About this trial

The purpose of this study is to see if the combination of rituximab and venetoclax is effective in treating participants with untreated Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL).

The names of the study drugs involved in this study are:

* Venetoclax (a type of inhibitor) * Rituximab (a type of antibody)

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Participants must have histologically confirmed Marginal Zone Lymphoma

Patients must have measurable disease as defined by at least one lymph node ≥1.5 cm or spleen > 13 cm

Patients with intestinal MALT lymphoma must have disease that is detectable by EGD or colonoscopy with biopsy

Patients with gastric MALT lymphoma must be h. pylori negative. Patients who are h. pylori positive are allowed if they have failed a trial of h. pylori eradication

Disqualifiers

Patients who had prior systemic therapy including rituximab

Palliative radiotherapy (RT) is allowed, but must be completed at least 1 week prior to treatment on this study, and prior to any baseline imaging studies or biopsies. Patients must meet criteria for measurable/assessable disease as outlined above after completion of RT.

Prior RT for gastric MALT is allowed, but must be completed at least 1 week prior to treatment on this study, and prior to any baseline imaging studies or biopsies. Patients must meet criteria for measurable/assessable disease as outlined above after completion of RT.

Prior treatment with ibrutinib or other BTK inhibitor

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Complete Response Rate (CRR)

Complete Response (CR) rate is defined as the proportion of participants achieving CR during study treatment. CR is defined based on RECIL criteria.

Time frame
Up to 24 months

Secondary outcomes

1

Overall response rate (ORR)

ORR will be measured as the proportion of participants that achieve a PR or CR per RECIL criteria.

Time frame
Up to 24 months
2

Partial Remission (PR) Rate

Partial remission (PR) rate is defined as the proportion of participants achieving partial remission RECIL criteria.

Time frame
Up to 24 months
3

Median Progression Free Survival (PFS)

PFS based on Kaplan-Meier methodology will be measured from the time the participant initiates treatment until the first occurrence of documented progression of disease or death from any cause, censored for participants alive without progression.

Time frame
Up to 24 months
4

Median Overall Survival (OS)

OS based on Kaplan-Meier methodology will be measured from the time the participant initiates treatment until death from any cause, censored for participants alive.

Time frame
Up to 36 months
