Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

Study B9991011 is a multi-center, international, randomized, open label, 2 component (Phase 1b followed by Phase 3), parallel-arm study of avelumab in combination with various agents for the treatment of Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL).

Condition or Disease Intervention/Treatment Phase
Phase 3

Detailed Description

The target study population of this Phase 1b/3 registrational study is patients with R/R DLBCL who have completed at least 2 (but not more than 4) lines of prior rituximab-containing multi-agent chemotherapy, and/or in whom autologous stem cell transplant (ASCT) has failed, or who are not candidates for ASCT or who are not eligible for intensive chemotherapy. Patients who are ineligible for intensive second line chemotherapy must have received at least one prior rituximab-containing combination chemotherapy regimen. The study will assess the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics (PK), immunogenicity of the 3 avelumab-based combination regimens tested, and collect patient reported outcome (PRO) data.

    Title Objective Response Rate (ORR) as Assessed by Investigator Per Lugano Response Classification Criteria
    Description ORR was defined as percentage of participants with complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), as assessed by investigator per lugano response classification criteria. CR was defined as a score of 1 (no uptake above background), 2 (uptake less than or equal to [<=] mediastinum), or 3 (uptake less than [<] mediastinum but <=liver) with or without a residual mass on PET 5-point scale (5-PS), for lymph nodes and extralymphatic sites; no new lesions; no evidence of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid disease in bone marrow. PR was defined as >=50% decrease in SPD of up to six of the largest dominant lymph nodes, no increase in size of other nodes, liver, or spleen volume, a >=50% decrease in sum of products of diameters (SPD) of hepatic and splenic nodules, absence of other organ involvement, and no new sites of disease.

    Description AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. As per NCI-CTCAE version 4.03,severity was graded as Grade 1:asymptomatic/mild symptoms,clinical/diagnostic observations only, intervention not indicated; Grade 2:moderate, minimal, local/noninvasive intervention indicated,limiting age-appropriate instrumental activities of daily life (ADL); Grade 3:severe/medically significant but not immediately life-threatening, hospitalization/prolongation of existing hospitalization indicated, disabling, limiting self-care ADL; Grade 4:life-threatening consequence, urgent intervention indicated; Grade 5:death related to AE. TEAE was defined as events which occurred during on-treatment period beginning with first dose of study treatment through minimum (30 days + last dose of study treatment or start of new anti-cancer drug therapy).
