About this trial
A total of six cycles of the R-PMDT regimen (rituximab, pirtobrutinib, high-dose methotrexate, dexamethasone, and thiotepa) will be administered to patients with newly diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL). The primary objective is to assess the overall response rate (ORR) of R-PMDT. Secondary objectives include evaluating the complete response rate, progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), and safety.

Treatments tested in this trial
R-PMDT
DrugRituximab (375 mg/m², IV infusion) is given on day 0; methotrexate (3.5 g/m², IV infusion over 3 hours) on day 1; dexamethasone (20 mg, IV infusion) on days 1-4; thiotepa (30 mg/m², IV infusion) on day 1; and pirtobrutinib (200 mg, oral) on days 4-21 or until the day prior to methotrexate administration in the next cycle.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Overall response rate (ORR)
The proportion of subjects achieving either a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) after treatment with R-PMDT, as assessed by the Lugano criteria.
Secondary outcomes
Complete response rate (CRR)
The proportion of subjects achieving a CR after treatment with R-PMDT, as assessed by the Lugano criteria.
Progression-Free-Survival (PFS)
From the date of the first dose of therapy is given until disease progression, death or last follow-up
Overall survival (OS)
From the date of the first dose of therapy to the date of death from any cause.
