Summary

This trial is testing the safety and effectiveness of a new drug for people with a certain kind of cancer.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with certain types of B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma that have relapsed or didn't respond to previous treatments. Participants must not be pregnant, should agree to use contraception if they can have children, and cannot have serious heart issues or gastrointestinal conditions that could affect the study.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Acalabrutinib alone or combined with Rituximab for relapsed/refractory Follicular Lymphoma (FL), and its combination with Rituximab and Lenalidomide for the same condition. It aims to assess safety and effectiveness, including overall response rate in Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL).
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include digestive problems, heart rhythm issues, increased risk of infections due to weakened immune system responses, fatigue, headaches, muscle aches, and possibly severe reactions related to blood cell counts.
