Rituximab Plus Methotrexate With or Without Lenalidomide in Treating Patients With Newly Diagnosed Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
It is a multicenter, open-Label, randomised phase 2 study to compare the efficacy and safety study of R2-MTX chemotherapy（Lenalidomide, Rituximab and Methotrexate）with R-MTX chemotherapy（Rituximab and Methotrexate ）as first-line regimens in the treatment of newly diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma.2-year Progression free survival (PFS) is the primary endpoint.

Detailed Description
This is a multicenter, open-Label, randomised phase 2 study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rituximab plus methotrexate with or without lenalidomide as first-line regimens in the treatment of primary central nervous system lymphoma. A total of 240 patients plan to participate in this study to receive a total 6 cycles of induction chemotherapy followed by 4 cycles of maintenance chemotherapy. Follow-ups should be taken up to the first 3 years.The primary endpoints were 2-year PFS rate and and secondary endpoints including objective response rate (ORR), PFS, overall survival (OS), and adverse events.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
| Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
|---|---|
| Experimental: R2-MTX Experimental arm will be treated with R2-MTX regimen(Lenalidomide plus Rituximab and Methotrexate) for 6 cycles as initiate induction.If the patients achieved complete remission（CR）or partial remission（PR）with additional whole-brain radiotherapy（WBRT）, they processed to R2 maintenance(Lenalidomide plus Rituximab) for 4 cycles. |
Drug: Rituximab
375mg/m2 intravenous infusion d1, every 3 weeks for 1 cycle, 6 cycles will be prescribed for induction therapy. 375mg/m2 intravenous infusion d1, every 8 weeks for 1 cycle, 4 cycles will be prescribed for maintenance therapy.
Drug: Lenalidomide
25mg orally d1-10 every 3 weeks for 1 cycle, 6 cycles will be prescribed for induction therapy. 25mg orally d1-14,d29-42 every 8 weeks for 1 cycle, 4 cycles will be prescribed for maintenance therapy.
Drug: Methotrexate
3.5g/m2 intravenous infusion for 4 hours in d1, every 21 days for 1 cycle, 6 cycles will be prescribed.

| Sham Comparator: R-MTX Control arm will be treated with R-MTX regimen(Rituximab and Methotrexate) for 6 cycles as initiate induction.If the patients achieved CR or PR with additional WBRT, they processed to Lenalidomide maintenance for 4 cycles. |
Drug: Rituximab
375mg/m2 intravenous infusion d1, every 3 weeks for 1 cycle, 6 cycles will be prescribed for induction therapy. 375mg/m2 intravenous infusion d1, every 8 weeks for 1 cycle, 4 cycles will be prescribed for maintenance therapy.
Drug: Methotrexate
3.5g/m2 intravenous infusion for 4 hours in d1, every 21 days for 1 cycle, 6 cycles will be prescribed.

- Overall survival [3 years]
From date of patients sign informed consent until the date of death or the date of last follow-up time, whichever came first, assessed up to 3 years
- Progression free survival [3 years]
From date of patients sign informed consent until the date of progression or death or the date of last follow-up time, whichever came first, assessed up to 3 years
- Treatment-related adverse events [1 year]
Number of participants with treatment-related adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0
Other Outcome Measures
- Serum ctDNA biomarkers and tissue biomarkers [Up to 3 years]
Next generation sequencing of serum and tissue samples to identify circulating tumor DNA（ctDNA）and tissue biomarkers before and after treatment
