magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) performed within 14 days before starting tirabrutinib
treatment
6. ECOG PS of 0, 1 or 2
7. Life expectancy of at least 3 months
8. Adequate bone marrow, renal, and hepatic function
Exclusion Criteria:
1. Intraocular PCNSL with no brain lesion
2. Patient who is intolerant of contrast enhanced MRI due to allergic reactions to
contrast agents
3. Patient with non-B cell PCNSL
4. Patient with systemic presence of lymphoma
5. Prior chemotherapy within 21 days, nitrosourea within 42 days, an antibody drug with
anticancer activity (e.g., rituximab) within 28 days, prior radiotherapy within 14
days, prior major invasive surgery within 28 days, or allogeneic stem cell transplant
within 6 months before starting tirabrutinib treatment
6. Prior BTK inhibitor treatment
7. Prior investigational drugs (including treatment in clinical research, unapproved
combination products, and new dosage forms) within 28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever
is shorter, before starting tirabrutinib treatment
8. Concomitant systemic corticosteroid on an ongoing basis within 14 days before starting
tirabrutinib treatment, with the exception of the following:
- Equivalent of up to 10 mg/day of prednisone for a disease other than PCNSL
- Equivalent of up to 50 mg/day of prednisone (equal to 8 mg/day of dexamethasone)
for patients with lesions of the brain or spinal cord or both
9. Patient who has received a CYP3A4 inducer or P gp inducer within 14 days before
starting tirabrutinib treatment
10. Concomitant warfarin, any other warfarin derivative anticoagulant, vitamin K
antagonists, novel oral anticoagulants, or antiplatelet therapy on an ongoing basis
within 7 days before starting tirabrutinib treatment
11. Active malignancy, other than PCNSL requiring systemic therapy
12. Poorly controlled comorbidity, severe heart, severe lung disease, clinically
significant liver diseases that could affect protocol compliance or safety or efficacy
assessments
13. Patient with bleeding diathesis
14. Patients with a history of moderate or severe hepatic impairment
15. QTcF > 480 milliseconds or requirement for ongoing treatment with concomitant
medications that prolong the QT interval
16. Active infection, including a HIV, cytomegalovirus infection or SARS-CoV-2, or has
had, within 28 days before starting tirabrutinib treatment, an infection (other than
nail trichophytosis) that requires hospitalization or an intravenous antibiotic
17. Prior history of hypersensitivity or anaphylaxis to tirabrutinib
18. Medical history of organ allografts
19. Tests positive for HIV-1 antibody and HIV-2 antibody, human T-lymphotropic virus 1
antibody, HBs antigen, or HCV antibody. Tests positive for HBs antibody or hepatitis B
virus core protein antibody and has a result of at least detectable in a hepatitis B
virus deoxyribonucleic acid assay despite testing negative for HBs antigen.
20. Patient is unable to swallow tablets; has malabsorption, malabsorption syndrome, or a
comorbidity that affects gastric function; has undergone complete resection of the
stomach or small intestine; has ulcerative colitis or symptomatic inflammatory bowel
disease; or has partial or complete intestinal obstruction.
21. Women who are pregnant or lactating
22. Patient is found incapable of giving consent due to dementia or another such condition
23. Patient is found to be otherwise ineligible for the study by the Investigator or
sub-Investigator.
