NCT ID NCT07104032

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 19, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This study tests a new drug called tirabrutinib against a standard combination therapy (rituximab and temozolomide) in people whose primary central nervous system lymphoma has returned or not responded to prior treatment. About 132 adults with confirmed B-cell PCNSL will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The goal is to see if tirabrutinib alone can better control the cancer and improve survival.
