Study Description

Brief Summary:

This phase II trial studies how well ultra low dose radiation works before or after chemotherapy-free targeted therapy in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back or does not respond to treatment. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to kill cancer cells and shrink tumors. Ultra low dose radiation is generally associated with a lower risk of side effects which may allow patients to be able to receive low-dose radiation therapy more often than high-dose radiation therapy. This trial may help doctors learn if giving ultra low dose radiation helps control mantle cell lymphoma and improves response to chemotherapy free targeted therapy.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Recurrent Mantle Cell Lymphoma; Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma	Drug: Low Dose Radiation Therapy	Phase 2

Detailed Description:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the efficacy of adding ultra low dose radiation (ULDR) to chemotherapy free-targeted therapy (CTFTT) in contributing to a durable overall response in treated locations by estimating overall response rate (ORR) at 3 months.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate if ULDR can improve progression-free survival and overall survival.

II. To evaluate the prognostic factors associated with inferior progression-free survival, including patient related and previous treatment related and if radiation can overcome these prognostic factors.

III. To evaluate if radiation helps to bridge patients to other investigational drugs, by decreasing the disease bulk, controlling their symptoms, and maintaining a good performance status.

OUTLINE:

Patients undergo ultra low dose radiation for 1-2 days before chemotherapy free-targeted therapy. Patients may receive a second, longer course of radiation if the lesion treated does not respond.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 6 months for up to 5 years.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Overall response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: At 3 months ]
   ORR will be based on the tumors residing within the radiated field using the sum of the longest tumoral axes treated. Responses are defined as follows: i) complete response (CR): > 75% reduction in the sum of the longest tumoral axes treated within a radiation field; ii) partial response (PR): 50 to 75% reduction; and stable disease (SD): a reduction < 50%. Progressive disease will be defined as any relative increase in the sum of the longest tumoral axes within the radiated field. ORR will be assessed by positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) at 3-months after the conclusion of ultra low dose radiation (ULDR). The Lugano Classification will be used to assess tumor response. Will estimate ORR at 3 months by providing an exact 95% confidence interval for the evaluable study population.

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From the start of ULDR treatment to the time of a progression or death, assessed up to 5 years ]
   Will be estimated at select time points of interest using the Kaplan-Meier method for all patients enrolled in the study. The origination point for time will begin at the inception of ULDR. Cox proportional hazards regression will be used to evaluate potential prognostic factors.
2. Overall survival [ Time Frame: From the start of ULDR treatment to the time of death or loss to follow-up, assessed up to 5 years ]
   Will be estimated at select time points of interest using the Kaplan-Meier method for all patients enrolled in the study. The origination point for time will begin at the inception of ULDR. Cox proportional hazards regression will be used to evaluate potential prognostic factors.
3. ATM mutational status [ Time Frame: At 3 months ]
   Logistic regression will be utilized to assess the effect of patient characteristics such as ATM mutational status, on the Overall Response Rate(ORR ).
4. PET/CT metabolic parameters [ Time Frame: At 3 months ]
   Logistic regression will be utilized to assess the effect of patient characteristics such PET/CT metabolic parameters, on the Overall Response Rate (ORR).
5. The Descriptive Statistics of Patient Characteristics of the Transitions to other Investigational Drugs. [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
   Will be used to summarize patient characteristics such as transitions to other investigational drugs at select time points in a patient's follow-up domain. These summaries will indicate if ULDR helps to bridge patients to other investigational drugs, by decreasing the disease bulk, controlling their symptoms, and maintaining a good performance status.
6. The Descriptive Statistics of Patient Characteristics of the Patients Disease Bulk. [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
   Will be used to summarize patient characteristics such as disease bulk at select time points in a patient's follow-up domain. These summaries will indicate if ULDR helps to bridge patients to other investigational drugs, by decreasing the disease bulk, controlling their symptoms, and maintaining a good performance status.
7. The Descriptive Statistics of Patient Characteristics of the Patients Symptoms. [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
   Will be used to summarize patient characteristics such as symptoms at select time points in a patient's follow-up domain. These summaries will indicate if ULDR helps to bridge patients to other investigational drugs, by decreasing the disease bulk, controlling their symptoms, and maintaining a good performance status.
8. The Descriptive Statistics of Patient Characteristics of the Patients Performance status [ Time Frame: Up to 5 years ]
   Will be used to summarize patient characteristics such as performance status at select time points in a patient's follow-up domain. These summaries will indicate if ULDR helps to bridge patients to other investigational drugs, by decreasing the disease bulk, controlling their symptoms, and maintaining a good performance status.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Has had prior radiation therapy to the potential radiation target such that additional radiation therapy is considered unsafe by the treating radiation oncologist.
• Has a diagnosis of active scleroderma or lupus or any other autoimmune disease that by the opinion of the treating radiation oncologist would put the patient at unacceptable risk of toxicity.
• Any serious medical condition including but not limited to, uncontrolled hypertension, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, uncontrolled infection, active/symptomatic coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), renal failure, active hemorrhage, or psychiatric illness that, in the investigators opinion places the patient at unacceptable risk and would prevent the subject from signing the informed consent form.

• If giving radiation prevents them from going through an alternative phase I trial that could be beneficial like chimeric antigen receptor (car) T cell treatment.
