About this trial

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.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Feasibility of completing zanubrutinib lead-in (cycle 1 and cycle 2) and sonrotoclax ramp up (cycle 3)

Will be estimated as a binary proportion along with the 95% exact binomial confidence interval.

Time frame
From start of cycle 1 through end of cycle 3 (cycle length = 28 days)
2

Feasibility of patient retention through 2 cycles of the combination therapy at a steady dose

Will be estimated as a binary proportion along with the 95% exact binomial confidence interval.

Time frame
From start of cycle 4 though end of cycle 5 (cycle length = 28 days)

Secondary outcomes

1

Incidence of adverse events (AEs)

Will be coded and graded by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0. For chronic lymphocytic leukemia/small lymphocytic leukemia, hematologic AEs will be coded and graded by International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.

Time frame
Up to 30 days after last dose of study treatment
2

Overall response rate

Will be defined as achieving a best response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). Will be calculated as the proportion of response-evaluable participants achieving an overall response. Will be estimated as a binary proportion along with the 95% exact binomial confidence interval.

Time frame
After the start of protocol therapy and prior to disease progression and/or start of other anti-lymphoma therapy, assessed up to 3 years
3

CR rate

Will be defined as achieving a best response of CR. CR rate will be calculated as the proportion of response-evaluable participants achieving CR. Will be estimated as a binary proportion along with the 95% exact binomial confidence interval.

Time frame
After the start of protocol therapy and prior to disease progression and/or start of other anti-lymphoma therapy, assessed up to 3 years
4

Time to response

Will be summarized by descriptive statistics.

Time frame
From start of protocol treatment to the time CR or PR is first achieved, assessed up to 3 years
