Protocol GELLC-7: Ibrutinib Followed by Ibrutinib Consolidation in Combination With Ofatumumab
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Based on the promising results obtained with ibrutinib as single agent, the results obtained with ibrutinib in combination with ofatumumab in a previous phase I/IIb study (Jaglowski 2015), and since data from in vitro studies do not support a synergistic effect of the combination of ibrutinib and anti-CD20 mAbs, we propose a chemotherapy-free combined strategy based on ibrutinib monotherapy as front line treatment for patients with CLL, with the addition of a consolidation phase with ofatumumab in patients not attaining CR under ibrutinib in order to improve the quality of their response. Since median time to CR with ibrutinib was nearly 12 months, patients will be evaluated at this time point, and those patients not in CR will add consolidated treatment with Ofatumumab. Thus, this multi-center, non-randomized phase 2 study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of ibrutinib alone or in combination with Ofatumumab in patients no attaining CR under ibrutinib as front-line therapy for patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Multicenter, non- randomized, open-label, double agent, phase II study of the Spanish Group of CLL (GELLC).
Patients with untreated CLL/SLL. Ibrutinib will be administered orally 420 mg (3 x 140 mg capsules) once daily on a continuous schedule on an outpatient basis until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After 12 cycles of ibrutinib, patients that do not achieve a complete response (CR) will be treated with the combination of ibrutinib and ofatumumab. Patients in CR after 12 cycles of ibrutinib will continue with ibrutinib alone.
Ofatumumab will be administered by IV infusion, 300mg on Day 1 and 1,000 mg on Day 8 of cycle 13, followed by 5 monthly infusions of 1,000 mg (Day 1 of subsequent 28-day cycles for cycles C14, C15, C16, C17, and C18).
A treatment cycle will be defined as lasting 28 days. Patients will be treated with ibrutinib, within the study frame, until progression, unacceptable toxicity or cycle C42 of treatment).
All patients still on study treatment at the time of cycle C42, or if the study is stopped early, will be transitioned to prescribed ibrutinib.

Eligibility Criteria
Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
-
Adult patients with previously untreated CLL or SLL defined following IWCLL criteria (Hallek, 2008).
-
Must understand and voluntarily sign an informed consent form.
-
Age ≥ 18 years at the time of signing the informed consent form and must be able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.
-
Must have a documented diagnosis of CLL or SLL [IWCLL guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of CLL (Hallek, 2008)] meeting at least one of the following criteria:
Evidence of progressive marrow failure as manifested by the development of, or worsening of, anemia and/or thrombocytopenia.
Massive (i.e. > 6 cm below the left costal margin) or progressive or symptomatic splenomegaly.
Massive nodes (i.e. > 10 cm in longest diameter) or progressive or symptomatic lymphadenopathy.
Progressive lymphocytosis with an increase of > 50% over a 2-month period, or lymphocyte doubling time (LDT) of less than 6 months.
A minimum of any one of the following disease-related symptoms: unintentional weight loss ≥ 10% within the previous 6 months, significant fatigue (i.e., ECOG PS 2; cannot work or unable to perform usual activities), fevers of greater than 38.0° C or 100.5F for 2 or more weeks without other evidence of infection, or night sweats for more than 1 month without evidence of infection
-
Physically fit patients defined as CIRS < 6 (CIRS Scale, Appendix E).
-
Must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of ≤2.
-
All sexually active subjects with the capacity to reproduce (male and female) must use high-efficacy contraceptive methods during the course of the study. These restrictions apply for 12 months after the last dose of ofatumumab or 3 months after the last dose of ibrutinib, whichever happens later. High-efficacy contraceptive methods include:
Total abstinence when consistent with the subject's typical and preferred lifestyle (periodic abstinence [e.g. calendar methods, ovulation, symptothermal and post-ovulation methods] and the withdrawal method are not acceptable contraceptive methods).
Female sterilisation defined as surgical hysterectomy, bilateral oophorectomy, or tubal ligation at least six weeks prior to the study treatment (a simple oophorectomy does not meet the definition of female sterilisation).
Male sterilisation (at least six months before screening). A man who has undergone a vasectomy must be the only partner who is a study subject.
Combination of two of the following methods (a+b or a+c or b+c):
-
Use of oral, injected or implanted hormonal contraceptives, or other hormonal contraceptive methods that have a comparable efficacy (failure rate < 1%), for example, hormonal vaginal ring or transdermal hormonal contraceptive. If an oral contraceptive is used, women must use the same pill for a minimum of three months before taking the study treatment.
-
Placement of an intrauterine device (IUD) or an intrauterine system (IUS).
-
Barrier contraceptive methods: condom or cervical cap (cervical/vault diaphragm or cap) with foam/gel/film/spermicidal cream/vaginal suppository.
- Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening. Females of child bearing potential are defined as sexually mature women without prior hysterectomy or who have had any evidence of menses in the past 12 months. However, women who have been amenorrheic for 12 or more months are still considered to be of childbearing potential if the amenorrhea is possibly due to other causes, including prior chemotherapy, anti-estrogens, or ovarian suppression
Exclusion Criteria:
-
