About this trial

A double-blind, randomized phase II comparative trial will evaluate the superiority of the investigational treatment (tirabrutinib maintenance therapy) over standard care (observation with placebo) in terms of progression-free survival in patients with newly diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) who have achieved complete response (CR or CRu) following induction therapy with high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX)-based chemotherapy and have not undergone consolidative whole-brain irradiation.

Participants will:

Take protocol drug tirabrutinib or a placebo every day until disease progression or experience of unacceptable toxicity.

Visit the clinic once every 4 weeks for checkups and tests, as well as protocol drug prescription.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Histopathological diagnosis of B cell lymphoma.

Newly-diagnosed PCNSL confined to the cerebrum, cerebellum and brainstem. Patients with or without interocular lymphoma are eligible.

No evidence of systemic lymphoma before induction chemotherapy, confirmed by contrast-enhanced CT including the neck, chest, abdomen, pelvic cavity and groin, or whole-body positron-emission tomography (PET) and CT.

Disqualifiers

Synchronous or metachronous malignancies.

Infections requiring systemic treatment at the time of registration.

Body temperature >=38 degree celsius at the time of registration.

Serious lung disorders, such as interstitial pneumonia, obstructive lung disease, hypersensitive pneumonitis, symptomatic bronchospasm) at the time of registration.
