History of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within 6 months prior to enrollment;
9. Requirement for anticoagulation therapy with warfarin or equivalent vitamin K antagonists;
10. Requirement for long-term treatment with strong cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) inhibitors;
11. Receipt of live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to enrollment.
