ZR-MTX combo for newly diagnosed primary intraocular lymphoma
Official title: A Prospective, Phase II Clinical Trial Using the Combination of Zanubrutinib, Rituximab and High-dose Intravenous Methotrexate With Intravitreal Methotrexate Injection Therapy for the Treatment of Primary Intraocular Lymphoma
Run by Peking Union Medical College Hospital · NCT06973811 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial tests a Rituximab, Zanubrutinib, and methotrexate cocktail plus intravitreal methotrexate in people newly diagnosed with primary intraocular lymphoma to see if it can extend the time before the disease progresses.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults with newly diagnosed primary vitreoretinal (intraocular) lymphoma, ECOG 0-2, adequate kidney and liver function, and ability to consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with active CNS involvement in eyes and brain, uncontrolled infections, significant heart failure, pregnancy, or HIV/HBV/HCV infection may not benefit.

What this trial studies
This is a single-arm phase II study evaluating the ZR-MTX regimen (Rituximab, Zanubrutinib, and methotrexate) with intravitreal methotrexate in newly diagnosed primary intraocular lymphoma. Patients receive induction cycles of ZR therapy, with response guiding additional cycles, followed by limited Zanubrutinib maintenance if needed. Intravitreal methotrexate is administered concurrently, and MRD status influences duration of systemic therapy, with ongoing monitoring through ophthalmologic exams and brain MRI over several years. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival, with safety and eligibility criteria specified for adults with adequate organ function and controlled infections.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, patients may experience longer progression-free periods and potential disease control with a steroid-sparing, targeted treatment approach.
How similar studies have gone: Previous similar approaches in intraocular lymphomas have shown activity with targeted regimens, but this exact combination and MRD-directed maintenance are investigational.
