A Randomized Phase 3 Trial of Continuous vs. Intermittent Maintenance Therapy With Zanubrutinib as Upfront Treatment in Older Patients With Mantle Cell Lymphoma
This phase III trial tests whether continuous or intermittent zanubrutinib after achieving a complete remission (CR) with rituximab works in older adult patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who have not received treatment in the past (previously untreated). Rituximab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Zanubrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. When zanubrutinib is used in MCL, the current standard of care is to continue administering the drug indefinitely until disease progression. This continuous treatment comes with clinical as well as financial toxicity, which could be especially detrimental in older patients. For patients who achieve a CR after initial zanubrutinib plus rituximab therapy, it may be safe and equally effective to stop treatment and restart zanubrutinib upon disease progression rather than continuing indefinitely in previously untreated older adult patients with MCL.

- 13Creatinine clearance \>= 30 mL/ min determined by either: a) Estimation using the Cockcroft-Gault equation or b) Measurement by nuclear medicine scan or 24 hour urine collection
- 14Total bilirubin =\< 1.5 x upper limit of normal (ULN) (unless documented Gilbert's syndrome)
- 15Aspartate transferase (AST) / alanine transaminase (ALT) =\< 3 x ULN
- 16Patients should not be considered candidates for stem cell transplant or must have declined a stem cell transplant strategy
- 17No clinically significant cardiovascular disease including the following
- 18Unstable angina within 3 months before registration
- 19New York Heart Association class III or IV congestive heart failure

Patients with prior hepatitis B virus (HBV) exposure (positive HBV core antibody and/or surface antigen) are eligible if they have no detectable viral load, and are taking appropriate prophylactic antiviral therapy to prevent reactivation. Patients with history of hepatitis C virus (HCV) are eligible if they have an undetectable HCV viral load
- 25Patients with a prior or concurrent malignancy whose natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen are eligible for this trial
- 26No history of severe bleeding disorder such as hemophilia A, hemophilia B, von Willebrand disease, or history of spontaneous bleeding requiring blood transfusion or other medical intervention
- 27No history of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within 6 months prior to registration
- 28No disease significantly affecting gastrointestinal function such as malabsorption syndrome, resection of the stomach or small bowel, bariatric surgery procedures, symptomatic inflammatory bowel disease, or partial or complete bowel obstruction. Patient must be able to swallow pills
- 29Potential trial participants should have recovered from major surgery
- 30No vaccination with a live vaccine within 35 days prior to registration
- 31No hypersensitivity to zanubrutinib or rituximab or any of the other ingredients of the study drugs
- 32Chronic concomitant treatment with strong inhibitors of CYP3A4 is not allowed on this study. Patients on strong CYP3A4 inhibitors must discontinue the drug for 14 days prior to registration on the study.
- 33Chronic concomitant treatment with strong CYP3A4 inducers is not allowed. Patients must discontinue the drug 14 days prior to the start of study treatment
- 34Avoid use of moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors, PGP inhibitors, and moderate CYP3A4 inducers
- 35Archival tissue must be available for submission in all patients for histopathology review, though participation in correlative substudies is optional
