Primary central nervous system lymphoma

Researchers are testing a combination of rituximab, acalabrutinib, and durvalumab in adults with primary central nervous system lymphoma, a rare cancer that starts in the brain or spinal cord. The trial enrolls people whose disease has returned or worsened after earlier treatment…

This early-stage trial is testing whether adding the targeted drug orelabrutinib to a standard chemotherapy regimen can safely treat newly diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL), a rare type of lymphoma that starts in the brain or spinal cord. The study will en…

This study looked at 24 adults in Taiwan with a rare brain lymphoma that came back or didn't respond to treatment. Researchers checked how well the drug tirabrutinib worked and what side effects occurred in everyday medical practice, not a strict research lab. The goal was to see…

This phase 2 trial tested different combinations of high-dose chemotherapy drugs, with or without the targeted drug rituximab, in 227 patients newly diagnosed with primary CNS lymphoma. After initial chemotherapy, patients who responded well were randomly assigned to receive eith…

This study tested the safety and effectiveness of combining two targeted drugs, copanlisib and ibrutinib, in 18 adults with primary CNS lymphoma that had returned or not responded to prior therapy. The goal was to find the best dose and see how many patients' tumors shrank. This …

This study tested the drug ibrutinib (Imbruvica) in 93 adults with a rare type of brain lymphoma (PCNSL or SCNSL), either newly diagnosed or that had come back. The goal was to find the best dose and see if adding it to standard chemotherapy improves how many patients achieve com…

This early-phase trial tested a combination of three drugs—ibrutinib, rituximab, and lenalidomide—in 25 patients with central nervous system lymphoma that had returned or not responded to prior treatment. The main goal was to find the safest dose of ibrutinib when given with the …

This study tested whether the drug nivolumab can safely prevent primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) from coming back. It included 14 people who still had signs of tumor DNA in their spinal fluid after finishing their first chemotherapy. The goal was to see if nivoluma…

This early study tested the safety of a treatment called tisagenlecleucel in 13 people with primary central nervous system lymphoma, a rare type of brain cancer. The treatment uses specially engineered immune cells (CAR T cells) to target and attack cancer cells. The main goal wa…

This early-stage trial tested the safety of the drug nivolumab given after standard chemotherapy in 14 older adults (65 and up) with primary CNS lymphoma, a rare brain cancer. The goal was to see if adding nivolumab could help keep the cancer from coming back for at least 2 years…

This completed study looked at 136 people with newly-diagnosed primary central nervous system lymphoma (a rare brain cancer). Researchers compared standard chemo alone versus chemo plus the targeted drug orelabrutinib. The goal was to see if the combination improved tumor shrinka…

This study tested a new MRI contrast agent called RVP-001, made with manganese instead of gadolinium, in 18 adults with known brain lesions (like tumors or multiple sclerosis). The goal was to see if it is safe and can detect lesions as well as current gadolinium-based dyes. Each…

This study tested a type of talk therapy called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) in 70 people with brain tumors who also had trouble sleeping. The therapy involved six weekly group sessions delivered online. The main goal was to see if the approach was practical …

This completed Phase 1 study looked at how the drug tirabrutinib is processed in people with mild, moderate, or severe liver impairment compared to healthy volunteers. Forty participants took a single oral dose, and researchers measured drug levels and safety. The goal was to und…

This study examined how genetic variations influence the body's ability to clear high-dose methotrexate in 20 adults with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma or central nervous system lymphoma. Researchers looked for specific gene changes linked to slower drug removal. The goal was to …
