Phase 1 Study of Ibrutinib and Immuno-Chemotherapy Using Temozolomide, Etoposide, Doxil, Dexamethasone, Ibrutinib,Rituximab (TEDDI-R) in Primary CNS Lymphoma
BACKGROUND: * Primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare subtype of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. * The outcome for patients with this diagnosis is significantly worse than for that of systemic DLBCL. Most treatment approaches in the past have included high dose methotrexate and radiation treatment. * Most PCNSLs appear to be of activated B-cell (ABC) origin. * Ibrutinib is an inhibitor of Bruton s tyrosine kinase (BTK) and effective for systemic DLBCL of ABC origin. * We propose doing a study in which ibrutinib is combined with a novel chemotherapy platform called dose adjusted temozolomide, etoposide, doxil, dexamethasone, ibrutinib, rituximab (TEDDI-R). OBJECTIVE: \- Identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of ibrutinib or the dose that achieves adequate CSF concentrations, whichever comes first, when ibrutinib is given with TEDDI-R. ELIGIBILITY: * Relapsed/refractory PCNSL. * Age greater than or equal to 18 years. * No pregnant or breast-feeding women. * Adequate organ function (defined in protocol). STUDY DESIGN: * This is a phase 1 study of 40 patients. * The study will have two components. 1. Phase 1: MTD of ibrutinib will be identified or the dose at which ibrutinib achieves a concentration of less than or equal to 100 nM in the CSF, when given in combination with TEDDI-R immuno-chemotherapy, whichever comes first. 2. Expansion cohort: Safety and tolerability of the regimen in relapsed/refractory or previously untreated PCNSL (DLBCL type) will be assessed at the final ibrutinib dose with TEDDI-R in 10 patients. Secondary objectives will be PFS and OS.

Acalabrutinib and Durvalumab in Primary and Secondary Central Nervous System Lymphoma
BTK inhibition and checkpoint blockade are promising classes of therapy for central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma and have demonstrated efficacy with acceptable toxicity. A multidrug approach may carry a higher chance of durable efficacy in this aggressive disease that carries significant morbidity and mortality. Given the poor outcomes and limited options for patients who are not candidates for high-dose methotrexate, the investigators seek to evaluate the combination in this patient population. 08/30/2022: The study was originally designed for those with primary and secondary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma. However, the first three patients who were enrolled all had secondary CNS lymphoma and most had germinal center phenotype disease with double hit phenotypes. In these three patients, two dose limiting toxicities were seen including 1 patient with grade 4 neutropenia at the time of disease progression and one with pneumonia in the setting of disease progression and worsening of existing heart disease. The third patient came off for clinical progression within cycle 1. Given the lack of response in patients with secondary CNS lymphomas, who do not exhibit the same biology as primary CNS lymphoma patients, Amendment 3 updates the study to only include patients with primary CNS lymphomas.

A Multicenter Two-Cohort Study of Methotrexate, Rituximab, Sintilimab and Pirtobrutinib for Treatment-Naive PCNSL vs. Real-World Investigator-Selected Treatment (Observational Cohort)
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate a new combination therapy for patients with newly diagnosed Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma (PCNSL). The main questions it aims to answer are: (1) Does the combination of Methotrexate, Rituximab, Sintilimab, and Pirtobrutinib improve the Complete Remission Rate (CRR)? (2) Is this regimen safe and tolerable for patients? Researchers will compare this interventional group to a real-world observational group (receiving standard investigator-selected treatments) to see if the new combination improves treatment response and survival.

Methotrexate Early Toxicity Monitoring
High-dose methotrexate (MTX) is the main componement of first line treatment in primary central nervous system lymphoma. Renal toxicity is the main dose limiting toxicity because of major MTX elimination by the kidneys. MTX crystallizes in renal tubules, leading to a renal failure (RF) and further delaying its elimination. When RF occurs, MTX accumulates, prolonging the duration of treatment exposure. MTX prolonging exposure can cause life-threatening complications and delay further treatments in the patient. Preventive measures have been developped, such as alkaline fluid hyperhydration and folic acid administration, to try to reduce the risk of these adverse events. In suspected severe RF in link to MTX is suspected, glucarpidase can be administared. However, this is an expensive treatment and not all patients recover normal renal function despite its use. MTX is an essential treatment for the management of PCNSL which is currently a curable disease especially in patients who are able to receive a consolidation treatment as thiotepa-based intensive consolidation followed by autologous stem cell transplantation (IC-ASCT). IC-ASCT requires a normal renal function, which could be impaired by severe RF secondary to MTX. The purpose of the study is to investigate how early dosing MTX could be used to simulate late concentrations. Early monitoring of MTX elimination could be implemented to identify patients at risk of delayed elimination and thus introduce rapid mesures as early administration of glucarpidase.

Glofitamab With Obinutuzumab Pre-treatment for the Treatment of Central Nervous System Lymphoma
This phase Ib trial tests the safety and side effects of glofitamab after pre-treatment with obinutuzumab and how well they work in treating patients with central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma. Glofitamab is a bispecific antibody that can bind to two different antigens (substances that cause the body to make a specific immune response) at the same time. Glofitamab binds to CD20 on lymphoma cells, and CD3 on T-cells (a type of white blood cell) and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Obinutuzumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Obinutuzumab can also be administered as a pre-treatment to make glofitamab safer and more tolerable. Giving glofitamab with obinutuzumab pre-treatment may be safe, tolerable, and/or effective in treating patients with CNS lymphoma.

Adjusted High-dose Chemotherapy With Autologous Stem Cell Transplant vs. Conventional Immunochemotherapy in Elderly PCNSL Patients
Most patients being diagnosed with primary diffuse large B-cell lymphoma of the central nervous system (PCNSL) are 60 years or older. Elderly patients with PCNSL have a poor prognosis and there is a great medical need to improve outcome for this vulnerable population. In Germany and many international centres, there are currently two widely used strategies to treat elderly PCNSL patients who are eligible for high-dose methotrexate (HD-MTX) treatment, which have not yet been compared head-to-head. The R-MP regimen has been established by the Cooperative PCNSL Study Group as a "conventional" immunochemotherapy standard treatment for elderly patients with newly diagnosed disease and consists of Rituximab, HD-MTX and Procarbazine followed by maintenance therapy with Procarbazine. In contrast, another recently established protocol also includes HD-MTX-based induction therapy, but followed by consolidating high-dose chemotherapy and autologous stem cell transplantation (HCT-ASCT). This is an overall more intensive, but substantially shorter treatment approach, feasible for elderly patients being considered eligible for a more intensive treatment. The PRIMA-CNS trial aims to compare these two treatment approaches with respect to survival, response rates and toxicity.
