Who can take part

AI summary

From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The trial is looking for adults with mantle cell lymphoma that came back or did not respond after earlier treatment. It compares sonrotoclax plus zanubrutinib with placebo plus zanubrutinib.

Age
18 years or older
Sex
All sexes can join.
Disease stage
Mantle cell lymphoma that came back or did not respond after the last treatment. At least 1 lesion that can be measured (a node larger than 1.5 cm (0.6 in) or another lesion larger than 1 cm (0.4 in)). ECOG performance status of 0 to 2.
Earlier treatment
Must have had 1 to 5 earlier lines of treatment, including an anti-CD20 antibody-based treatment. Cannot have had earlier BCL2 inhibitor or BTK degrader therapy. Earlier BTK inhibitor therapy is not allowed, unless the person could not tolerate a BTK inhibitor other than zanubrutinib.

Main reasons for not taking part

  • Earlier BCL2 inhibitor or BTK degrader therapy
  • Earlier BTK inhibitor therapy, except intolerance to one other than zanubrutinib
  • Autologous stem cell transplant or CAR T-cell therapy within 3 months before the first dose
  • Allogeneic stem cell transplant within 6 months before the first dose
  • Known lymphoma in the central nervous system

Who can take part

  • Histologically locally confirmed diagnosis of MCL based on the World Health Organization 2022 classification of Haematolymphoid Tumors (WHO-HAEM5), or based on International Consensus Classification (ICC)
  • Ability to provide archival or fresh tumor tissue for retrospective central confirmation of MCL diagnosis
  • Received 1 to 5 prior lines of systemic therapy including an anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb)-based immunotherapy or chemoimmunotherapy and requiring treatment in the opinion of the investigator
  • Relapsed or refractory disease after the last line of therapy
  • Measurable disease defined as ≥ 1 nodal lesion that is > 1.5 cm in longest diameter, or ≥ 1 extranodal lesion that is > 1 cm in longest diameter
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status of 0 to 2
  • Adequate organ function

Who cannot take part

  • Prior therapy with B-cell lymphoma-2 inhibitor (BCL2i)
  • Prior therapy with BTK degraders
  • Prior therapy with covalent or non-covalent Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) unless the participant was intolerant of non-zanubrutinib covalent or non-covalent BTKi. Participants with refractory disease to BTKi therapy or relapse attributed to failure of BTKi therapy are ineligible
  • Prior autologous stem cell transplantation or chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy within 3 months before first dose of study drug
  • Prior allogeneic stem cell transplant within 6 months of the first dose of the study drug
  • History of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within 6 months before first dose of study drug; Note: Other protocol defined Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply
  • Clinically significant cardiovascular disease
  • Known central nervous system involvement by lymphoma

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

The goal of this study is to compare how well sonrotoclax plus zanubrutinib works versus zanubrutinib plus placebo in treating adults with relapsed/refractory (R/R) mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). This study will also look at the safety of sonrotoclax plus zanubrutinib versus zanubrutinib plus placebo.

The 2 groups in the trial

  • Arm A: sonrotoclax plus zanubrutinibTreatment being tested

    Sonrotoclax and zanubrutinib will be administered in combination.

    Treatment: Sonrotoclax and Zanubrutinib

  • Arm B: placebo plus zanubrutinibPlacebo, for comparison

    Placebo and zanubrutinib will be administered in combination.

    Treatment: Zanubrutinib and Placebo
