What side effects are associated with this type of intervention?

Common treatments for Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) include chemotherapy regimens such as fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab (FCR), as well as targeted therapies like ibrutinib, a Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor. Ibrutinib is associated with side effects such as atrial fibrillation, hypertension, and infections. Other treatments like bendamustine combined with rituximab can cause hematologic toxicities, including neutropenia and thrombocytopenia. Additionally, targeted therapies may result in partial alopecia, hair curling, and dyspigmentation. Overall, while these treatments are effective, they come with a range of potential side effects that need to be managed.

What prior FDA approvals exist?

Ibrutinib, a BTK inhibitor, was approved by the FDA for the treatment of Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) in patients who have received at least one prior therapy. Other similar treatments include Acalabrutinib, another BTK inhibitor, which has also been approved for MCL. Additionally, Bortezomib, a proteasome inhibitor, and Lenalidomide, an immunomodulatory drug, have been approved for relapsed or refractory MCL. These treatments have shown efficacy in managing MCL, particularly in patients who have not responded to initial therapies.

What other types of research exist?

Promising novel alternatives to Ibrutinib for Mantle Cell Lymphoma patients include Venetoclax, which has shown improved outcomes when combined with Ibrutinib, and KTE-X19 CAR T-Cell Therapy, which has demonstrated efficacy in relapsed or refractory MCL. Additionally, the PI3Kδ inhibitor Idelalisib and the anti-CD79B antibody-drug conjugate Polatuzumab Vedotin are emerging treatments with potential benefits for MCL patients.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for patients already enrolled in completed ibrutinib studies, having received at least 6 months of treatment. They should benefit from continued use and agree to contraception. Excluded are those needing strong CYP3A4/5 inhibitors or anticoagulants like warfarin.

What is being tested?

The study aims to collect long-term data on the safety and effectiveness of the drug Ibrutinib for various lymphomas, leukemias, and graft-versus-host disease. It provides ongoing access to Ibrutinib for eligible participants.

What are the potential side effects?

Ibrutinib may cause side effects such as bleeding problems, infections, fatigue, diarrhea, muscle and bone pain. The risk varies by individual health conditions.

Mechanism Of Action

Side Effect Profile

Prior Approvals

Other Research

Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) treatments often target specific pathways crucial for cancer cell survival and proliferation. Ibrutinib, a BTK inhibitor, blocks the BTK enzyme, which is essential for B-cell receptor signaling, thereby inhibiting the growth and survival of malignant B-cells. Proteasome inhibitors like bortezomib disrupt protein degradation, leading to the accumulation of toxic proteins and cancer cell death. Monoclonal antibodies such as rituximab target CD20 on B-cells, marking them for destruction by the immune system. These targeted therapies are significant for MCL patients as they offer more precise treatment options with potentially fewer side effects compared to traditional chemotherapy, improving patient outcomes and quality of life.
