Acalabrutinib plus venetoclax and rituximab in treatment-naive mantle cell lymphoma: 2-year safety and efficacy analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Abstract

This phase 1b study evaluated safety and efficacy of acalabrutinib, venetoclax, and rituximab (AVR) in treatment-naive mantle cell lymphoma (TN MCL). Patients received acalabrutinib from cycle 1 until progressive disease (PD) or undue toxicity, rituximab for 6 cycles with maintenance every other cycle through cycle 24 or until PD, and venetoclax, beginning at cycle 2, for 24 cycles. Twenty-one patients were enrolled; 95.2% completed induction (6 AVR cycles) and 47.6% continued acalabrutinib maintenance. Thirteen (61.9%) patients had grade 3-4 adverse events (AEs), most commonly neutropenia (33.3%). Seven (33.3%) patients had COVID-19 infection (6 [28.6%] serious AEs and 5 [23.8%] deaths, all among unvaccinated patients). There was no grade ≥3 atrial fibrillation, ventricul
