A Multiple-center Phase 2 Study of Acalabrutinib-Lenalidomide-Rituximab With Real-time MRD Monitoring in Patients With Previous Untreated Mantle Cell Lymphoma

This clinical trial is for men and women age 18 and older with Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) to
check efficacy and safety of the combination of Acalabrutinib, Lenalidomide and Rituximab
(ALR) in previously untreated Mantle Cell Lymphoma.

Mantle Cell Lymphoma is a type of cancer that the body makes abnormal B-cells (white blood
cells) responsible for fighting infections. Mantle Cell Lymphoma is incurable, with a median
survival of 5-7 years. Therefore, there is a need to find more effective treatments with
fewer side effects.

Both Lenalidomide-based and Acalabrutinib inhibitor-based regimens have demonstrated
significant clinical activities in MCL patients. The clinical and non-clinical observations
suggest that Acalabrutinib-Lenalidomide-Rituximab combined therapy may produce superior
antitumor activity compared to one drug alone.

- Study Arms: single arm study.

- Patients will take medication orally and intravenous (IV). Cycles will be 1-12, 1 cycle=
28 days.

- All patients will be followed for survival until end of study or until sponsor ends the
study.

- Will continue on treatment as long as they are responding to therapy and not
experiencing unacceptable side effects.

Key eligibility:

- Open to men and women 18 years and older

- Pathologically confirmed Mantle Cell Lymphoma

- No prior systemic therapy for lymphoma

- Detailed eligibility reviewed when you contact the study team.

This is a single-arm phase 2 study to evaluate the preliminary evidence of efficacy and
safety of the combination of acalabrutinib, lenalidomide and rituximab (ALR) in previously
untreated mantle cell lymphoma, as well as the feasibility of treatment intensity adapted to
MRD status.

Study intervention starts with an induction phase consisting of 12 cycles of ALR. Subjects
that do not experience progressive disease will be eligible to enter a maintenance phase
involving continued ALR until they achieve an MRD-negative CR, disease progression or
unacceptable toxicity occurs.

Subjects will be monitored for MRD status in PB every 16 weeks during maintenance phase.
Subjects achieving MRD-negative CR at any time after induction will be eligible to stop
acalabrutinib and lenalidomide while continuing rituximab maintenance every 8 weeks. Subjects
on rituximab maintenance will be eligible for retreatment with acalabrutinib and lenalidomide
at time of either molecular or clinical progression, and continue until MRD-negative CR or
disease progression.

Subjects with no detectable MRD at baseline will receive 12 cycles of ALR induction followed
by up to 12 cycles of maintenance ALR. They are eligible to stop both acalabrutinib and
lenalidomide if in clinical CR, or stop lenalidomide alone if in clinical PR. These subjects
will not be eligible for retreatment.

Subjects will be followed after completing study intervention every 6 months for alternate
anti-cancer therapy and survival.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Histologically confirmed diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma

- Age ≥ 18 years

- No prior systemic therapy for lymphoma

- Patient has measurable disease defined by a tumor mass ≥ 1.5 cm in one dimension and
measurable in two dimensions; patient with measurable spleen disease is allowed

- Treatment should be indicated according to the treating physician

- ECOG performance status ≤ 2

- Required initial laboratory parameters:

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1000 cells/mm3

- Platelet count ≥ 75,000 cells/mm3

- Calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 30 ml/min by Cockcroft-Gault formula

- Total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 x ULN

- AST/SGOT or ALT/SGPT ≤ 3.0 x ULN

- Able to take aspirin (81 or 325 mg) daily as prophylactic anticoagulation (patients
intolerant to ASA may use low molecular weight heparin).

- All subjects must be registered into the mandatory Revlimid REMS® program, and be
willing and able to comply with the requirements of Revlimid REMS®.

- Patients of reproductive potential agree to use birth control throughout their
participation in this study, and for 28 days following study termination.

- Females of reproductive potential must adhere to the scheduled pregnancy testing as
required in the Revlimid REMS® program. Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must
have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test with a sensitivity of at least 50 mIU/mL
within 10 - 14 days and again within 24 hours prior to prescribing lenalidomide for
Cycle 1 (prescriptions must be filled within 7 days). FCBP must either commit to
continued abstinence from heterosexual intercourse or begin TWO acceptable methods of
birth control, one highly effective method and one additional effective method AT THE
SAME TIME, at least 28 days before and continue for at least 28 days after the last
dose of lenalidomide (or 2 days after the last dose of acalabrutinib, whichever is
longer). FCBP must also agree to ongoing pregnancy testing. Men must agree to use a
latex condom during sexual activity with a FCBP through one week post last dose even
if they have had a successful vasectomy. Men must also agree to refrain from sperm
donation during the same timeframe. See Appendix: Risks of Fetal Exposure, Pregnancy
Testing Guidelines and Acceptable Birth Control Methods.

- Understand and voluntarily sign an ICF prior to any study related assessments and
procedures are conducted.

- Able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients with blastoid histology

- Active viral infection with HIV or hepatitis type B or C. Seropositive HBV patients
are eligible if they are negative for HBV DNA by PCR and receive concomitant antiviral
therapy during treatment and for additional six months after coming off study.

- Prior history of malignancies other than MCL unless the patient has been disease free
for ≥ 5 years from the signing of the ICF. Exceptions include basal cell carcinoma or
squamous cell carcinoma of the skin; carcinoma in situ of cervix; carcinoma in situ of
breast, or localized prostate cancer

- Active uncontrolled systemic fungal, bacterial or viral infection (defined as ongoing
signs/symptoms related to the infection without improvement despite appropriate
