Summary
This trial is testing different combinations of chemotherapy drugs and monoclonal antibodies to treat mantle cell lymphoma.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with newly diagnosed mantle cell lymphoma. Participants should be in good physical condition (ECOG score 0-2), have acceptable blood counts, liver and kidney function, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. They must agree to use contraception and cannot have certain heart conditions, active infections, bleeding disorders, severe allergies to the drugs being tested, or be on specific medications that affect drug metabolism.
What is being tested?
The study compares three chemotherapy regimens using bendamustine, rituximab, high dose cytarabine, and acalabrutinib to see which works best for treating mantle cell lymphoma. It aims to determine if these combinations are more effective than current treatments by stopping cancer cells from growing.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions at the infusion site; low blood counts leading to increased infection risk; fatigue; nausea; liver issues; allergic reactions; potential heart problems due to some of the drugs used in treatment.
