This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a combination of three drugs—zanubrutinib, rituximab, and venetoclax—in people with previously untreated follicular lymphoma. The goal is to see if this mix can improve the rate of complete remission (disappearance of cancer). Participants receive all three drugs, and the study tracks how well the cancer responds and how long it stays away.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
a combination of zanubrutinib, rituximab, and venetoclax
What this could lead to
If successful, this drug combination could offer a more effective first treatment for follicular lymphoma, potentially leading to higher remission rates.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-phase trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The combination also carries risks of side effects like infections or low blood counts.

Inclusion Criteria: * A diagnosis of follicular lymphoma (grades 1, 2, or 3a), untreated. * Stage II, III, or IV disease. * Able and willing to provide written informed consent and to comply with the study protocol. * at least one measurable disease. * Must be in need of therapy as evidenced by at least one of the following criteria: * Presence of at least one B symptom: Fever (\> 38 Celsius \[C\]) not due to infectious etiology, or Night sweats, or Weight loss \> 10% in the past 6 months; * Fatigue due to lymphoma; * Splenomegaly (\> 13 cm); * Compression syndrome (ureteral, orbital, gastrointestinal); * Any of the following cytopenias, due to lymphoma: Hemoglobin ≤ 10 g/dL, or Platelets ≤ 100 x 10\^9/L, or Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \< 1.5 x 10\^9/L; * Pleural or peritoneal effusion; * Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) \> upper limit of normal (ULN) or beta (B)2 microglobulin \> ULN; * Other lymphoma-mediated symptoms as determined by the treating physician. * ECOG ≤ 2 * ANC \> 1.0 x 10\^9/L (for patients without bone marrow involvement by lymphoma) * Platelet count \> 50 x 10\^9/L (for patients without bone marrow involvement by lymphoma) * Prothrombin time (PT)/international normal ratio (INR) \< 1.5 x (upper limit of normal) ULN and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) (activated partial thromboplastin time \[aPTT\]) \< 1.5 x ULN (unless abnormalities are unrelated to coagulopathy or bleeding disorder). When treated with warfarin or other vitamin K antagonists, then INR ≤ 3.0) * Serum aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) \< 3 x ULN * Creatinine clearance \> 30 ml/min calculated by modified Cockcroft-Gault formula * Bilirubin \< 1.5 x ULN unless bilirubin is due to Gilbert's syndrome, documented liver involvement with lymphoma, or of non-hepatic origin, in which case bilirubin should not exceed 3 g/dL * Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum (beta-human chorionic gonadotropin \[B-hCG\]) pregnancy test at screening. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are ineligible for this study Exclusion Criteria: * Known active central nervous system lymphoma or leptomeningeal disease * Follicular lymphoma with evidence of diffuse large B-cell transformation * Grade 3b follicular lymphoma * Any prior history of other malignancy besides follicular lymphoma * History of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions to monoclonal antibody therapy * Patients who have undergone major surgery within 14 days * The researchers believe that it is not advisable for the participant to take part in this trial.
