Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study investigates a fixed-duration regimen of zanubrutinib, bendamustine, and obinutuzumab (ZBG) in the treatment of treatment-naïve patients with advanced-stage follicular lymphoma.

Patients will receive combination therapy with zanubrutinib, bendamustine, and obinutuzumab over 6 cycles, with each cycle lasting 28 days. The specific dosing schedule is as follows: Bendamustine 70 mg/m²: administered intravenously on Days 2-3 of Cycle 1, and on Days 1-2 of Cycles 2-6. Obinutuzumab 1000 mg: administered intravenously on Days 1, 8, and 15 of Cycle 1, and on Day 1 of Cycles 2-6 (every 28-day cycle). Zanubrutinib 160 mg orally twice daily (bid), continuously throughout Cycles 1-6.

Treatment is discontinued after 6 cycles, with no subsequent maintenance therapy.

Primary endpoint is 2-year PFS. Secondary endpoints include: CR rate after 6 cycles, ORR after 3 and 6 cycles MRD-negative rate after 3 and 6 cycles, OS, safety and tolerability.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Voluntary participation with signed informed consent;
2. Age ≥18 years and ≤75 years, regardless of gender;
3. Life expectancy ≥3 months;
4. ECOG performance status 0-2; patients with ECOG 3 may be enrolled only if their decline in performance status is disease-related and the investigator judges they may benefit from treatment;
5. Histologically confirmed diagnosis of grade I, II, or IIIa follicular lymphoma (FL), treatment-naïve, stage III-IV disease, and meeting treatment criteria (GELF criteria);
6. Measurable and/or evaluable lymphoma lesions;
7. Adequate bone marrow reserve: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \>1.0×10⁹/L or platelets \>75×10⁹/L, unless cytopenia is deemed related to bone marrow infiltration by lymphoma and the investigator believes it may recover;
8. Liver function: AST (SGOT), ALT (SGPT) ≤2.5×ULN (without liver involvement) or ≤5×ULN (with liver involvement); total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ULN; serum creatinine (CRE) ≤1.5×ULN;
9. Creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min (calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula);
10. Ability to comply with study visit schedules and other protocol requirements;
11. All patients of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraception during the study and for 24 months after treatment cessation; women of childbearing potential must have a negative urine pregnancy test before treatment initiation.

Exclusion Criteria

1. Grade IIIb FL or transformed FL;
2. Received lymphoma-directed therapy within 2 weeks prior to enrollment;
3. Any severe medical condition, including but not limited to:

* Poorly controlled hypertension (defined as failure to achieve control despite lifestyle modifications and treatment with at least 3 maximally tolerated antihypertensive drugs \[including diuretics\] for ≥4 weeks, or requiring ≥4 antihypertensive drugs for adequate control);
* Uncontrolled congestive heart failure (NYHA class 3 \[moderate\] or 4 \[severe\]) within 6 months prior to screening;
* Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \<50%;
* Symptomatic coronary artery disease (e.g., chest pain, palpitations, fatigue) or requiring medication;
* Severe bradycardia (heart rate \<40 bpm), hypotension, dizziness, or syncope; patients with arrhythmia history require cardiac evaluation;
* Active bacterial, viral, fungal, or other infections (except for nail fungal infections) or major infections within 2 weeks before the first dose of study drug;
* Moderate to severe liver disease (Child-Pugh B or C);
* Active bleeding within 2 months before screening or clinically significant bleeding tendency per investigator judgment;
* Pulmonary conditions impairing function (e.g., pulmonary fibrosis, drug-induced pneumonitis) deemed intolerable by the investigator;
* Any psychiatric or cognitive impairment that may compromise understanding of informed consent, protocol compliance, or study adherence;
4. Known active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection; other acquired/congenital immunodeficiency disorders, including HIV infection;
5. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement by lymphoma;
6. Diagnosis or treatment for malignancies other than lymphoma, except:

* Malignancies treated with curative intent and no evidence of disease for ≥5 years before enrollment;
* Adequately treated basal cell carcinoma (excluding melanoma) with no evidence of disease;
* Adequately treated cervical carcinoma in situ with no evidence of disease;
7. Hypersensitivity to any study drug;
8. Pregnant or breastfeeding women;
9. History of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within 6 months before enrollment;
10. Requiring anticoagulation with warfarin or equivalent vitamin K antagonists;
11. Requiring chronic use of strong CYP3A inhibitors;
12. Administration of live attenuated vaccines within 4 weeks before study entry.
