Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This is a Phase II, open label, single arm, multi-centre study investigating the safety and efficacy of ofatumumab plus bendamustine in subjects with untreated or relapsed CLL.

Each subject from the screening phase who is willing to participate in the study and is found eligible according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria will enter the treatment phase and will receive a maximum of 6 Cycles of study treatment (ofatumumab plus bendamustine). All subjects will receive 3 Cycles of study treatment (Cycles 1, 2 and 3). Eligibility to receive study treatment for Cycles 4, 5 and 6 will be assessed following the 3rd Cycle. Subjects who have achieved at least stable disease with acceptable toxicity following 3 Cycles of treatment will be eligible to continue to receive study treatments for a maximum of 3 further Cycles. In case of progressive disease, at, or at any time after the start of Cycle 4, subjects must discontinue further study treatment and move into the study's follow-up period.

During the treatment phase, all eligible subjects will be allocated to receive the following study treatments:

  1. Subjects with Untreated CLL: Up to 6 monthly intravenous infusions of ofatumumab (Cycle 1: 300 mg Day 1 and 1000 mg Day 8; subsequent Cycles: 1000 mg at Day 1 every 28 Days) in combination with up to 6 Cycles of intravenously infused bendamustine (90 mg/m2, Days 1 and 2, every 28 Days).

  2. Subjects with Relapsed CLL: Up to 6 monthly intravenous infusions of ofatumumab (Cycle 1: 300 mg Day 1 and 1000 mg Day 8; subsequent Cycles: 1000 mg at Day 1 every 28 Days) in combination with up to 6 Cycles of intravenously infused bendamustine (70 mg/m2, Days 1 and 2, every 28 Days).

The studies primary endpoint is overall response rate (ORR) as determined by Investigator evaluation. The ORR is the percentage of subjects achieving an objective response (i.e., partial response or better), using the IWCLL updated NCI-WG guidelines. Response assessments are planned at the following time-points: After 3 Cycles of ofatumumab plus bendamustine treatment, after 6 Cycles of ofatumumab plus bendamustine treatment and after the last dose, if not after 6 cycles, of ofatumumab plus bendamustine treatment.

Follow-up assessments will be performed every 3 months following the last study treatment. The follow-up period will last for a maximum of 3 years. Response evaluation assessments to determine subject response or progression will be performed during the follow-up period, according to the IWCLL updated NCI-WG guidelines. Following progression, only survival status and details concerning the subject's next CLL therapy will be recorded.

Phase 2

Detailed Description

This is a Phase II, open label, single arm, multi-centre study investigating the safety and efficacy of ofatumumab plus bendamustine in subjects with untreated or relapsed CLL.

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the investigator assessed overall response rate (ORR), using the International Workshop for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (IWCLL) updated National Cancer Institute-sponsored Working Group (NCIWG) guidelines, in two populations i.e., subjects with previously untreated CLL and subjects with relapsed CLL administered ofatumumab plus bendamustine.

Secondary objectives are to evaluate the overall response rate with computed tomography scan (CT scan) assessment, complete response rate with and without CT scan assessment, progression free survival, overall survival, duration of response, safety and tolerability, disease, prognostic and biological marker correlation with clinical response in the two populations i.e., subjects with previously untreated CLL and subjects with relapsed CLL administered ofatumumab plus bendamustine.

Exploratory objectives are to investigate the relationship between genetic variants in host DNA and the efficacy, safety and/or tolerability of ofatumumab.

Each subject from the screening phase who is willing to participate in the study and is found eligible according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria will enter the treatment phase and will receive a maximum of 6 Cycles of study treatment (ofatumumab plus bendamustine). All subjects will receive 3 Cycles of study treatment (Cycles 1, 2 and 3). Eligibility to receive study treatment for Cycles 4, 5 and 6 will be assessed following the 3rd Cycle. Subjects who have achieved at least stable disease with acceptable toxicity following 3 Cycles of treatment will be eligible to continue to receive study treatments for a maximum of 3 further Cycles. In case of progressive disease, at, or at any time after the start of Cycle 4, subjects must discontinue further study treatment and move into the study's follow-up period.

During the treatment phase, all eligible subjects will be allocated to receive the following study treatments:

  1. Subjects with Untreated CLL: Up to 6 monthly intravenous infusions of ofatumumab (Cycle 1: 300 mg Day 1 and 1000 mg Day 8; subsequent Cycles: 1000 mg at Day 1 every 28 Days) in combination with up to 6 Cycles of intravenously infused bendamustine (90 mg/m2, Days 1 and 2, every 28 Days).

  2. Subjects with Relapsed CLL: Up to 6 monthly intravenous infusions of ofatumumab (Cycle 1: 300 mg Day 1 and 1000 mg Day 8; subsequent Cycles: 1000 mg at Day 1 every 28 Days) in combination with up to 6 Cycles of intravenously infused bendamustine (70 mg/m2, Days 1 and 2, every 28 Days).

Prior to each treatment Cycle, subjects must have an absolute neutrophil count > 1.0 x 109/L, a platelet count > 75 x 109/L, and must have recovered to Grade 1 or baseline from all clinically significant non-hematologic toxicities, other than nausea, vomiting or alopecia. If these retreatment criteria are not met, a treatment delay of up to 28 Days is permitted; thereafter, study treatment with bendamustine and ofatumumab must be discontinued. In cases of delays up to 14 Days, bendamustine treatment should be continued at the same dosage, but in case of a delay between 15-28 Days, the dosage of bendamustine must be reduced to 60 mg/m2 for all subsequent treatment Cycles for subjects recruited to the study with previously untreated CLL and 50 mg/m2 for all subsequent treatment Cycles for subjects recruited to the study with relapsed CLL.

Additionally, if within any Cycle, a subject develops a clinically significant Grade 3/4 non-hematologic toxicity, other than nausea, vomiting or alopecia, an absolute neutrophil count < 1.0 x 109/L, or a platelet count < 50% of the pre-treatment value, the bendamustine dose will also be reduced as stated above for all subsequent treatment Cycles.

Blood samples, lymph node examination, spleen and liver measurements, and constitutional symptom evaluations are performed monthly throughout the treatment phase. A bone marrow examination is required to confirm complete response (CR) at least two months after the final study treatment and when a subject fulfils the IWCLL updated NCI-WG requirements for CR. CT-Scans will also be performed, at least two months after the final study treatment, for subjects achieving a CR or partial response (PR) according to the IWCLL updated NCI-WG requirements. Follow-up assessments will be performed every 3 months following the last study treatment. The follow-up period will last for a maximum of 3 years. Response evaluation assessments to determine subject response or progression will be performed during the follow-up period, according to the IWCLL updated NCI-WG guidelines [Hallek, 2008]. Following progression, only survival status and details concerning the subject's next CLL therapy will be recorded.

Biological: Ofatumumab
Ofatumumab (ARZERRA™) is an immunoglobulin G1κ (IgG1κ) human monoclonal antibody that specifically recognises a distinct epitope encompassing both large and small extracellular loops on the human CD20 molecule expressed on B cells and binds to this site with high affinity with a dissociation half-life of approximately 3 hours. Ofatumumab induces more efficient complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) mediated cell lysis in vitro, compared to rituximab, especially in low CD20 density cells.

    9. Number of Participants With Any Adverse Event (AE) or Serious Adverse Event (SAE) [From first dose of study medication to 60 days after the last dose of study medication (if the event is considered as an AE), or up to 3 years after the last dose of study treatment or until the time of the next anti-CLL therapy, if considered a SAE]

      An AE is defined as any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product. An SAE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, is a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or is an event of possible drug-induced liver injury. Refer to the general Adverse AE/SAE module for a complete list of AEs and SAEs.

    10. Change From Baseline in the Immunoglobulin (Ig) Antibodies to End of Study Treatment [Baseline and end of study treatment (up to 30 months)]

      Immunoglobulins, or antibodies, are large proteins used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign particles such as bacteria and viruses. Their normal blood levels indicate proper immune status. Low levels indicate immuno-suppression. IgA, IgG, and IgM were measured in the blood samples of the participants. Baseline IgA, IgG, and IgM values are the last pre-dose assessment values performed on cycle 1 Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

    11. Change From Baseline in Cluster of Differentiation (CD) CD5+CD19+ Cell Counts up to 36 Months [Baseline, 3-Month Follow-up to 36-Month Follow-up (in 3 months interval)]

      CD5+ CD19+ cells were counted by flow cytometry. Flow cytometry is a technique for counting and examining microscopic particles with an electronic detection apparatus. Baseline CD5+ CD19+ cell count value is the last pre-dose assessment values performed on cycle 1 Day 1. Change from Baseline was calculated as the post-Baseline value minus the Baseline value.

    12. Change From Baseline in Cluster of Differentiation (CD) CD5-CD19+ Cell Counts up to 36 Months [Baseline, 3-Month Follow-up to 36-Month Follow-up (in 3 months interval)]

      MRD refers to small number of leukemic cells that remain in the participant during treatment or after treatment at the time the participant achieved a confirmed CR. MRD analysis was performed for the partcipants who were suspected of achieving a primary endpoint CR. Analysis of CD5+ CD19+ was performed on the bone marrow aspirate sample obtained no sooner than 2 months following the last dose of study treatment. MRD results were reported as negative or positive. The absence of MRD (negative MRD) is defined as less than one CLL cell per 10000 leukocytes.

      Participants with a Grade 3 or Grade 4 myelosuppression (anemia, neutropenia, and thrombocytopenia) are presented. Myelosuppression is defined as the decrease in the ability of the bone marrow to produce blood cells. AEs were graded according to NCI common terminology criteria for adverse events (CTCAE) grade, version 4.0 (1, mild; 2, moderate; 3, severe; 4, life-threatening/disabling; 5, death).

    17. Number of Participants With the Indicated Grade 3 or Grade 4 Adverse Event of Infection [From first dose of study medication to 60 days after the last dose of study medication (if the event is considered as an AE), or up to 3 years after the last dose of study treatment or until the time of the next anti-CLL therapy, if considered a SAE]

      The presence of HAHA in human serum was determined using a validated electrochemiluminescent assay in a multi-tier assay format. All samples were first assessed in a screening (SCR) assay, and the potential positive (Pos) samples were further tested in the confirmation (CNF) assays. Confirmed positives were reported as HAHA positive and titer was determined for each positive sample. The drug tolerance of the HAHA assay is 200 microgram/milliliter (µg/mL); thus, samples that tested negative in the assay and had ofatumumab concentrations no more than 200 µg/mL were considered as conclusive negative (C Neg) results.

      ZAP-70 is a protein normally expressed near the surface membrane of T cells and natural killer cells. ZAP-70 in B cells is used as a prognostic marker in identifying different forms of CLL. Participants with ZAP-70 testing results intermediate (Int), positive (Pos) and negative (Neg) at Baseline and who had a clinical response after last dose of study treatment are provided. Clinical responses included complete remission (CR), complete response with incomplete bone marrow recovery (CRi), nodular partial remission (nPR), partial remission (PR), disease progression (PD), and stable disease (SD). The participants with a PR, CRi, PR or nPR are called responders and the participants with SD and PD are called non-responders.

    27. Number of Participants With an Adverse Event of Any Infusion Reactions (IR) or Serious Infusion Reactions (SIR) [From the first dose of study medication to 60 days after the last dose of study medication (up to 24 hours after last dose of study treatment)]

      An Infusion reaction is defined as events occurring after the beginning of an infusion of ofatumumab or within 24 hours following the end of an infusion of bendamustine.

    Description PFS is defined as the interval of time between the date of the first administration of study treatment and the earlier of the date of disease progression (PD) and the date of death due to any cause. PD requires at least one of the following:new lesion or increase by >=50% from BL in LC, Ly, size of liver and spleen, PL >= 50% decrease from BL, or to <100,000/uL secondary to CLL, Hb decrease of >2 g/dL from BL or to <10 g/dL secondary to CLL, CLL- transformation. Response was determined according to the IWCLL updated NCI-WG guidelines 2008. Participants who have neither progressed or died at the time of analysis were censored at the date of the last adequate assessment. If there was more than 1 scheduled visit missed, PFS is censored at the last adequate assessment of response. An adequate assessment is defined as an assessment where the investigator determined a response of CR, CRi, nPR, PR, or stable disease (SD).

    Title Number of Participants With Confirmed Positive Response for Human Anti-human Antibodies (HAHA) at the Indicated Time Points
    Description The presence of HAHA in human serum was determined using a validated electrochemiluminescent assay in a multi-tier assay format. All samples were first assessed in a screening (SCR) assay, and the potential positive (Pos) samples were further tested in the confirmation (CNF) assays. Confirmed positives were reported as HAHA positive and titer was determined for each positive sample. The drug tolerance of the HAHA assay is 200 microgram/milliliter (µg/mL); thus, samples that tested negative in the assay and had ofatumumab concentrations no more than 200 µg/mL were considered as conclusive negative (C Neg) results.

    27. Secondary Outcome
    Title Number of Participants With Zeta-chain-associated Protein Kinase (ZAP) 70 Testing at Baseline Who Also Had a Clinical Response After Last Dose of Study Treatment
    Description ZAP-70 is a protein normally expressed near the surface membrane of T cells and natural killer cells. ZAP-70 in B cells is used as a prognostic marker in identifying different forms of CLL. Participants with ZAP-70 testing results intermediate (Int), positive (Pos) and negative (Neg) at Baseline and who had a clinical response after last dose of study treatment are provided. Clinical responses included complete remission (CR), complete response with incomplete bone marrow recovery (CRi), nodular partial remission (nPR), partial remission (PR), disease progression (PD), and stable disease (SD). The participants with a PR, CRi, PR or nPR are called responders and the participants with SD and PD are called non-responders.
    Time Frame From the start of study treatment until earliest date of disease progression or death (up to 3 months following last dose of study treatment)
