Acalabrutinib Maintenance for the Treatment of Patients With Large B-cell Lymphoma

Prior treatment

• Concurrent long-term use of posaconazole or other strong CYP3A4 inhibitors and unable to replace with equivalent medication
• Received packed red blood cells (pRBC) transfusion within the past 2 weeks
• Received any investigational drug within 30 days or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) before first dose of study drug
• Major surgical procedure within 30 days before the first dose of study drug. Note: If a subject had major surgery, they must have recovered adequately from any toxicity and/or complications from the intervention before the first dose of study drug
• Refractory nausea and vomiting, inability to swallow the formulated product, or malabsorption syndrome; chronic gastrointestinal disease, gastric restrictions, or bariatric surgery such as gastric bypass; partial or complete bowel obstruction, or previous significant bowel resection that would preclude adequate absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion of study treatment
• Received a live virus vaccination within 28 days of first dose of study drug
• Requires or receiving anticoagulation with warfarin or equivalent vitamin K antagonists
• Requires treatment with a strong cytochrome P450 3A (CYP3A) inhibitor or inducer. The use of strong CYP3A inhibitors within 1 week or strong CYP3A inducers within 3 weeks of the first dose of study drug is prohibited
• Concurrent participation in another therapeutic clinical trial

Other illness

• New York Heart Association Class III or IV
• Acute or chronic graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) \>= stage 3 at time of enrollment
• Active invasive fungal infection
• Active bacterial or viral infection until resolution of the infection

• Known history of infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
• History of bleeding diathesis (e.g., hemophilia, von Willebrand disease)

Lab values
