A Multicenter, Prospective, Phase II Study of Zanubrutinib for Maintenance in Patients With Mantle Cell Lymphoma

Zanubrutinib for Maintenance Therapy in Patients With Mantle Cell Lymphoma Who Have Remission After First-line Immunochemotherapy- a Multicenter, Prospective, Phase II Study

A Multicenter, Prospective, Phase II Study of Zanubrutinib for Maintenance in Patients With Mantle Cell Lymphoma (NCT06341556) is a Phase 2 interventional studying Mantle Cell Lymphoma and Maintenance Therapy, sponsored by Fudan University. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

This study aims to evaluate whether maintenance therapy with Zanubrutinib monotherapy could improve the 2-year progression free survival (PFS) of patients with mantle cell lymphoma who had remission after first-line immunochemotherapy

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Mantle Cell Lymphoma and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 52 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Mantle Cell Lymphoma subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)
