Refractory Extranodal Marginal Zone Lymphoma of Mucosa-Associated Lymphoid Tissue

This phase II trial compares the effect of mosunetuzumab alone to mosunetuzumab with zanubrutinib or polatuzumab vedotin in patients with marginal zone lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). Mosunetuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Zanubrutinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It blocks a protein called BTK, which is present on B-cell (a type of white blood cells) cancers such as marginal zone lymphoma at abnormal levels. This may help keep cancer cells from growing and spreading. Polatuzumab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, called polatuzumab, linked to a drug, called monomethyl auristatin E. Polatuzumab is a form of targeted therapy because it attaches to specific molecules (receptors) on the surface of cancer cells, known as CD79B receptors, and delivers monomethyl auristatin E to kill them. Giving mosunetuzumab alone or with zanubrutinib or polatuzumab vedotin may work well for treating relapsed or refractory marginal zone lymphoma.

This phase I trial tests zanubrutinib in combination with sonrotoclax for treating underrepresented ethnic and racial minorities with B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Many racial and ethnic minorities face additional treatment challenges which may lead to poorer outcomes, however, there are fewer racial and ethnic minorities participating in clinical trials. Zanubrutinib, a type of tyrosine kinase inhibitor, blocks a protein called Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK), which may help keep cancer cells from growing. Sonrotoclax works by blocking a protein called B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2). This protein helps certain types of blood cancer cells to survive and grow. When sonrotoclax blocks Bcl-2, it slows down or stops the growth of cancer cells and causes them to die. Zanubrutinib and sonrotoclax have been shown to be an effective treatment for B-cell cancers. Giving zanubrutinib in combination with sonrotoclax may be effective in treating ethnic and racial minorities with relapsed or refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
