New drug rocbrutinib takes on tough lymphoma in major trial
NCT ID NCT07377578
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This Phase 3 trial tests a new drug called rocbrutinib against other targeted therapies for mantle cell lymphoma, a type of blood cancer. About 394 adults whose cancer has returned or not responded to previous treatment will be randomly assigned to receive rocbrutinib or another BTK inhibitor. The study aims to see if rocbrutinib can delay cancer progression better than current options.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Rocbrutinib (a targeted drug that blocks a protein called BTK to slow cancer growth)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, rocbrutinib could offer a more effective and safer treatment option for people with mantle cell lymphoma that has returned or not responded to prior therapy.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-stage Phase 3 trial, so results are not yet known. The drug may not work better than existing options, and side effects are possible.

Inclusion Criteria: * Diagnosed with MCL, who have received at least one prior systemic regimen(s), and have experienced disease progression on the most recent line of therapy. * Have at least one measurable lesion according to the Lugano Response Criteria 2014. * Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status score of 0-2. * Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks. * Adequate coagulation function, liver and kidney function, bone marrow hematopoietic function, etc. * Toxicities or complications from prior anti-tumor therapy have recovered to Grade ≤1 according to NCI CTCAE v5.0. * All male subjects and female subjects of childbearing potential must strictly use medically approved contraception throughout the entire study period. All male subjects must also avoid sperm donation during the above period. For women of childbearing potential, the result of serum pregnancy test must be obtained. Women must be non-lactating. * Subject voluntarily enrolls and signs the informed consent form, and agrees to comply with the study treatment plan and visit schedule. Exclusion Criteria: * Hypersensitivity to Rocbrutinib or any study drug in the control group. * Prior treatment with any BTK-targeted therapy (except for intolerance). * Central nervous system (CNS) involvement by lymphoma. * History of other malignancy (except MCL) within the past 2 years, excluding radically cured skin basal cell carcinoma, cervical carcinoma in situ, breast carcinoma in situ, localized squamous cell carcinoma, etc. * History of major cardiovascular events within 6 months prior to randomization. * Presence of any severe and/or uncontrolled systemic disease that, in the investigator's judgment, or have poor cardiac function. * Uncontrolled active bacterial, fungal, or viral systemic infection, or active tuberculosis infection. * Any medical condition that could interfere with the absorption, distribution, metabolism, or excretion (ADME) of the investigational drug or the evaluation of study outcomes.
