Rocbrutinib and Lacutoclax in B-cell cancers

Official title: A Phase Ib/II, Open-Label, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, and Preliminary Efficacy of BTK Inhibitor Rocbrutinib in Combination With BCL-2 Inhibitor Lacutoclax in Patients With B-Cell Malignancies

Run by Guangzhou Lupeng Pharmaceutical Company LTD. · NCT07609862 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study tests whether Rocbrutinib plus Lacutoclax can help adults with B-cell malignancies, including CLL/SLL, MCL, DLBCL, FL, WM, who have had prior therapy or are treatment-naïve under specific criteria.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with CLL/SLL or mature B-cell malignancies (MCL, DLBCL, FL, WM) who have progressed after prior therapy or meet treatment-naïve criteria for CLL/SLL, with measurable disease and adequate organ function.

Probably not a fit

Patients without measurable disease progression or who do not tolerate the combination may not benefit.

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 multi-center, open-label, single-arm Phase Ib/II trial combining a fourth-generation BTK inhibitor (Rocbrutinib) with a BCL-2 inhibitor (Lacutoclax) in mature B-cell malignancies. The Phase Ib portion uses a 3+3 dose-escalation design to identify dose-limiting toxicities, determine the maximum tolerated dose, and establish a recommended dosing regimen. The Phase II portion expands to further evaluate safety and preliminary efficacy of the combination. Participants include adults with CLL/SLL or other B-cell cancers who have received prior therapy or meet treatment-naïve criteria for CLL/SLL, with measurable disease and adequate organ function. The trial is conducted at multiple centers with Guangzhou Lupeng Pharmaceutical Company Ltd as the lead sponsor.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience improved disease control from the drug combination with an acceptable safety profile.

How similar studies have gone: BTK inhibitors combined with BCL-2 inhibitors have shown activity in mature B-cell malignancies in other studies, though this specific 4th-generation BTK plus BCL-2 inhibitor combination is investigational.

10. Any severe and/or uncontrolled systemic disease, or any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, makes the patient unsuitable for participation in the study.
11. Any of the following events within 6 months prior to the first dose: Symptomatic arrhythmia, myocardial infarction, intracranial hemorrhage, or Stroke.
12. Impaired cardiac function.
