What this trial studies

This multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial evaluates the efficacy and safety of Orelabrutinib in patients with HP-positive gastric MALT lymphoma. Participants will receive a combination of triple therapy for Helicobacter pylori eradication along with Orelabrutinib as a first-line treatment. The study aims to determine how well this treatment works compared to standard approaches. Patients will be monitored for both effectiveness and safety throughout the trial.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 and older with histologically confirmed gastric MALT lymphoma and current Helicobacter pylori infection.

Not a fit: Patients who are negative for Helicobacter pylori or have a history of other tumors may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new effective option for patients suffering from HP-positive gastric MALT lymphoma.

How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on MALT lymphoma treatments, the specific use of Orelabrutinib in this context is a novel approach.
