Tafasitamab, Lenalidomide and Venetoclax for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma (V-MIND)

Tafasitamab, Lenalidomide and Venetoclax Combination Therapy for Relapsed or Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma (V-MIND): A Phase II Study With Safety Lead-In

This phase II trial tests how well tafasitamab, lenalidomide and venetoclax work in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back (after a period of improvement) (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Tafasitamab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Lenalidomide is in a class of medications called immunomodulatory agents. It works by helping the immune system kill cancer cells. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Giving tafasitamab, lenalidomide and venetoclax together may kill cancer cells more efficiently in patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma.

II. To assess the correlation between MRD status with clinical outcomes such as DoR, PFS and OS.

OUTLINE: Patients receive tafasitamab intravenously (IV), lenalidomide orally (PO) and venetoclax PO while on study. Patients may undergo lumbar puncture during screening. Patients undergo computed tomography (CT) scan and blood sample collection and may undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and tumor biopsy on study and during follow-up. Patients undergo positron emission tomography (PET)/CT, bone marrow biopsy, and bone marrow aspirate throughout the study.

After treatment completion, patients follow up every 3 months for 1 year, every 4 months for 1 year and then every 6 months until up to 5 years after entering the trial.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Objective response rate	A response is defined to be either a partial metabolic response (PMR) or complete metabolic response (CMR) by positron emission tomography (PET) or a partial response (PR) or complete response (CR) by computed tomography (CT) noted as the objective status using Lugano criteria. Objective response rate is defined as the proportion of evaluable patients who achieve response while on treatment. Estimate and corresponding 95% confidence intervals will be calculated according to the approach of Duffy and Santner.	Up to 5 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
Complete response rate	Will be estimated for each cohort by the total number of patients who achieve a CMR (by PET/CT) or CR (by CT) at any time on treatment divided by the total number of evaluable patients. Point estimate for complete response rate and corresponding 95% confidence interval will be provided using exact method.	Up to 5 years
Duration of response	Will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier separately for each cohort.	From first documentation of objective status(PMR or CMR by PET/CT, or PR or CR by CT) to the earliest date of progression or death, assessed up to 5 years
Progression free survival	Will be estimated using method of Kaplan-Meier separately for each cohort.	From registration to the earliest date of documentation of disease progression or death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years
Overall survival	Will be estimated using method of Kaplan-Meier for each cohort.	From registration to death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years
Incidence of adverse events (AE)	The maximum grade for each type of AE from each patient will be used for analysis, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine patterns. Additionally, the relationship of the AE(s) to the study treatment will be taken into consideration. Adverse events will be reported separately for each cohort.	Up to 5 years
