Ibrutinib + R-CHOP Followed by Ibrutinib Maintenance
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a prospective, multicenter, single arm, phase II trial in patients with ≥ 18 and <80 years with poor-prognosis (IPI ≥ 2) and newly diagnosed ABC-DLBCL.
Aim of the study is to assess the efficacy and the safety of R-CHOP in combination with ibrutinib for 6 cycles followed by ibrutinib maintenance for 18 months in ABC-DLBCL patients achieving at least a PR after the induction phase
| Condition or Disease | Intervention/Treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Phase 2 |
Detailed Description
Step 1 - Screening phase If central review will confirm and define the diagnosis of ABC-DLBCL according the COO, eligible patients will have to sign an additional informed consent prior to receive the study subsequent treatment.
Step 2 - study treatment phases Induction phase: 5 courses of R-CHOP every 21 days combined with ibrutinib (560 mg/day, continuously).
Maintenance phase: patients achieving a CR or a PR after 5 courses of RI-CHOP21 will enter the maintenance phase with ibrutinib (560 mg/day, continuously) for 18 months.
Radiotherapy could be delivered as consolidation treatment at the end of R-chemotherapy, according to Institution local clinical practice, in patients with focal PET positive residual disease and to bone extranodal lesions or scrotum, if testicular involvement irrespective of initial tumor diameter.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Progression-free survival (PFS) (1st time point of assessment) [Time between the date of enrolment and the date of disease progression, relapse or death from any cause (24 months)]
PFS of the high/high-intermediate risk patients from date of enrolment
- Progression-free survival (PFS) (2nd time point of assessment) [Time between the date of enrolment and the date of disease progression, relapse or death from any cause (36 months)]
PFS of the high/high-intermediate risk patients from date of enrolment
- Progression-free survival (PFS) (3dr time point of assessment) [Time between the date of enrolment and the date of disease progression, relapse or death from any cause (48 months)]
PFS of the high/high-intermediate risk patients from date of enrolment
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Overall Survival (OS) [Time between the date of enrolment and the date of death from any cause (24, 36 and 48 months).]
Overall Survival
- Complete response and Overall Response (CR+PR) rate at the end of induction [End of induction (EOI) (4 months)]
Complete response and Overall Response
- Duration of response (DOR) [From the date when criteria for response are met (CR or PR) until the date of progression or relapse. Patients without relapse or progression or death from other causes will be censored at their last assessment date (24 months from response date)]
Duration of response
- Complete remission (CRR) after ibrutinib maintenance [End of treatment (EOT) (up to 24 months)]
Complete remission after ibrutinib maintenance
- Event Free Survival (EFS) [From the date of enrolment to the date of disease progression, relapse from CR, initiation of subsequent systemic anti-lymphoma therapy after the least 6 cycles of RI-CHOP (each cycle is 21 days), or death whichever occurs first (24, 36 and 48 months)]
Event Free Survival
