Summary

This trial is testing ixazomib given with rituximab after stem cell transplant to see how well it works and what the side effects are.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients with Mantle Cell Lymphoma in remission after a stem cell transplant. They must have good organ function, no recent chemotherapy or radiation, and no uncontrolled illnesses. Women should not be pregnant and participants must agree to use effective contraception.
What is being tested?
The trial tests the combination of Ixazomib (an enzyme blocker) and Rituximab (a monoclonal antibody) post-stem cell transplant to prevent cancer recurrence. It aims to determine the best dose of Ixazomib while assessing how well both drugs work together.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects include reactions related to immune system activation by Rituximab, such as fever or chills, and effects from Ixazomib like gastrointestinal issues or skin rash. Organ inflammation and blood disorders may also occur.

Median OS (Phase II)
Median PFS (Phase II)
+3 more
Other study objectives
Median OS for patients who have a pre-transplant PET/CT (Phase II)
Median PFS for patients who have a pre-transplant PET/CT (Phase II)
PFS for patients who have a pre-transplant PET/CT (Phase II)
+1 more

Trial Design

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Treatment (ixazomib, rituximab)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Beginning between 70-180 days after stem cell transplant, patients receive ixazomib PO on days 1, 8, and 15, and rituximab IV (or SC after first dose if deemed appropriate) on day 1 of courses 1, 3, 5, 7, and 9. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 10 courses in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
