Grzegorz Nowakowski, MD, assistant professor of medicine, Mayo Clinic, discusses the evolving treatment paradigm of mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).

MCL is an area where a lot of new agents are being developed, Nowakowski explains. Moreover, what is interesting is that there is a paradigm shift from chemotherapy-based combinations to targeted therapy-based regimens in the relapsed setting. These include ibrutinib (Imbruvica) plus rituximab (Rituxan) and lenalidomide (Revlimid) and rituximab. Venetoclax (Venclexta) is another agent being explored in these regimens.
