What is being measured

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

  1. 3-year PFS rate

    PFS is defined as the first dose of treatment to the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever occurs first. 3-year PFS rate will be estimated by Kaplan-Meier.

    Measured: From the first dose of treatment to the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 66 months.

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Overall response rate (ORR)

    Overall response rate is the proportion of patients who achieve either a complete or partial response to treatment defined by the Lugano classification criteria for lymphoma response evaluation (2014 edition)/GELA (gastric MALT).

    Measured: On Day 1 of Cycle 4, Day 1 of Cycle 7, Day 1 of Cycle 13, Day 1 of Cycle 19, Day 1 of Cycle 25, Day 1 of Cycle 31 (each cycle is 28 days).

  2. Rate of best overall response (BOR)

    The rate of best overall response is the proportion of patients who achieve their best recorded response (complete or partial) to treatment at any time during the study.

    Measured: On Day 1 of Cycle 4, Day 1 of Cycle 7, Day 1 of Cycle 13, Day 1 of Cycle 19, Day 1 of Cycle 25, Day 1 of Cycle 31 (each cycle is 28 days).

  3. Time to response (TTR)

    Time to response is the duration from the start of treatment to the first documentation of a complete or partial response.

    Measured: On Day 1 of Cycle 4, Day 1 of Cycle 7, Day 1 of Cycle 13, Day 1 of Cycle 19, Day 1 of Cycle 25, Day 1 of Cycle 31 (each cycle is 28 days).

  4. Progression-free survival (PFS) rate

    PFS is defined as the time from the first dose of treatment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever occurs first. For subjects without progression, relapse, or death at the time of analysis, EFS will be censored at the last assessment date.

    Measured: From the first dose of treatment until the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 66 months.

  5. Overall survival (OS) rate

    OS is defined as the time from the first dose of treatment until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 66 months. Subjects who remain alive at the time of analysis will be censored at the last known alive date of the subject.

    Measured: From the first dose of treatment until the date of death from any cause, assessed up to 66 months.

  6. Rate of progression of disease within 24 months (POD24)

    Progression of disease within 24 months is defined as patients whose disease relapse or progress within 24 months of first treatment.

    Measured: On Day 1 of Cycle 4, Day 1 of Cycle 7, Day 1 of Cycle 13, Day 1 of Cycle 19, Day 1 of Cycle 25, Day 1 of Cycle 31 (each cycle is 28 days).

  7. Quality of life (FACT-Lym)

    FACT-Lym (Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-Lymphoma) is a validated questionnaire that measures health-related quality of life in patients with lymphoma, covering physical, social/family, emotional, and functional well-being, along with lymphoma-specific symptoms and concerns. FACT-Lym has 42 items, and scores of every item range from 0 to 4, with higher scores indicating better quality of life.

    Measured: On Screening, Day 1 of Cycle 1, Day 1 of Cycle 4, Day 1 of Cycle 7, Day 1 of Cycle 13, Day 1 of Cycle 19, Day 1 of Cycle 25, Day 1 of Cycle 31 (each cycle is 28 days).

  8. Adverse Events

    All treatment-emergent AEs will be included in the analysis. For each AE, the number and percentage of subjects who experience at least one occurrence of the given event will be summarized. The number and percent of subjects with TEAEs will be summarized according to intensity (CTCAE, v5) for hematologic toxicity, and drug relationship, as well as categorized by system organ class and preferred term. Summaries, listings, datasets, or subject narratives may be provided, as appropriate, for those subjects who die, who discontinue treatment due to an AE, or who experience a severe AE or a SAE.

    Measured: From screening to 3 years after the end of maintenance therapy.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Orelabrutinib, Zebetuzumab and Lenalidomide in people with Marginal Zone Lymphoma(MZL), run by The First Affiliated Hospital with Nanjing Medical University at 1 site in China.

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 12 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: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Oct 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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 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?

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?

Contact Jianyong Li, PhD, MD (86-13951877733, lijianyonglm@126.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

3-year PFS rate (time frame: From the first dose of treatment to the date of first documented progression or date of death from any cause, whichever came first, assessed up to 66 months.). 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 6 Oct 2025.
