Patients with viral hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) positivity, but absence of HBsAg, are eligible if HBV DNA is undetectable and if they are willing to undergo monitoring for Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) reactivation every 12 weeks. HBV patients will be taken off trial if there is 1 log increase in viral load after the initial detection of HBV viral load regardless of LFTs.

- Any life-threatening illness, medical condition, or organ system dysfunction that, in the investigator's opinion, could compromise the patient's safety, or put the study at undue risk. Participants with suspicious radiologic evidence of aspergillosis infection (i.e., chest CT and/or brain MRI) will not be eligible unless confirmatory laboratory testing of Beta-D glucan and aspergillus antigen are negative
- Prior treatment with pemetrexed or a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor for lymphoma

Arms and Interventions

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Induction Therapy + SOC Treatment
Participants will receive the induction therapy (oral zanubrutinib + IV pemetrexed) and be placed into one of the cohorts according to standard of care (SOC) treatment: Cohort 1: Induction Therapy + Autologous Stem Cell Transplant (ASCT) After completion of the induction therapy, ASCT candidates will undergo transplant as per SOC. If the transplant is delayed and 8 induction cycles have been completed, oral zanubrutinib maintenance will proceed until transplant, but will not occur after transplant. Cohort 2: Induction Therapy + Whole Brain Radiation Therapy (WBRT) After completion of the induction therapy, WBRT candidates will undergo WBRT as per SOC. Oral zanubrutinib maintenance will start 7-10 days after the completion of WBRT. 28-d maintenance cycles will continue until disease progression. Cohort 3: Induction Therapy Alone After completion of the induction therapy, 28-day oral zanubrutinib maintenance cycles will begin and continue until disease progression |
Participants will receive 900 mg/m^2 via IV infusion over 10 minutes every 3 weeks x 4-8 induction cycles (21 days per cycle) as part of the induction therapy.
Other Names:
Participants will receive 320 mg PO daily or dose-adjusted when given concomitantly with CYP3A4 inhibitor on Days 3-19 of each induction cycle x 4-8 cycles (21 days per cycle) as part of the induction therapy. For those on maintenance therapy, participants will receive 320 mg PO daily or dose-adjusted when given concomitantly with CYP3A4 inhibitor on Days 1-28 of each maintenance cycle (28 days per cycle) until the transplant (if applicable) or disease progression.
Other Names:
ASCT will occur in participants who are candidates for this procedure according to standard of care institutional protocols
WBRT will occur in participants who are candidates for this procedure but not candidates for ASCT according to standard of care institutional protocols
