Brief Summary

This is a phase II study to evaluate efficacy of Acalabrutinib as a maintenance therapy following blood or marrow transplant (BMT) in patients who have been diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma.

Detailed Description

Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is one of approximately 100 different types of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Due to the aggressive and heterogeneous nature of MCL, majority of patients are diagnosed with advanced stage disease that requires immediate, diverse and aggressive courses of therapy to improve the outcome of the disease. The addition of blood or bone marrow transplantation (BMT) to the chemotherapy regimens is a critical factor to prolong duration of response in patients, however, the benefit of combination chemotherapy followed by BMT is often temporary as patients experience disease progression and mortality and this underscores the need for novel therapies as well as additional maintenance therapy strategies to prevent relapse post-BMT.

Acalabrutinib, a selective, irreversible small molecule inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) is approved for the treatment of adult patients with MCL who have received at least 1 prior therapy

This study is a single arm, multi-center, phase 2 study of participants who will receive acalabrutinib as maintenance therapy post-BMT. Participants will undergo a standard of care BMT with conditioning regimen determined by the treating physician per institutional guidelines.The BMT procedure is not considered part of this study. Following completion of the BMT, maintenance therapy with acalabrutinib will begin on Day 100 in 28-day cycles. Participants will self-administer 129 mg acalabrutinib twice daily (BID) until they reach 2 years post-BMT (approximately 22 cycles). Participants will be followed for up to 5 years post-BMT for Progression Free Survival.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

Patients must meet all of the following criteria in order to be included in this research study:

1. Written informed consent, according to local guidelines, signed by the subject or by a legal guardian prior to the performance of any study-related screening procedures.

2. Men and women ≥18 years-of-age at the time of signature of the informed consent form (ICF).

3. A diagnosis of MCL confirmed by one of the following:

• t(11;14) detected by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), conventional cytogenetics, or other molecular evaluation
• expression of cyclin D1 confirmed by immunohistochemistry.

4. Subject must have completed induction chemotherapy and plan to and be eligible to receive their first BMT per standard of care.

5. Availability of an archival paraffin-embedded tumor block for MRD testing.

6. The Investigator anticipates that the subject will meet the appropriate lab requirements listed in Screening #2 by Day 100.

7. Patients who received prior therapy with a BTK inhibitor are eligible to enroll.

1. Adequate organ system function defined as:

• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1,000/mm3.
• Total bilirubin ≤1.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN) (except for previously documented Gilbert's syndrome)
• Platelet count ≥75,000/mm3. Platelet infusions to meet eligibility criteria are not allowed within 3 days of study enrollment.
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤2.5 x ULN
• Calculated creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥30 mL/min as calculated by the CockcroftGault method. Estimated CrCl (glomerular filtration rate [GFR]) = (140-age [years]) x (weight [kg]) x Fa /(72 x serum creatinine [mg/dL]) a where F = 0.85 for females and F = 1 for males

2. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0, 1, or 2.

3. Subjects who did not receive an anti-cancer therapy (including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or investigational therapy) during the time between their transplant and the start of study therapy. Subjects must have recovered (e.g., Grade ≤1 or baseline) from AEs associated with prior cancer therapy. Note: Subjects with Grade ≤2 neuropathy or Grade ≤2 alopecia are an exception to the latter criterion and may qualify for the study.

4. Woman of childbearing potential (WoCBP) who are sexually active with male partners must use highly effective methods of contraception during treatment and for 2 days after the last dose of acalabrutinib. For male subjects with a pregnant or non-pregnant WoCBP partner, no contraception measures are required. A WoCBP must have a negative pregnancy test (urine or serum) at the time of screening and 72 hours before starting the study drug or have evidence of non-childbearing potential by fulfilling one of the following criteria:

• Post-menopausal women, defined as either women aged >50 years and amenorrheic for ≥12 months following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments or women <50 years old who have been amenorrheic for ≥12 months following the cessation of exogenous hormonal treatments, and have serum follicle- stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) levels in the post- menopausal range for the institution.
• Documentation of irreversible surgical sterilization by hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy or bilateral salpingectomy, but not tubal ligation
• Medically confirmed, irreversible premature ovarian failure.

5. Willing and able to participate in all required evaluations and procedures in this study protocol including swallowing capsules without difficulty.

6. Ability to understand the purpose and risks of the study and provide signed and dated informed consent and authorization to use protected health information (PHI).
