This pioneering Phase 2 platform trial is evaluating Zanubrutinib therapy in adults with relapsed brain lymphoma. In the first year, 20 patients with this rare and aggressive blood cancer were recruited, with first results due to be presented at an international conference next month. Later this year, recruitment will re-commence for a further 20 patients using a world-first three-drug combination, offering long-term hope for those facing limited treatment options.
