About this trial

This is a prospective, open-label, multicenter, randomized controlled study in treatment-naive patients with primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL, DLBCL type). Eligible participants are randomized 1:1 to the experimental arm (R-MA-PD-1: rituximab, methotrexate, cytarabine plus penpulimab) or the control arm (R-MA: rituximab, methotrexate, cytarabine). Induction is administered every 21 days for 6 cycles, followed by risk- and response-adapted consolidation (ASCT or whole-brain radiotherapy) and penpulimab maintenance. The primary objective is to compare the 2-year progression-free survival rate between the two arms.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Disqualifiers

Contraindication to any study drug.

Clinically significant liver disease, including viral or other hepatitis or cirrhosis (active HBV or active hepatitis C as defined).

HIV infection.

History of allergic disease, severe drug allergy, or known hypersensitivity to macromolecular protein preparations or any component of penpulimab.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

2-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate

PFS is defined as the time from randomization to first documented disease progression or relapse (per 2014 Lugano response criteria) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, as determined by the investigator.

Time frame
2 years from randomization

Secondary outcomes

1

Complete response (CR) rate

Proportion of patients with best overall response of CR by PET-CT during induction, per 2014 Lugano criteria.

Time frame
From randomization through end of induction (6 cycles of 21 days each; up to 18 weeks)
2

Objective response rate (ORR)

Proportion of patients with best overall response of PR or CR during induction, per 2014 Lugano criteria.

Time frame
From randomization through end of induction (6 cycles of 21 days each; up to 18 weeks)
3

Overall survival (OS)

Time from randomization to death from any cause.

Time frame
Up to 3 years from randomization
4

Duration of response (DOR)

Time from first documented response to disease progression or death from any cause.

Time frame
Up to 3 years from randomization
