Summary

This trial is testing whether or not the combination of these three drugs can help to treat mantle cell lymphoma, which is a type of cancer that affects the lymph nodes.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) that's come back or didn't respond to treatment, and those who haven't been treated yet. Participants need good organ function, agree to use contraception, and provide bone marrow samples. It's not for those who've had certain prior treatments like BTK inhibitors or have conditions like brain metastases or severe infections.
What is being tested?
The study tests a combination of three drugs: Acalabrutinib, Venetoclax, and Obinutuzumab in treating MCL. The goal is to see how well these drugs work together in patients who have relapsed/refractory MCL or are untreated.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include diarrhea, headache, bruising, muscle pain from Acalabrutinib; nausea, low blood counts leading to infection risk from Venetoclax; infusion reactions such as fever and chills from Obinutuzumab.

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Acalabrutinib, Venetoclax, and ObinutuzumabExperimental Treatment3 Interventions
This study will consist of 3 parts (Parts A, B, and C). In the relapsed/refractory (R/R) MCL setting (Part A), the phase 1 portion consists of a dose finding stage to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D). It will follow a 3+3 dose finding schema, with a safety pause and evaluation after the first 3 participants have completed through cycle 5, day 1. If there are no dose limiting toxicities (DLTs), an additional 3 participants will be treated and if there are 0 or 1 DLTs seen, the RP2D will have been determined.11 participants will be enrolled in the Part A expansion cohort. Part B will enroll 24 participants with untreated mantle cell lymphoma who are transplant ineligible and/or TP53 mutated. Part C will enroll 12 participants with untreated mantle cell lymphoma who are transplant eligible and TP53 wild type. Each study drug is given according to a different schedule. Each treatment cycle lasts 28 days (4 weeks). * Acalabrutinib: * Obinutuzumab: * Venetoclax:
