Tycel J. Phillips, MD, assistant professor at the University of Michigan Cancer Center, discusses an ongoing trial looking at acalabrutinib (Calquence) plus bendamustine and rituximab (Rituxan) in patients with treatment-naive or relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
MCL is a rare subset of non-Hodgkin lymphoma and affects 5% to 6% of patients, Phillips says. It is common in patients over the age of 65, as well as in males. However, no official standard of care has been determined.
