IGNITE: Study of Tirabrutinib vs Rituximab/Temozolomide for Relapsed/Refractory Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL)

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate efficacy and safety of tirabrutinib alone compared with rituximab and temozolomide (R-TMZ) combination therapy in participants with Relapsed/Refractory Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL).

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Pathology report confirming the diagnosis of B-cell PCNSL
  • Relapsed or refractory B-cell PCNSL with at least 1 prior high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) based therapy for PCNSL:
  • Relapsed disease: Participants who achieved a response (CR, CRu, PR) to the last treatment and subsequently experienced disease progression.
  • Refractory disease: Participants whose best response to the last treatment was stable disease or PD.
  • One or more bi-dimensionally measurable brain lesions with a minimum diameter greater than or equal to (≥)1 centimeter (cm) × ≥1 cm in gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group Performance Status (ECOG PS) of 0-2
  • Adequate bone marrow, renal, and hepatic function per central lab values
  • Participants must agree to comply with all defined contraceptive requirements

Exclusion criteria

  • Participants with isolated intraocular PCNSL or spinal PCNSL with no brain lesions
  • Participants with non-B-cell PCNSL
  • Participants with systemic presence of lymphoma
  • Refractory to temozolomide with or without rituximab-containing regimens in the last PCNSL treatment
  • Concomitant systemic corticosteroid exposure within 14 days before starting study drug per Investigator assessment with the exception of the following:
  • Equivalent of up to 10 milligram per day (mg/day) of prednisone for a disease other than PCNSL
  • Equivalent of up to 50 mg/day of prednisone (equal to 8 mg/day dexamethasone) for participants with lesions of the brain and/or spinal cord
  • Active malignancy, other than PCNSL requiring systemic therapy
  • Poorly controlled comorbidity, or history of medical conditions contraindicated per Investigator assessment
  • Participants who are unable to swallow oral medication
  • Prior Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor treatment

Primary outcomes

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Time frame: Estimated up to 24 months

    PFS based on blinded Independent Review Committee (BIRC) assessment according to International Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma Collaborative Group (IPCG) criteria, defined as time from randomization to progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Time frame: Estimated up to 48 months]

    ORR based on BIRC per IPCG criteria, defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of complete response (CR), unconfirmed complete response (CRu), or partial response (PR).

  2. Overall Survival (OS)

    Time frame: Estimated up to 48 months

    OS defined as time from randomization until death due to any cause.

  3. Complete Response Rate (CRR)

    Time frame: Estimated up to 48 months

    CRR based on BIRC per IPCG criteria, defined as the percentage of participants with a best overall response of CR or CRu.

  4. Best Overall Response (BOR)

    Time frame: Estimated up to 48 months]

    BOR based on BIRC per IPCG criteria, defined as the best response from randomization to the date of PD or the date of initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy for PCNSL, whichever occurs first.

  5. Time to Response (TTR)

    Time frame: Estimated up to 48 months

    TTR based on BIRC per IPCG criteria, defined as time between randomization and the date of first response of CR, CRu, or PR.

  6. Time to Complete Response (TTCR)

    Time frame: Estimated up to 48 months

    TTCR based on BIRC per IPCG criteria, defined as the time between randomization and the date of first complete response (CR or CRu).

  7. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Time frame: Estimated up to 48 months

    DOR based on BIRC per IPCG criteria, defined as the time between the date of first response (CR, CRu, or PR) and the date of the first PD or date of death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

  8. Disease Free Survival (DFS)

    Time frame: Estimated up to 48 months

    DFS based on BIRC per IPCG criteria, defined as the time between the date of first complete response (CR or CRu) and the date of the first PD, or date of death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

  9. Change from Baseline in Corticosteroid Dose

    Time frame: Baseline, estimated up to 48 months
