Study Description

For patients with advanced-stage MZL who require treatment, immunochemotherapy is the standard therapy, including regimens such as BR, R-CHOP, R-CVP, etc. The second-generation BTK inhibitor, orelabrutinib, has shown promising efficacy in relapsed/refractory MZL, suggesting that a chemofree regimen combining orelabrutinib with rituximab could also achieve good clinical outcomes in first-line treatment of MZL. However, there is still a lack of prospective studies to confirm this. This study plans to compare the efficacy and safety of orelabrutinib combined with rituximab followed by maintenance therapy with orelabrutinib to the R-CVP regimen.
