Study Summary
This trial evaluates a treatment for relapsed/refractory primary central nervous system lymphoma and isolated central nervous system relapse of B cell lymphoma. It assesses how well people respond, side effects, and safety.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with relapsed or refractory primary or secondary central nervous system lymphoma. Participants must have certain types of B cell lymphoma, measurable disease, and adequate organ function. They should not be pregnant, use effective contraception, and have a life expectancy of at least 2 months. Excluded are those with recent other treatments, significant heart issues, active infections requiring treatment within the last week, or known bleeding disorders.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests pemetrexed combined with zanubrutinib (induction therapy), followed by maintenance therapy with zanubrutinib alone in patients whose CNS lymphoma has returned after treatment or didn't respond well to previous therapies. It aims to assess how well patients respond to this regimen and monitor their survival rates as well as any side effects.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to the immune system's response to the drugs causing inflammation in various organs; blood-related issues such as anemia; liver enzyme elevations indicating potential liver damage; fatigue; digestive problems like nausea and vomiting; risk of infection due to lowered immunity.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Induction Therapy + SOC TreatmentExperimental Treatment4 Interventions
Participants will receive the induction therapy (oral zanubrutinib + IV pemetrexed) and be placed into one of the cohorts according to standard of care (SOC) treatment:
Cohort 1: Induction Therapy + Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT) After completion of the induction therapy, ASCT candidates will undergo transplant as per SOC. If the transplant is delayed and 8 induction cycles have been completed, oral zanubrutinib maintenance will proceed until transplant, but will not occur after transplant.
Cohort 2: Induction Therapy + Whole Brain Radiation Therapy (WBRT) After completion of the induction therapy, WBRT candidates will undergo WBRT as per SOC. Oral zanubrutinib maintenance will start 7-10 days after the completion of WBRT. 28-d maintenance cycles will continue until disease progression.
Cohort 3: Induction Therapy Alone After completion of the induction therapy, 28-day oral zanubrutinib maintenance cycles will begin and continue until disease progression

Frequently Asked Questions
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.
Are there any known risks associated with combining Induction Therapy and Standard of Care Treatment?
"There is some evidence of Induction Therapy + SOC Treatment's safety, so it earned a score of 2 on our team's scale. As this remains an exploratory Phase 2 trial, we are yet to find any data confirming its efficacy."
Answered by AI
