Pomalidomide with orelabrutinib and zuberitamab for newly diagnosed mantle cell lymphoma

Official title: A Prospective, Multicenter Clinical Study of Pomalidomide Combined With Orelabrutinib and Zuberitamab in Treatment-Naive Mantle Cell Lymphoma

Run by Peking University Third Hospital · NCT07257510 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether adding pomalidomide to orelabrutinib and zuberitamab helps people with untreated mantle cell lymphoma become minimal residual disease (MRD) negative after six treatment cycles.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults aged 18–80 with newly diagnosed, measurable mantle cell lymphoma and at least one high-risk feature (for example intermediate-high MIPI, Ki-67 ≥30%, blastoid/pleomorphic morphology, TP53 abnormality, large mass, or complex karyotype) with ECOG performance status 0–2 are ideal candidates.

Probably not a fit

Patients who do not achieve MRD negativity after six cycles, or those with inadequate blood counts, significant comorbidities, or outside the 18–80 age range, are unlikely to receive the planned maintenance benefit from this regimen.

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

What this trial studies

This multicenter, interventional trial gives untreated mantle cell lymphoma patients six cycles of a three-drug regimen (pomalidomide, orelabrutinib, and zuberitamab) and measures MRD after those cycles as the primary endpoint. Patients who are MRD negative continue on maintenance therapy with orelabrutinib plus zuberitamab for up to 18 additional cycles, while those who remain MRD positive are directed to alternative therapies. Secondary outcomes include progression-free survival, overall survival, objective response rate, and safety assessments. The design focuses on early MRD clearance as a gateway to prolonged maintenance therapy.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this regimen could increase the number of patients who reach MRD negativity and may prolong remission in high-risk, untreated mantle cell lymphoma.

How similar studies have gone: Related combinations using BTK inhibitors with anti-CD20 antibodies and immunomodulatory drugs have shown promising activity in B-cell lymphomas, but the specific three-drug POZ combination is novel and not yet widely tested.

  1. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤2.5× the upper limit of normal (ULN);
  2. Bilirubin ≤ 2 × ULN (except for those diagnosed with Gilbert's syndrome, which allows up to 5 × ULN)
* Adequate renal function as demonstrated by:

  1. Creatinine clearance ≥60 mL/min (estimated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula or the glomerular filtration rate \[eGFR\] estimated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease \[MDRD\] formula)
  2. Serum creatinine ≤1.5×ULN
* International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 × ULN and Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN

Exclusion Criteria:

* Current central nervous system involvement or suspected patients and those with a history of this condition
* Previously received systemic treatment for MCL, including BTKi.
* Uncontrolled active systemic fungal, bacterial, or viral infections (defined as persistent signs/symptoms related to the infection despite the use of appropriate antibiotics, antiviral therapy, and/or other treatments with no improvement).
* Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, or the following serological status indicating active hepatitis B or C virus infection:

  1. Subjects with positive hepatitis B virus core antibody (HBcAb) and negative surface antigen (HBsAg) must have a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) result prior to the first dose. Subjects with positive HBsAg or HBV-DNA:
  2. Subjects with positive hepatitis C antibodies must have an HCV-RNA negative result before the first dose. Subjects with positive hepatitis C PCR results will not be eligible for this study.
* Clinically severe cardiovascular diseases, including:

  1. Myocardial infarction occurring within the 6 months prior to screening;
  2. Unstable angina occurring within 3 months prior to screening;
  3. Clinically significant arrhythmias (e.g., sustained ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, torsades de pointes ventricular tachycardia);
  4. QTcF (corrected by Fridericia's formula) \> 480 msec;
  5. History of second-degree type II atrioventricular (AV) conduction block or third-degree atrioventricular conduction block;
  6. III or IV congestive heart failure as defined by the New York Heart Association (NYHA)
* History of severe hemorrhagic disorders, such as hemophilia A, hemophilia B, von Willebrand disease, or a history of spontaneous bleeding requiring blood transfusion or other medical interventions.
* History of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) in the past 12 months
* History of significant cerebrovascular disease/events within 6 months prior to the first administration of the investigational drug, including stroke or intracranial hemorrhage.
