Summary

This trial is testing a new drug for mantle cell lymphoma in combination with two other drugs.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults diagnosed with Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) who have not been treated before. Participants must be in relatively good health, with an ECOG performance status of ≤ 2, and agree to use effective contraception. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those with significant heart disease or gastrointestinal issues that affect drug absorption, or active infections are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study is testing Acalabrutinib combined with either Bendamustine and Rituximab (BR) or Venetoclax and Rituximab (VR). It's a Phase 1b trial where all participants receive the experimental treatment combinations to determine safety and dosage levels.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include digestive disturbances due to Bendamustine or Venetoclax; infusion reactions from Rituximab; increased risk of bleeding, bruising, infection from Acalabrutinib; as well as general symptoms like fatigue and nausea.
