Study Summary

This trial will study how well ibrutinib works in treating people with untreated high risk smoldering mental cell lymphoma. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with untreated high-risk smoldering mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who have never received treatment, have measurable disease less than or equal to 5 cm, and are in good general health. They must be able to swallow capsules and agree to use effective birth control methods. People with blastoid or pleomorphic MCL variants, bulky tumors over 5 cm, certain heart conditions, severe liver impairment, recent major surgery or live vaccines, bleeding disorders, uncontrolled infections or other serious medical issues cannot join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing the effectiveness of Ibrutinib in participants with untreated high-risk smoldering MCL. Ibrutinib is a medication that may inhibit tumor growth by blocking enzymes needed for cell growth. This phase II study aims to understand how well it works before any traditional treatment starts.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Ibrutinib can cause side effects such as diarrhea, bleeding problems like bruising easily or longer bleeding times, muscle and bone pain, rash or other skin reactions. It might also lead to more serious issues like heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias), infections due to low blood cells counts and hypertension.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

To what extent is the patient population participating in this experiment?

"That is accurate. According to clinicaltrials.gov, recruitment for this medical trial began on June 8th 2020 and was most recently updated November 1st 2022. This study needs 22 volunteers from one location in order to progress forward."

Answered by AI

Is this experiment recruiting participants currently?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov data reveals that this medical study is still recruiting, with 22 individuals being sought from a single medical centre since its June 8th 2020 posting date and November 1st 2022 update."

Answered by AI

What risks or adverse effects are associated with Ibrutinib use?

"Given the lack of efficacy data, our team has assessed Ibrutinib's safety at a 2 on a scale from 1 to 3. This is due to this being an early Phase 2 trial, where only preliminary safety information exists."
