Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
48 patients will be recruited from 12 UK centres over 30 months.
Patients will receive acalabrutinib and rituximab for up to six cycles. The cycle length is 28 days. Specifically, patients will receive acalabrutinib, orally, at a dose of 100 mg twice daily for 28 days and rituximab 375 mg/m2 intravenously on day 1 (+/-3) of each cycle.\* Patients with any degree of response at the Week 12 (end of cycle 3) and Week 24 assessments (end of cycle 6) will continue with acalabrutinib monotherapy at a dose of 100 mg twice daily until disease progression, the development of unacceptable toxicity or any other reason (whichever occurs sooner).
\* Note: Acalabrutinib may be administered at a dose of 100 mg od po for cycle 1 day 1-7 at the local investigator's discretion. The dose should be escalated to full dose (100 mg bd) by day 8, cycle 1 if no toxicity is seen (see dose modification section). If a patient experiences toxicity during cycle 1 day 1-7 100 mg od po, the case must be discussed with the TMG to decide if acalabrutinib should continue. The CTC CARAMEL team should be contacted as soon as possible to arrange discussions with the TMG. Rituximab may be administered subcutaneously at a flat dose of 1400 mg from cycle 2 onwards following an intravenous dose of 375 mg/m2 in cycle 1. Consider splitting the first dose of rituximab at cycle 1 in the minority of MCL patients presenting with a white cell count of \>25 x 109/L. Consider splitting 25-50 mg/m2 on D1 and 325-350 mg/m2 on D2 of cycle 1 (to a total of 375 mg/m2 over D1/D2) according to investigator and site preference. Full dose 375 mg/m2 IV (or s/c equivalent) should be given in all patients from cycle 2 as a single dose.
All patients will be followed up for a minimum of 2 years following being registered into the trial. For patients that have been in follow-up for more than 2 years, annual survival and disease status follow-up will continue until the end of the trial.

Study Groups

Acalabrutinib and rituximab
Patients with untreated mantle cell lymphoma will receive acalabrutinib and rituximab for up to six cycles. Each cycle will comprise of acalabrutinib 100mg twice daily orally for 28 days and rituximab 375mg/m2 IV on day 1 (+/1 3 days) of every cycle.
Acalabrutinib
Patients will receive acalabrutinib 100mg twice daily for up to six 28 day cycles. Patients can receive 100mg once daily for cycle 1, day 1 to day 7, according to the investigator's discretion.
Rituximab
Patient will receive rituximab 375 mg/m2 IV on day 1 (+/- 3 days) of each cycle, for a maximum of 6 cycles

Eligibility Criteria
Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.
Inclusion Criteria
2. Pathologically confirmed MCL, with documentation of monoclonal B cells that have a chromosome translocation t(11;14)(q13;q32) and/or overexpress cyclin D1.
3. Stage II-IV MCL and requiring treatment in the opinion of the treating clinician.
4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-3
5. One or more of the following:
* Age 80 years or more
* Cumulative Illness Rating Scale for Geriatrics (CIRS-G) score 6 or greater
* Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than or equal to 50% as assessed by echocardiogram
* Significant co-morbidities or cardiac risk factors making anthracycline-containing chemotherapy inadvisable
* Heart failure clinically determined by the presence of New York Heart Association (NYHA) failure grade II due to a cause other than MCL
* Impaired respiratory function with DLCO and/or FVC/FEV1 ratio less than 75% of predicted due to a cause other than MCL
* Significant respiratory illness e.g. moderate chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) bronchiectasis
* Other co-morbidities that in the Investigator's opinion which would preclude the use of standard full dose immuno-chemotherapy (to be discussed on a case-by-case basis with the TMG, via UCL CTC)
6. Willing and able to participate in all required evaluations and procedures in this study protocol including swallowing capsules/tablets without difficulty.
7. Negative serum or urine pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential (WOCBP).
8. Willing to comply with the contraceptive requirements of the trial.
9. Written informed consent.
Exclusion Criteria
2. Patients considered by the investigator fit enough to receive standard, full dose cytotoxic immunochemotherapy as treatment for non-transplant eligible MCL e.g., full dose R-CHOP, VR-CAP, R-Bendamustine, R-FC.
3. Prior malignancy (or any other malignancy requiring active treatment), except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, in situ cervical cancer, localised prostate cancer or other cancer from which the subject has been disease free for ≥ 2 years or which will not limit survival to \< 5 years.
