Brief Summary:
This phase II trial compares three chemotherapy regimens consisting of bendamustine, rituximab, high dose cytarabine, and acalabrutinib and studies how well they work in treating patients with newly diagnosed mantle cell lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bendamustine and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Acalabrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This study is being done to find out if one the drug combinations of bendamustine, rituximab, high dose cytarabine, and acalabrutinib is better or worse than the usual approach for mantle cell lymphoma.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Composite of positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) complete response (CR) and peripheral blood (PB) minimal residual disease (MRD) negative rate [ Time Frame: Up to 8 weeks post treatment ]
    MRD status is defined as positive, negative, or indeterminate as measured from PB specimens following completion of treatment. Measures of frequencies and proportion, and location and dispersion will be used to describe categorical, and continuous variables respectively; 90% confidence intervals around these estimates will be computed. Kaplan-Meier method will be used to describe time-to-event endpoints and log-rank test to assess difference in time-to-event endpoints by levels of a categorical predictor. Cox proportional hazards (PH) regression model would be used to model the impact of baseline and other relevant variables on time-to-event endpoints.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression-free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: From randomization to earliest of disease progression or death, assessed at 36 months ]
  2. Incidence of adverse events [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years post randomization ]
    Assessed by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE). The cumulative dose of high dose cytarabine and proportion of patients that discontinued treatment due to toxicity will be assessed.

  3. Objective response rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years post randomization ]
    ORR is defined as the proportion of patients achieving a best response to treatment of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR). ORR and PET/CT CR will be estimated in each treatment arm in the efficacy population, as well as among all treated patients, regardless of informative tissue status.

  4. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: From randomization to death, assessed at 36 months ]
    Patients that are alive will be censored at the time of last follow-up. OS will be described using the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test will be used to compare survival by treatment arm.

  5. Mobilization failure rate [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years post randomization ]
    Defined as a yield < 2 x10^6 CD34+ stem cells/kg with a maximum of 4 course of apheresis will be summarized as a categorical variable, and compared, between treatment arms using Z- test.


Other Outcome Measures:
  1. PET/CT negative rate between the three arms [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years post randomization ]
  2. PET quantitative assessment (qPET) [ Time Frame: At end of treatment (within 6 months after the "8 weeks post treatment" timeframe) ]
    Will evaluate the association between baseline qPET and MRD status.

  3. Change of qPET parameters [ Time Frame: Baseline to end of treatment (within 6 months after the "8 weeks post treatment" timeframe) ]
    Will evaluate the association between the change of qPET parameters and MRD and compare this association across all 3 arms.

  4. Incremental prognostic value of baseline qPET to standard risk markers (Mantle Cell Lymphoma International Prognostic Index [MIPI]) [ Time Frame: At end of treatment (within 6 months after the "8 weeks post treatment" timeframe) ]
    Will assess the incremental prognostic value of baseline to standard risk markers (MIPI) in predicting MRD status.

  5. Interim PET status [ Time Frame: At end of treatment (within 6 months after the "8 weeks post treatment" timeframe) ]
    Interim PET status both qualitatively (Deauville) and quantitatively will be correlated with MRD status. Will fit a logistic regression model to evaluate this aim with binary MRD status at end of treatment (EOT) as the response variable and interim PET status as the predictor.

  6. Incremental prognostic value of interim qPET to standard risk markers (MIPI) [ Time Frame: At end of treatment (within 6 months after the "8 weeks post treatment" timeframe) ]
    Will assess the incremental prognostic value of interim qPET to standard risk markers (MIPI) in predicting MRD status.

  7. Incremental prognostic value of interim qPET to Ki67 [ Time Frame: At end of treatment (within 6 months after the "8 weeks post treatment" timeframe) ]
    Will assess the incremental prognostic value of interim qPET to Ki67 in predicting MRD status.

  8. Incremental prognostic value of baseline qPET to Ki67 [ Time Frame: At end of treatment (within 6 months after the "8 weeks post treatment" timeframe) ]
    Will assess the incremental prognostic value of baseline qPET to Ki67 in predicting MRD status.
