These values must be met during the Screening Period. Results from the most recent assessment will be used for eligibility. 8.Patients are required to have had the following washout periods prior to planned C1D1: a)Targeted agents or cytotoxic chemotherapy: 5 half-lives or 2 weeks, whichever is shorter b)Anticancer therapeutic monoclonal antibodies: 4 weeks; patients who crossover are not required to observe this washout period c)Palliative limited field radiation: 7 days d)Broad field radiation(≥ 30% of bone marrow or whole brain radiotherapy): 28 days 9.Prior treatment related AEs must have recovered to Grade ≤1, pretreatment baseline, or are controlled with medications without meeting other exclusion criteria (with the exception of alopecia). 10.Willingness of men and women of childbearing potential(WOCBP), and their partners, to observe barrier and/or highly effective birth control methods as outlined in Section 10.2(Appendix 2) for the duration of treatment and for 6 months following the last dose of study treatment or 12 months after the last dose of rituximab, whichever is later. When pirtobrutinib is taken with hormonal contraceptive (e.g., birth control pills), pirtobrutinib might affect the birth control. More effective birth control, such as using 2 birth control methods, should be considered. For more information on WOCBP and contraception see Protocol. Highly effective birth control methods with a failure rate of less than 1% per year when used consistently and correctly are recommended See the Protocol for examples. Notes: • Women with a history of breast cancer may not use hormone containing contraception (a, b, or d above). One of the other listed methods above should be selected. • Women of childbearing potential using hormonal contraception methods should also use a barrier method as a second form of contraception. • Sperm donation and oocyte donation are prohibited during the duration of participation on this protocol and for 6 months after the last dose of study drug, or at least 12 months following last dose of rituximab, whichever is later. 11.Willing and capable of giving signed informed consent as described in Section 10.1.2 Appendix 1 which includes compliance with the requirements and restrictions listed in the informed consent form(ICF) and in this protocol. 12.Able to swallow oral study medication. 13.Able to comply with outpatient treatment, laboratory monitoring, and required clinic visits for the duration of study participation. |
