What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Part 1: Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events.

    Treatment-emergent adverse events were used to characterize the safety profile of acalabrutinib alone or in combination with rituximab in participants with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma (R/R FL).

    Measured: From the first dose of study drug until study discontinuation, 30 days after the last dose of study drug or one day before the first subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever was earlier, up to 80.7 months (the maximum participant's time on this study).

  2. Part 2: Investigator Assessed Objective Response Rate (ORR) According to the Lugano Classification for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL).

    The objective response rate (ORR) is used to characterize the activity of acalabrutinib alone or in combination with rituximab in participants with relapsed/refractory marginal zone lymphoma (R/R MZL).

    Measured: Based on all response assessments since the first dose of study drug until study discontinuation or the initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever was earlier, up to 65.1 months (the maximum participant's time on this study).

  3. Part 3: Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events.

    Treatment-emergent adverse events were used to characterize the safety of acalabrutinib in combination with rituximab and lenalidomide in participants with relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma (R/R FL).

    Measured: From the first dose of study drug until study discontinuation, 30 days after the last dose of study drug or one day before the first subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever was earlier, up to 54.3 months (the maximum participant's time on this study).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing acalabrutinib, rituximab (IV) and Lenalidomide in people with Non Hodgkin Lymphoma, run by Acerta Pharma BV at 29 sites in 3 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 29 sites in United States, Canada, Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 15 Oct 2025). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Part 1: Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events. (time frame: From the first dose of study drug until study discontinuation, 30 days after the last dose of study drug or one day before the first subsequent anticancer therapy, whichever was earlier, up to 80.7 months (the maximum participant's time on this study).). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Sep 2026.
