The objectives of this study are to establish the validity for the use of wearable device for continuous, remote monitoring of physiologic parameters, to establish the validity for the use of wearable device for continuous, remote monitoring of physiologic parameters, and to develop patient-specific algorithms to predict the trajectory of CRS and or neurotoxicity and time to escalation of medical intervention is needed.

This study is evaluating the efficacy of acalabrutinib in combination with bendamustine and rituximab (BR) compared with placebo plus BR in subjects with previously untreated mantle cell lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to compare three chemotherapy regimens consisting of bendamustine, rituximab, high dose cytarabine, and acalabrutinib, and to determine how well they work in treating patients with newly-diagnosed mantle cell lymphoma. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as bendamustine and cytarabine, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Monoclonal antibodies, such as rituximab, may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Acalabrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This study is being done to find out if one the drug combinations of bendamustine, rituximab, high dose cytarabine, and acalabrutinib is better or worse than the usual approach for mantle cell lymphoma.

The purpose of this study is to learn about the combination of choline salicylate and selinexor. We want to find out more about the side effects of the combination, what doses are safe for patients, and to collect information on how lymphoma responds to the drug combination. The doses of both drugs received will depend on when  the patient is enrolled on to the study.

The drug combination of selinexor and choline salicylate is experimental and isn’t approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Selinexor is FDA approved when given with dexamethasone for previously treated relapsed multiple myeloma. Selinexor is currently being studied in DLBCL and other types of cancer. Choline salicylate has been used as a mild pain reliever, but has not been used in the treatment of cancer. The combination is investigational because the two drugs have never been given together. However, the FDA has allowed the use of this drug combination in this research study.
