Study of BTK Inhibitor LOXO-305 Versus Approved BTK Inhibitor Drugs in Patients With Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL)
A Phase 3 study testing Pirtobrutinib, Ibrutinib and Acalabrutinib in people with Lymphoma, Mantle-Cell, run by Loxo Oncology, Inc. at 189 sites in 24 countries.
Trial summary
This is a study for participants with a type of blood cancer called mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). The main purpose is to compare pirtobrutinib (LOXO-305) to other drugs that work in a similar way that have already been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA).

About this study
Official title: A Phase 3 Open-Label, Randomized Study of LOXO-305 Versus Investigator Choice of BTK Inhibitor in Patients With Previously Treated BTK Inhibitor Naïve Mantle Cell Lymphoma (BRUIN MCL-321)
This is a study for participants with a type of blood cancer called mantle cell lymphoma (MCL). The main purpose is to compare pirtobrutinib (LOXO-305) to other drugs that work in a similar way that have already been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (US FDA). Participation could last up to two years, and possibly longer, if the disease does not progress.
Read the detailed description
This is a Phase 3 global, randomized, open-label study comparing pirtobrutinib (Arm A) to investigator's choice of ibrutinib, acalabrutinib or zanubrutinib (Arm B) in MCL patients who have received 1 or more lines of therapy and are BTK inhibitor naïve.

| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Arm A (Pirtobrutinib) | Experimental | Orally Receives: Drug: Pirtobrutinib |
| Arm B (Ibrutinib, Acalabrutinib, or Zanubrutinib) | Active comparator | Investigator's choice (based on local availability) of ibrutinib, acalabrutinib or zanubrutinib orally. Options are limited to those that are available/approved in the specific country. Receives: Drug: Ibrutinib; Drug: Acalabrutinib; Drug: Zanubrutinib |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
To compare progression-free survival (PFS) of pirtobrutinib as monotherapy (Arm A) to investigator choice of covalent BTK inhibitor monotherapy (Arm B) in patients with previously treated mantle cell lymphoma (MCL)
Assessed per Lugano criteria
Measured: Up to approximately 24 months
Secondary outcomes (7)
To compare Event Free Survival (EFS) as monotherapy (Arm A) to investigator choice of covalent BTK inhibitor monotherapy (Arm B) treatment arms
Defined as the time from randomization to progressive disease (PD) or start of new treatment for MCL or withdrawal from trial due to toxicity or death
Measured: Up to approximately 24 months
To compare Time to Treatment Failure (TTTF) as monotherapy (Arm A) to investigator choice of covalent BTK inhibitor monotherapy (Arm B) treatment arms
Time from randomization to time when discontinuation criteria met
Measured: Up to approximately 24 months
Time to worsening (TTW) of MCL-related symptoms
Using symptom questions identified from the European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) item library. The range of raw scores for these items could be from 0 to 52 with highest score being worse symptoms.
Measured: Up to approximately 24 months
Comparative Tolerability as measured by proportion of time with high side effect burden
Using 18 items covering 10 Patient Reported Outcome- Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (PRO-CTCAE) concepts for frequency (0-5 with 5 as most frequent), and/or presence (0-1 with 1 being present), or Severity (0-5 with 5 as most severe) and/or presence (0-1 with 1 being present); these selective adverse events will be framed and then overall side effect burden will be ascertained with the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy (FACT) - Item GP5. The range of this item is 0 -4 with 4 as most bothersome.
Measured: Up to approximately 24 months
To compare Overall Response Rate (ORR) of pirtobrutinib as monotherapy (Arm A) to investigator choice of covalent BTK inhibitor monotherapy (Arm B) treatment arms
Assessed per Lugano criteria
Measured: Up to approximately 24 months
To compare Duration of Response (DOR) of pirtobrutinib as monotherapy (Arm A) to investigator choice of covalent BTK inhibitor monotherapy (Arm B) treatment arms
Assessed per Lugano criteria
Measured: Up to approximately 24 months
To compare Overall Survival of pirtobrutinib as monotherapy (Arm A) to investigator choice of covalent BTK inhibitor monotherapy (Arm B) treatment arms
Assessed by survival
Measured: Up to approximately 24 months

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing Pirtobrutinib, Ibrutinib and Acalabrutinib in people with Lymphoma, Mantle-Cell, run by Loxo Oncology, Inc. at 189 sites in 24 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 10 inclusion and 11 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 23 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 189 sites in United States, China, Brazil, Japan, France and 19 more countries. 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 phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
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?
To compare progression-free survival (PFS) of pirtobrutinib as monotherapy (Arm A) to investigator choice of covalent BTK inhibitor monotherapy (Arm B) in patients with previously treated mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) (time frame: Up to approximately 24 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04662255, which also lists 2 linked publications.
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 23 Sep 2026.
