Sonrotoclax and Zanubrutinib With CAR-T in Mantle Cell Lymphoma

Official title: A Phase II Study of Sonrotoclax Plus Zanubrutinib in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma Planned for Standard of Care CAR-T Cell Therapy

Run by Canadian Cancer Trials Group · NCT07341191 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial tests whether adding two oral drugs, sonrotoclax and zanubrutinib, to standard CAR-T therapy helps people with mantle cell lymphoma who have relapsed or are refractory after prior treatment.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (18+) with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma planned for CAR-T therapy, with measurable disease and adequate health status.

Probably not a fit

Patients without measurable disease progression or those unable to tolerate BTK/BCL-2 inhibitors may not benefit.

What this trial studies

This Phase 2 interventional study evaluates the safety and potential benefit of combining sonrotoclax, a BCL-2 inhibitor, with zanubrutinib, a BTK inhibitor, alongside standard CAR-T cell therapy in relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma. Eligible participants must be planned for CAR-T therapy and meet typical health and disease criteria, including measurable disease and prior lines of therapy. The regimen starts with zanubrutinib, followed by a ramp-up of sonrotoclax plus zanubrutinib during induction, then CAR-T infusion, and maintenance zanubrutinib. Treatment effects will be followed over time, with ongoing post-treatment monitoring until results are fully known.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, the combination could improve response durability and overall outcomes for patients receiving CAR-T therapy in mantle cell lymphoma.

How similar studies have gone: Prior strategy combining targeted agents with cellular therapies has shown potential in similar lymphomas, but this exact combination is investigational in mantle cell lymphoma.

Inclusion Criteria:

* Have histologically confirmed mantle cell lymphoma that is relapsed or refractory after at least one prior line of systemic therapy
* Eligible for and planned to receive Health Canada approved CAR-T.
* Have a formalin fixed paraffin embedded tumour tissue block available and must have provided informed consent for the release of the block.
* Presence of radiologically documented disease.
* Measurable disease (one site bidimensionally measurable).
* Age ≥ 18 years.
* Have an ECOG performance status of 0, 1 or 2
* Anticipated life expectancy of ≥ 6 months
* Adequate hematologic and biochemical parameters
* Must have received prior systemic therapy as shown below;
* At least one line of systemic therapy including a Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase inhibitor (BTKi).
* Participants who have previously received venetoclax, sonrotoclax, or any other BCL2 inhibitor (BCL2i) are eligible as long as progressive disease did not occur within 6 months of the last dose of BCL2i. Participants with progressive disease during BCL2i therapy or within 6 months of last dose are not eligible.
* Participants must enter the study while on a BTKi or enroll to a substudy of the protocol to receive zanubrutinib for a minimum duration prior to enrolling to the main study.
* Participants previously exposed to zanubrutinib are eligible irrespective of response to treatment.
* Participants entering the study while on a BTKi must have their BTKi switched to zanubrutinib supplied through the study.
* Participants must have recovered to ≤ grade 1 from all reversible toxicity related to prior therapies.
* Adequate washout must be followed per protocol.
* Prior high-dose myelosuppresive radiation is permitted ≥28 prior to enrollment.
* Previous major surgery is permitted ≥28 days prior to enrollment. Participants of childbearing potential must have agreed to use a highly effective contraceptive method.

Exclusion Criteria

* • Participants on active anticancer therapy for other advanced or metastatic malignancies.
* Concurrent treatment with other anti-cancer therapy
* Serious illnesses or medical conditions which would not permit the participant to be managed according to the protocol.
* Known hypersensitivity to the study drug(s) or their components.
* Prior CD19-directed CAR-T at any time, autologous hematopoietic cell transplantation within 6 weeks, or allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation within 3 months. Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation recipients must be free of clinically-significant graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and must be off immunosuppression for GvHD for at least 4 weeks before enrollment.
* Untreated and/or uncontrolled cardiovascular conditions and/or symptomatic cardiac dysfunction (including cardiac ventricular arrhythmias requiring medication, history of 2nd or 3rd degree atrioventricular conduction defects) or unstable angina congestive heart failure or myocardial infarction within the previous year.
* Active, uncontrolled bacterial, fungal, or viral infection within 14 days prior to enrollment
* Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
* Inability to discontinue use of moderate or strong CYP3A inducers or inhibitors during the ramp-up treatment period with sonrotoclax.
* Live vaccination within 4 weeks prior to enrollment or who plan to receive a live vaccine during treatment or within 90 days post last dose.
* Inability to swallow capsules or tablets or have any diseases significantly affecting GI function
* Active central nervous system (CNS) disease; Participants with stable CNS disease are eligible.
* Growth factors within 28 days prior to enrollment.
