The Efficacy and Safety of ZR2 Versus R-CHOP-like Regimen for Elderly Patients With Newly Diagnosed Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma.

This is a prospective, single-center, open-label clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Zanubrutinib, Lenalidomide and Rituximab (ZR2) versus rituximab combined with CHOP or CDOP (R-CHOP or R-CDOP) in elderly patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma treated for the first time.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

In this study, elderly DLBCL patients will be treated with ZR2 regimen for the first-line treatment. Investigators will compare the complete response rate, survival and incidence of adverse reactions between the RCHOP/RCDOP chemotherapy and the ZR2 regimen. In addition, immune function tests will be performed before treatment and every 2 courses after treatment, including peripheral blood lymphocyte-monocyte ratio, cytokines, immunoglobulins, T and B cells and their quantitative analysis. Patients with ZR2 regimen will undergo gene second-generation sequencing before treatment to compare the gene mutation differences between complete response (CR) and ≤ partial response (PR) in the efficacy of ZR2 regimen, in order to find biomarkers with better efficacy in ZR2 treatment. Moreover, investigators intend to conduct pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) correlation analysis of ZR2 regimen and pharmacoeconomic evaluation of the two regimens.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Zanubrutinib+Rituximab+Lenalidomide

The ZR2 regimen will be given from day 1 of each cycle of treatment. Each cycle will last for 21 days. Participants will receive a total of 6 cycles.

Dosage:

Zanubrutinib, 160 mg bid, po, day 2-21;

Lenalidomide, 10-20 mg qd, po, day 2-14;

Rituximab, 375 mg/m², ivgtt, day 1.

Maintenance therapy:

Patients who receive complete response or partial response after induction therapy will receive lenalidomide 10-20 mg qd po during 1-21 days in every 28 days, for a maximum of 2 years.

Zanubrutinib is a bruton' s tyrosine kinase inhibitor independently developed in China.
Active Comparator: RCHOP/RCDOP

The RCHOP/RCDOP regimen will be given from day 1 of each cycle of treatment. Each cycle will last for 21 days. Participants will receive a total of 6 cycles.

Dosage:

Rituximab, 375 mg/m², ivgtt, day 1;

Cyclophosphamide, 500-750 mg/m², ivgtt, day 2;

Doxorubicin, 50 mg/m², ivgtt day 2 (liposomal doxorubicin, 20-30 mg/m², ivgtt day 2 or Epirubicin, 50-60 mg/m², ivgtt day 2);

Vincristine, 1.4 mg/m², iv day 2 or vindesine, 3mg/m², iv day 2;

Prednisone, 100 mg qd, po day 2-6.

RCHOP/RCDOP is the classic treatment of diffuse large B cell lymphoma.
