Multicenter Phase II Study of Ixazomib Maintenance in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Mantle Cell Lymphoma
1. Induction chemotherapy 1) RCHOP(Rituximab+Cyclophosphamide+Doxorubicin+Vincristine+Prednisone) 2) VR-CAP (Bortezomib+Rituximab+Cyclophosphamide+Doxorubicin+Prednisone) Patients who have received induction chemotherapy will be evaluated for responses and those who achieved more than PR(Partial response) or PR will be eligible for this study after receiving informed consents. 2. Experimental step Maintenance ixazomib beginning at least 8 weeks after completion of induction chemotherapy, patients receive ixazomib per oral 3 mg on day 1, 8, and 15 for 4 weeks. And the dose of ixazomib can be escalated to 4mg by response such as partial response or MRD positive. Treatment repeats every 4 weeks for up to 24 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients are screened and sign the informed consent after completion induction chemotherapy (RCHOP or VR-CAP) with more than PR or PR confirmed. It is likely to take approximately 8 weeks in performing above procedures. Patients start maintenance therapy at least 8 weeks and also can be allowed for the extension of 4 weeks because of delayed response evaluation, recovery toxicities of chemotherapy, and official process including agree with informed consent. Recently, ongoing studies about maintenance therapy in lymphoma have window periods of 8-12 weeks. Ixazomib maintenance should continue for 2 years.
• Male or female patients aged ≥19 years
• Histologically confirmed mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) meeting the following criteria: determined by histology and either expression of cyclin D1 (in association with CD20 and CD5) or evidence of t(11;14) translocation (by cytogenetics, fluorescence in-situ hybridization, or polymerase chain reaction)
• In all patients, a paraffin-embedded biopsy tissue block or slides (preferably of lymph node origin or bone marrow) was sent to central laboratories (Diagnostic Cytology Laboratories or department of pathology) for confirmation of diagnosis of MCL.
• Stage II, III, or IV
• Patients who received RCHOP or VR-CAP induction chemotherapy for 6 cycles confirmed response as more than PR or PR after induction therapy and who are ineligible for transplantation. .
• No clinical evidence of central nervous system (CNS) involvement by lymphoma
• Patients must have measurable disease; CT scans at baseline are required to define the extent of measurable disease; the scans must be obtained within 6 weeks prior to registration; combined CT/PET scans may be used for the baseline and subsequent evaluations if accurate tumor measurements can be obtained from the CT component
• Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \> 1,000 mm\^3 (unless low count due to marrow involvement or splenomegaly)
⁃ Platelets \> 75,000 mm\^3 (unless low counts due to marrow involvement or splenomegaly)
⁃ Creatinine clearance of ≥ 30 mL/min
⁃ Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x the upper limit of normal (may be up to 3.0 mg/dL if due to Gilbert's disease or due to liver involvement by lymphoma), alanine transaminase level ≤3 times the upper limit of normal; aspartate transaminase level ≤3 times the upper limit of normal
⁃ Patients over the age of 45 must have a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of greater than 45% documented within 90 days prior to registration
⁃ Female patients had to be post-menopausal for ≥1 year, surgically sterile, or practicing an effective method of birth control (as described in the protocol), and have a negative serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin or urine pregnancy test at screening; they also had to agree to continue using birth control measures for ≥6 months after terminating treatment. Male patients had to agree to use an acceptable method of contraception for the duration of the study.
