This is a single-arm, prospective, multicenter, single-stage phase-II trial for patients aged 18-69 years with ECOG PS ≥2 or ≥70 years with previously untreated PCNSL, who are not eligible for HCT-ASCT at investigators decision. This trial evaluates the CRR rate after at least 2 cycles of MTR2, the incidence and severity of adverse events, progression-free survival, and overall survival after one year. It is planned to enroll eligible patients with PCNSL, i.e. who receive at least 2 cycles of the combination of rituximab, MTX and the IMPs tafasitamab and lenalidomide, over a one-year period. Follow-up will be conducted for 1 year within the trial.

Arms

Experimental: combination of Tafasitamab (Minjuvi®), Lenalidomide, Rituximab and Methotrexate

All patients will receive tafasitamab (Minjuvi®) 12 mg/KG body weight and rituximab 375 mg/m² on days 0 and 5, followed by methotrexate 3,5 g/m² on day 1 as an intravenous infusion. Lenalidomide will be administered orally at 20 mg/day during the first cycle and at 25 mg/day during subsequent cycles on days 4-17 of each 21-day cycle for a total number of 4 cycles. The treatment duration per patient will be 84 days.
