What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a combination of lenalidomide and Tafasitamab in patients with brain cancer that has returned after previous treatments. Lenalidomide, a derivative of thalidomide, is known to boost the immune system and directly target cancer cells, potentially improving drug delivery to the brain.

Will I have to stop taking my current medications?

The trial does not specify if you need to stop taking your current medications, but you cannot have received systemic anti-cancer therapies within 2 weeks, radiation within 1 week, or antibody therapy within 4 weeks before starting the trial. It's best to discuss your specific medications with the trial team.

What safety data exists for Tafasitamab and Lenalidomide treatment?

Tafasitamab and Lenalidomide have been studied together for treating certain types of lymphoma, and common side effects include infections, blood disorders, and digestive issues. These side effects were generally manageable, and no new safety concerns were found in long-term studies. Lenalidomide, a related drug, has reduced nerve and blood clot side effects compared to its predecessor, thalidomide.12345

How is the drug combination of Tafasitamab and Lenalidomide unique for treating CNS Lymphoma?

The combination of Tafasitamab and Lenalidomide is unique because Tafasitamab is an anti-CD19 monoclonal antibody that enhances the immune system's ability to target cancer cells, and when combined with Lenalidomide, it has shown long-term clinical benefits and durable responses in similar conditions like diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). This combination is particularly beneficial for patients who are not eligible for stem cell transplants.13467

What data supports the effectiveness of the drug combination Tafasitamab and Lenalidomide for treating CNS Lymphoma?

Tafasitamab combined with Lenalidomide has shown effectiveness in treating relapsed or refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), with studies indicating improved survival outcomes compared to other treatments. In particular, the combination demonstrated a significant overall survival benefit and durable responses in patients who were not eligible for stem cell transplants.13478

Published Research Related to This Trial

In a study comparing tafasitamab+lenalidomide to other treatments for relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), significant overall survival benefits were observed against polatuzumab vedotin+bendamustine+rituximab and rituximab+lenalidomide, indicating tafasitamab+lenalidomide may be a more effective option.
When compared to CAR-T therapies, tafasitamab+lenalidomide showed comparable overall survival outcomes, suggesting it could be a viable alternative for patients who are ineligible for autologous stem cell transplant.

In the final 5-year analysis of the L-MIND study involving 80 patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, the combination of tafasitamab and lenalidomide showed a significant objective response rate of 57.5%, with a complete response rate of 41.3%.
The treatment demonstrated long-term clinical benefits, with a median overall survival of 33.5 months and manageable adverse events, indicating that this immunotherapy combination is both effective and well-tolerated.

In a study comparing tafasitamab combined with lenalidomide to lenalidomide alone in patients with relapsed/refractory diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the combination therapy showed a significantly higher overall response rate of 67.1% compared to 34.2% for lenalidomide monotherapy.
The combination therapy also resulted in a higher complete response rate of 39.5% versus 13.2% for lenalidomide alone, indicating that tafasitamab enhances the efficacy of lenalidomide in treating this type of lymphoma.
