BRAZAN Trial in Frontline MCL
(BRAZAN)
What this study is about
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of an induction regimen combining Bendamustine, Rituximab, Cytarabine (AraC), and Zanubrutinib (BRAZAN), followed by maintenance therapy with Zanubrutinib and Rituximab with or without Sonrotoclax in participants with Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL).

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of an induction regimen combining Bendamustine, Rituximab, Cytarabine (AraC), and Zanubrutinib (BRAZAN), followed by maintenance therapy with Zanubrutinib and Rituximab with or without Sonrotoclax in participants with Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL).
Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- Histologically confirmed diagnosis of mantle cell lymphoma, with review of the diagnostic pathology specimen at one of the participating institutions. Whenever possible, the Ki67 fraction should be reported or evaluated, cytogenetics should be performed, and TP53 status should be assessed (preferably by next-generation sequencing; immunohistochemical staining would be next-preferred).
- No prior anti-lymphoma therapy, with the following exceptions:
- Prior radiotherapy for localized disease is permitted.
- A course of radiotherapy for urgent symptomatic disease is also permitted. Short-course systemic corticosteroids is permissible for disease control (must be \< 7 days and ≤ 100mg/day of prednisone or ≤ 20mg/day of dexamethasone, or equivalent). Steroids must be discontinued prior to study treatment.
- Measurable disease, defined as ≥1 measurable nodal lesion (long axis \>1.5 cm or short axis \>1.0 cm) or ≥1 measurable extra-nodal lesion (long axis \>1.0 cm

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
