Summary

This study tests a combination of three drugs (pembrolizumab, ibrutinib, and rituximab) in about 37 people whose primary central nervous system lymphoma has come back or not responded to prior treatment. The goal is to see if the combo can stop the cancer from growing for at least 6 months. Participants will receive the drugs intravenously or by mouth, and researchers will monitor side effects and tumor response.
