Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Progression Free Survival (PFS) by Independent Review Committee (IRC) Assessment [Randomization to Disease Progression, Death, or Censoring. Assessed for up to 5 years at the time of analysis.]

    The time from date of randomization to the date of first IRC-assessed disease progression or death due to any cause. Progression by IRC is defined per International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) 2008 criteria as lymphocyte count >/= 50% from baseline; >/= 50% increase in lymph nodes, liver or spleen; >/= 50% decrease in platelets from baseline or decrease in hemoglobin > 2 g/dL from baseline and related to CLL.

Secondary Outcome Measures

  1. Number of Patients With Atrial Fibrillation [Date of first dose until 30 days after the last dose of study drug or the start of new anticancer therapy (whichever comes first). Median follow-up was 41 months.]

    Includes MedDRA preferred terms 'atrial fibrillation' and 'atrial flutter'.

1. Primary Outcome
Title Progression Free Survival (PFS) by Independent Review Committee (IRC) Assessment
Description The time from date of randomization to the date of first IRC-assessed disease progression or death due to any cause. Progression by IRC is defined per International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) 2008 criteria as lymphocyte count >/= 50% from baseline; >/= 50% increase in lymph nodes, liver or spleen; >/= 50% decrease in platelets from baseline or decrease in hemoglobin > 2 g/dL from baseline and related to CLL.
Time Frame Randomization to Disease Progression, Death, or Censoring. Assessed for up to 5 years at the time of analysis.

Statistical Analysis 1
Statistical Analysis Overview Comparison Group Selection Acalabrutinib, Ibrutinib
Comments The hypothesis to be evaluated in the analysis of the primary efficacy endpoint is that acalabrutinib is not inferior to ibrutinib where noninferiority is defined by a pre-specified margin.
Type of Statistical Test Non-Inferiority
Comments If the upper bound of the 2-sided 95% CI for the HR is below 1.429, acalabrutinib will be concluded to be non-inferior to ibrutinib.

Method Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel
Comments 2-sided Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel test adjusted for 17p deletion status (yes vs. no) and number of prior therapies (1-3 vs. >=4).

Adverse Events

Time Frame Date of first dose until 30 days after the last dose of study drug or the start of new anticancer therapy (whichever comes first). Median follow-up was 41 months.
Adverse Event Reporting Description After the signing of the ICF and prior to the first dose of study drug, all SAEs must be reported. After the first dose of study drug, all AEs/SAEs, irrespective of attribution of causality, must be reported. All AEs will be reported until 30 days after the last dose of study drug or the start of new anticancer therapy (whichever comes first). After this period, investigators should report SAEs or other AEs of concern that are believed to be related to prior treatment with study drug.
