Summary

This trial is testing a combination of drugs to treat mantle cell lymphoma, a cancer of the lymph nodes. The drugs work in different ways to kill cancer cells or stop their growth.

See full description

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with untreated Mantle Cell Lymphoma. Participants must be in good physical condition (ECOG 0-2), have adequate blood counts and organ function, and no prior lymphoma therapy except possibly steroids. Women of childbearing potential and men must agree to effective contraception or abstinence.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests a combination of chemotherapy drugs bendamustine and venetoclax with the immunotherapy drug obinutuzumab in treating Mantle Cell Lymphoma. It's a phase II trial aiming to see how well these drugs work together to stop cancer cell growth by killing them or stopping their spread.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Possible side effects include reactions from the immune system, such as inflammation in various organs due to obinutuzumab, plus typical chemotherapy-related issues like nausea, fatigue, low blood counts leading to increased infection risk, liver problems, and kidney issues.
