ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial, called ViPOR, is exploring a new combination of treatments for patients with aggressive types of B-cell lymphoma that have either come back after treatment (relapsed) or have not responded to previous therapies (refractory). The treatment being tested includes five medications: venetoclax, ibrutinib, prednisone, obinutuzumab, and Revlimid®. Each of these drugs works in different ways to help stop the growth of cancer cells and support the immune system in fighting the disease.

To participate in this trial, patients need to be at least 18 years old and have a confirmed diagnosis of specific aggressive B-cell lymphoma types. They should have experienced at least one prior treatment and meet other health criteria. During the trial, participants will receive the combination of medications and will be closely monitored for their safety and how well the treatment works. It's important to note that patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding cannot join the trial, and those with certain health conditions may also be excluded. Overall, this trial aims to find a potentially effective treatment for patients facing challenging types of lymphoma.

• * CD10-negative DLBCL, which includes:
• • CD10-negative non-GCB DLBCL, not otherwise specified (NOS) (i.e., CD10-/BCL6- or CD10-/BCL6+/MUM1+ DLBCL)

• • CD10-positive or negative HGBCL with MYC and BCL2 rearrangements (with or without BCL6 rearrangement) (HGBCL-DH-BCL2)
• • NOTE: The site principal investigator must review and verify the pathology report findings to ensure the patient is eligible and is assigned to the respective cohort at the time of registration

• • All patients of childbearing potential must have a serum or urine study with a sensitivity of at least 25 mIU/mL within 14 days prior to registration to rule out pregnancy and again within 24 hours prior to starting cycle 1 day 1 of treatment.
• • A patient of childbearing potential is defined as anyone, regardless of sexual orientation or whether they have undergone tubal ligation, who meets the following criteria: 1) has achieved menarche at some point, 2) has not undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy; or 3) has not been naturally postmenopausal (amenorrhea following cancer therapy does not rule out childbearing potential) for at least 24 consecutive months (i.e., has had menses at any time in the preceding 24 consecutive months)
• • Patients of childbearing potential must not expect to conceive children by abstaining from sexual intercourse or by using accepted and effective methods of contraception throughout the entire duration of protocol treatment, including during dose interruptions, and for 6 months after the last dose of protocol treatment. Male patients must not father children by abstaining from sexual intercourse or by using a condom during sexual contact with pregnant partners or partners of childbearing potential throughout the entire duration of protocol treatment, including dose interruptions, and for 6 months after the last dose of protocol treatment even if they have had a successful vasectomy
• • Male patients must agree to not donate semen or sperm during the entire duration of protocol treatment or for at least 28 days after the last dose of lenalidomide even if they have had a successful vasectomy
• • Patient must agree to abstain from breastfeeding during the entire duration of protocol treatment and for at least 6 months after the last dose of protocol treatment
• • Patient must agree to abstain from donating blood during the entire duration of protocol treatment and for at least 28 days after the last dose of lenalidomide
• • Patient must have the ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document. Patients with impaired decision-making capacity (IDMC) who have a legally authorized representative (LAR) or caregiver and/or family member available will also be considered eligible
• • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1,000/mcL without requirement for granulocyte colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) support (obtained ≤ 7 days prior to registration)
• • Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL (obtained ≤ 7 days prior to registration)
• • Platelets ≥ 75,000/mcL without requirement for platelet transfusion support (obtained ≤ 7 days prior to registration)
• • Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) (or ≤ 3.0 x institutional ULN for patients with documented Gilberts syndrome) (obtained ≤ 7 days prior to registration)
• • Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase \[SGOT\])/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase \[SGPT\]) ≤ 3.0 x institutional ULN (obtained ≤ 7 days prior to registration)
• • Creatinine ≤ 1.5 mg/dL OR creatinine clearance ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 (estimated by Cockcroft-Gault method or measured) (obtained ≤ 7 days prior to registration)
• • Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients on effective anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months of registration are eligible for this trial
• • For patients with evidence of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, the HBV viral load must be undetectable on suppressive therapy, if indicated

• • NOTE: Antiplatelet agents, other anticoagulants aside from warfarin, as well as mild or moderate CYP3A inhibitors or inducers are permitted on study but should be used with caution

If adequate archived FFPE tumor tissue is unavailable, the patient must be willing to undergo research biopsy for molecular analysis
