Other asymptomatic clinical presentations are acceptable in case of low tumour burden, including MCL with lymph node enlargement ≤ 3 cm in the largest diameter and with low proliferation index (Ki67 < 30%)\n- The following laboratory values at screening: • Neutrophil count ≥ 1×109/L, Haemoglobin level ≥ 100 g/L and platelet count ≥100×109/L • Transaminases (AST and ALT) ≤ 3 x ULN • Total bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN unless bilirubin rise is due to Gilbert’s disease • Calculated creatinine clearance ≥ 30 ml/min according to Cockcroft/Gault Formula (140 – age) × body weight (kg) × 0.85 (if female)/ serum creatinine (mg/dL) × 72 • Adequate coagulation, defined as activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) or partial thromboplastin time (PTT) and prothrombin (PT) or (international normalized ratio (INR) not greater than 1.5 x ULN."}

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Subjects with aggressive histological variants: blastoid and pleomorphic variants of MCL\n- History of bleeding diathesis\n- Past medical history of stroke or intracranial haemorrhage within 6 months prior to inclusion.\n- Significant cardiovascular disease defined as: i) unstable angina or acute coronary syndrome within the past 2 months prior to randomization; ii) history of myocardial infarction within 3 months prior to randomization or documented LVEF by any method of ≤ 40% in the 12 months prior to inclusion; iii) ≥ Grade 3 NYHA functional classification system of heart failure; iv) Uncontrolled or symptomatic arrhythmias.\n- Prolongation of the QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTcF) > 470 msec. QTcF is calculated using Fridericia’s Formula (QTcF): QTcF = QT/(RR0.33). Correction of suspected drug-induced QTcF prolongation can be attempted at the investigator’s discretion and only if clinically safe to do so with either discontinuation of the offending drug or switch to another drug not known to be associated with QTcF prolongation. Correction for underlying bundle branch block (BBB) allowed. NOTE: Patients with pacemakers are eligible if they have no history of fainting or clinically relevant arrhythmias while using the pacemaker\n- Patients who have tested positive for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) are excluded due to risk of opportunistic infections with both HIV and BTK inhibitors. For patients with unknown HIV status, HIV testing will be performed at Screening and result must be negative for enrolment.\n- Known active hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection based on criteria below: Patients with positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) are excluded. Patients with positive hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) and negative HBsAg require a negative hepatitis B polymerase chain reaction (PCR) evaluation before inclusion. Patients who are HBV DNA PCR positive will be excluded. Prophylactic antiviral treatment will be required in the patients with positive anti-HBc finally eligible.\n- Hepatitis C virus (HCV): positive hepatitis C antibody. If positive hepatitis C antibody result, patient will need to have a negative result for hepatitis C ribonucleic acid (RNA) before inclusion.
