Phase II Study of Bendamustine and Rituximab Plus Venetoclax in Untreated Mantle Cell Lymphoma Over 60 Years of Age
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Venetoclax, Bendamustine, and 1 other intervention for Mantle Cell Lymphoma. Completed, enrolled 33 participants across 7 sites.
Detailed Summary
Eligible untreated patients will receive single arm venetoclax, bendamustine and rituximab as induction therapy. After 6 cycles, maintenance rituximab may be administered per physician discretion. Venetoclax is an oral Bcl-2 family protein inhibitor. It targets the B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) protein, which supports cancer cell growth and is overexpressed in many patients with mantle cell lymphoma. Venetoclax may make the cancer cells sensitive to chemotherapy. This may help to slow down the growth of cancer or may cause cancer cells to die. The purpose of this study is to see if venetoclax in combination with bendamustine and rituximab chemotherapy is effective in treating people who have mantle cell lymphoma and to examine the side effects, good and bad, associated with this combination.

Interventions
Cycle 1: Venetoclax by mouth daily. The dose will gradually increase during Cycle 1. (Day 1-7: 20 mg; Day 8-14: 50 mg; Day 15-21: 100 mg; Day 22-28: 200 mg.) Cycles 2-6: Venetoclax 400 mg by mouth daily on Days 1-10 (1 cycle = 28 days).
Cycle 1-6: Bendamustine 90 mg/m² intravenous (IV) on Days 1 and 2 of each cycle. Bendamustine may be started at 70 mg/m² in patients over the age of 75 years with comorbid conditions or patients over the age of 80 years without comorbid conditions.
Cycle 1-6: Rituximab 375 mg/m² IV on Day 1 of each cycle. After 2 consecutive cycles of Rituximab IV are well tolerated, Rituximab may be given subcutaneously.
