Recruiting PHASE2 Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma

Compares treatment options for Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma

Official title Tirabrutinib Maintenance Versus Placebo in Patients With Primary CNS Lymphoma in Complete Remission (JCOG2104)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06940791

What this study is testing

What is Tirabrutinib?

Tirabrutinib is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for primary central nervous system lymphoma.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
A double-blind, randomized phase II comparative trial will evaluate the superiority of the investigational treatment (tirabrutinib maintenance therapy) over standard care (observation with placebo) in terms of progression-free survival in patients with newly diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) who have achieved complete response (CR or CRu) following induction therapy with high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX)-based chemotherapy and have not undergone consolidative whole-brain irradiation. Participants will: Take protocol drug tirabrutinib or a placebo every day until disease progression or experience of unacceptable toxicity.
  • Phase 2: a mid-size study of how well it works
  • You might receive a placebo (an inactive treatment) instead of the study drug, decided by chance. You may not know which one you got.
