Brief Summary

It is a single arm, multicenter, phase 2 study to explore the efficacy and safety study of OR-MTX chemotherapy（Orelabrutinib, Rituximab and Methotrexate）as first-line regimens in the treatment of newly diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma. Objective response rate is the primary endpoint.

Detailed Description

This is a single arm, multicenter, phase 2 study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Orelabrutinib, rituximab and methotrexate as first-line regimens in the treatment of newly primary central nervous system lymphoma. A total of 28 patients plan to participate in this study to receive a total 6 cycles of induction chemotherapy followed by Orelabrutinib maintenance chemotherapy up to one year. After 6 cycles of induction chemotherapy, autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AHSCT) will be performed for transplantation eligible patients . Follow-ups should be taken up to the first 2 years. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR) and secondary endpoint includes Progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events.

Study Groups

OR-MTX

Experimental arm will be treated with OR-MTX regimen(Orelabrutinib plus Rituximab and Methotrexate) for 6 cycles as initiate induction. After 6 cycles of induction chemotherapy, autologous Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AHSCT) will be performed for transplantation eligible patients . Thereafter, Orelabrutinib maintenance chemotherapy will be given up to one year. Follow-ups should be taken up to the first 2 years. The primary endpoint is objective response rate (ORR) and secondary endpoint includes Progression free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and adverse events.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

Orelabrutinib

Intervention Type: DRUG

Orelabrutinib will be given as 150 mg/d orally 72h after MTX infusion or MTX clearance, every 21 days for 6 cycles during induction treatment.

Daily Orelabrutinb will be administered as maintenance treatment for up to 1 year or until disease progression, intolerable toxicity, death, informed consent withdrawal or lost of follow up (whichever occurs first).

Rituximab

Intervention Type: DRUG

375mg/m2 intravenous infusion d1, every 3 weeks for 1 cycle, 6 cycles will be prescribed for induction therapy.

Methotrexate

Intervention Type: DRUG

3.5g/m2 intravenous infusion for 4 hours in d1, every 21 days for 1 cycle, 6 cycles will be prescribed.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Patient with systemic, non-CNS lymphoma metastatic to the CNS.
