IGNITE: Study of Tirabrutinib vs Rituximab/Temozolomide for Relapsed/Refractory Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL)
Trial Status: active
The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate efficacy and safety of tirabrutinib
alone compared with rituximab and temozolomide (R-TMZ) combination therapy in
participants with Relapsed/Refractory Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL).
Inclusion Criteria
Pathology report confirming the diagnosis of B-cell PCNSL
Relapsed or refractory B-cell PCNSL with at least 1 prior high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) based therapy for PCNSL:
Relapsed disease: Participants who achieved a response (CR, CRu, PR) to the last treatment and subsequently experienced disease progression.
Refractory disease: Participants whose best response to the last treatment was stable disease or PD.
One or more bi-dimensionally measurable brain lesions with a minimum diameter greater than or equal to (≥)1 centimeter (cm) × ≥1 cm in gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) of 0-2
Adequate bone marrow, renal, and hepatic function per central lab values
Participants must agree to comply with all defined contraceptive requirements
Exclusion Criteria
Participants with isolated intraocular PCNSL or spinal PCNSL with no brain lesions
Participants with non-B-cell PCNSL
Participants with systemic presence of lymphoma
Refractory to temozolomide with or without rituximab-containing regimens in the last PCNSL treatment
Concomitant systemic corticosteroid exposure within 14 days before starting study drug per Investigator assessment with the exception of the following:
Equivalent of up to 10 milligram per day (mg/day) of prednisone for a disease other than PCNSL
Equivalent of up to 50 mg/day of prednisone (equal to 8 mg/day dexamethasone) for participants with lesions of the brain and/or spinal cord
Active malignancy, other than PCNSL requiring systemic therapy
Poorly controlled comorbidity, or history of medical conditions contraindicated per Investigator assessment
