Rituximab plus chemo plans for older mantle cell lymphoma
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This Phase 2 trial studies whether an “extra chemo” schedule (adding cytarabine) can work better than a standard rituximab-bendamustine plan in older people with mantle cell lymphoma. It compares two treatment sequences to see which one helps patients live longer and respond better with acceptable safety.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have newly diagnosed, untreated mantle cell lymphoma confirmed by biopsy, and the cancer cells are CD20-positive
- You’re age 70 or older, or age 60–69 if you can’t safely receive high-dose chemo followed by your own stem cell transplant
- Your general fitness is not too limited (ECOG 2 or less)
- Your heart, kidneys, liver, and blood counts are strong enough for study treatment
- You agree to sign the informed consent form

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a combination of chemotherapy and targeted therapy as a first treatment for mantle cell lymphoma. It uses special scans (PET-CT) and blood tests (MRD) to guide treatment decisions and aims to improve outcomes while reducing side effects.
This trial is testing a combination of chemotherapy and targeted drugs for people who have just been diagnosed with mantle cell lymphoma and haven't had any prior treatment (except short-term steroids or local radiation). It aims to see if adding newer targeted therapies can help keep the lymphoma in remission.
This trial tests whether adding the targeted drug zanubrutinib to standard chemotherapy (R-CHOP or R-DHAP) helps people with untreated mantle cell lymphoma. It is for adults up to age 70 who are healthy enough for intensive treatment.
This trial studies whether combining zanubrutinib and rituximab can better control indolent (slow-growing) mantle cell lymphoma. It aims to improve how long participants can stay without the lymphoma worsening.
This trial tests a new combination of drugs (orelabrutinib plus BR) compared to BR alone for people with newly diagnosed mantle cell lymphoma who have not had treatment before. It may be an option if you are older or not able to have a stem cell transplant.
This trial tests a new combination of two drugs, nemtabrutinib (a targeted pill) and rituximab (an antibody infusion), for people with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who haven't had prior treatment. The goal is to see how well these drugs work together to control the lymphoma.
