Quick Navigation

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This phase I trial tests the safety and side effects of pacritinib in combination with a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor and how well it works in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement (relapsed) or that has not responded to previous treatment (refractory). Pacritinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. BTK inhibitors block a protein called BTK which is present on B-cell (a type of white blood cell) cancers such as mantle cell lymphoma at abnormal levels. This may help keep tumor cells from growing and spreading. Giving pacritinib in combination with a BTK inhibitor may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma.
