NCT ID NCT03710772

First seen Nov 06, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 36 times

Summary

This phase II trial is testing a combination of targeted drugs (ibrutinib, rituximab, venetoclax) plus chemotherapy in 51 newly diagnosed young adults with mantle cell lymphoma. The goal is to see if this approach can achieve a complete response—meaning no signs of cancer—after treatment. The study is active but no longer recruiting, and researchers are closely monitoring side effects.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

ibrutinib, rituximab, venetoclax, and combination chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, dexamethasone)

What this could lead to

If successful, this combination could become a more effective first-line treatment for young patients with mantle cell lymphoma, potentially leading to longer remission and better disease control.

What could go wrong

This is a small phase II trial (51 participants) with no control group, so results may not apply broadly. The aggressive chemotherapy carries significant side effects, and the long-term safety and efficacy are still unknown.
