Studies and Results

  • Clinical trials
    • The ACE-LY-004 trial was a single-arm, completed Phase II trial conducted from 2 March 2015 to 4 December 2020 in North America, Europe and Australia.

Adults with relapsed or refractory mantle cell lymphoma who have not received prior treatment with a BTK inhibitor

  • An additional benefit is not proven.
  • Due to its single-arm design, the ACE-LY-004 study does not allow for a comparison with the appropriate comparator therapy and is therefore not suitable for assessing the additional benefit of acalabrutinib as monotherapy.
