New combo tackles tough lymphoma after other treatments fail
NCT ID NCT06192888
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether combining glofitamab (an IV drug) with lenalidomide (an oral drug) is a feasible treatment for people with mantle cell lymphoma that has returned or not responded to prior therapy, including a BTK inhibitor. The study enrolls 39 adults and focuses on whether participants can complete the first three treatment cycles without major delays. It is an early-stage trial, so the main goal is to assess feasibility, not yet to confirm effectiveness.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Glofitamab (given by IV) and lenalidomide (taken by mouth)
- What this could lead to
- If this combination works, it could offer a new treatment option for people with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back after other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early, small Phase 1 pilot study with only 39 participants. It is designed mainly to see if the treatment is feasible, not yet to prove it works. Side effects from the drugs are possible.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years at the time of signing Informed Consent * ECOG 0-2 * Histologic diagnosis confirmed as relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma according to WHO guidelines, confirmed by the pathology department at the treating institution * If the patient previously received CD20 directed therapy, there must be evidence of CD20 expression on neoplastic cells according to instutitional pathology department guidelines. This must be confirmed on a biopsy of Relapsed/Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma performed after receipt of the last CD20 directed therapy. * At minimum 10 unstained slides or tissue block from tumor containing FFPE biospecimen sample from a Relapsed/Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma biopsy is required for tumor genomic profiling and MRD testing. If adequate archival tissue is not available, then a repeat biopsy will be required. This requirement can be waived (i.e. if site of disease is inaccessible) after discussion with the MSKCC Principal Investigator * Tumor genomic profiling from a biopsy sample collected within 6 months of signing informed consent form is required. For MSK patients, this will be done via MSK IRB#12-245 (Integrated Mutation Profiling of Actionable Cancer Targets (IMPACT)) within 6 months prior to signing Informed Consent form, and preferably repeated for patients who did not have IMPACT performed after discontinuing their last line of treatment. Patients at external sites will run genomic profiling per institutional guidelines. If sites do not have an approved assay available, they may send archival tissue to MSK. Details included in lab manual * Previously treated with at least one prior line of systemic therapy for mantle cell lymphoma. Prior BTKi failure is required. BTKi failure is defined as progression of disease during BTKi therapy or patients must have progressed or relapsed after completing BTK inhibitor therapy, or failed to achieve a PR following 12 weeks of BTK inhibitor therapy. * Presence of evaluable disease * Adequate bone marrow and organ function: * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1,000 cells/mcL, unless felt to be secondary to underlying MCL (minimum ANC 500 cells/mcL) * Hgb ≥ 8 g/dL without transfusional support for 7 days before first treatment, unless felt to be secondary to underlying MCL (minimum Hgb 7.0 g/dL) without transfusional support for 7 days before first treatment) * Platelet count ≥50,000 cells/mcL without transfusional support for 7 days before first treatment, unless felt to be secondary to underlying MCL (minimum platelet count 25,000 cells/mcL) without transfusional support for 7 days before first treatment) * Renal function assessed by calculated Cockcroft-Gault creatinine clearance (CrCl; see Appendix A) ≥ 30 ml/min.
