Arms and Interventions

Arm Intervention/Treatment
Experimental: Nemtabrutinib

Participants receive nemtabrutinib at specified dose orally once daily (QD) until progressive disease (PD) or discontinuation

Drug: Nemtabrutinib
Nemtabrutinib tablets will be administered orally QD at dosage of 45 mg or 65 mg

  • MK-1026
  • ARQ 531
  • Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Number of Participants who Experience Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) per National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) version 5.0 [Up to approximately 4 weeks]

      A DLT consists of one or more of the following toxicities: Grade ≥3 nonhematologic toxicity with exception of Grade 3 nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, fatigue, and uncontrolled hypertension; Grade 4 hematologic toxicity lasting >7 days, Grade 4 platelet count decreased of any duration (with exceptions), or Grade 3 platelet count decreased with bleeding, or Grade 3 or higher febrile neutropenia of any duration; Grade 3 or Grade 4 nonhematologic laboratory abnormality, if values result in drug induced liver injury (DILI), or medical intervention is required, or the abnormality leads to hospitalization, or the abnormality persists for >1 week (with exceptions); missing >25% of nemtabrutinib doses as a result of drug-related AE(s); Grade 5 toxicity. Toxicities will be graded using NCI-CTCAE version 5.0 except hematologic toxicities in participants with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) assessed according to the International Workshop on CLL (iwCLL) criteria.

    2. Number of Participants who Experience Adverse Events (AEs) [Up to approximately 38 months]

      An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

    3. Number of Participants Discontinuing Study Treatment due to AEs [Up to approximately 38 months]

      An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Area under the Curve (AUC) of Nemtabrutinib [Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 2: Pre-dose,1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 24 hours post-dose; Day 1 of Cycle 3: pre-dose and 2 and 4 hours post-dose (up to ~57 days). Each cycle is 28 days]

      AUC is the area under the curve of plasma concentration of nemtabrutinib. Blood samples collected at designated timepoints will be used to determine AUC.

    2. Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Nemtabrutinib [Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 2: Pre-dose,1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 24 hours post-dose; Day 1 of Cycle 3: pre-dose and 2 and 4 hours post-dose (up to ~57 days). Each cycle is 28 days]

      Cmax is the maximum concentration of nemtabrutinib observed in plasma. Blood samples collected at designated timepoints will be used to determine Cmax.

    3. Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax) of Nemtabrutinib [Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 2: Pre-dose,1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 24 hours post-dose; Day 1 of Cycle 3: pre-dose and 2 and 4 hours post-dose (up to ~57 days). Each cycle is 28 days]

      Tmax is the time to reach maximum concentration of nemtabrutinib. Blood samples collected at designated timepoints will be used to determine Tmax.

    4. Minimum Concentration (Cmin) of Nemtabrutinib [Day 1 of Cycles 1 and 2: Pre-dose, 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 24 hours post-dose; Day 1 of Cycle 3: pre-dose and 2 and 4 hours post-dose (up to ~57 days). Each cycle is 28 days]

      Cmin is the minimum concentration of nemtabrutinib observed in plasma. Blood samples collected at designated timepoints will be used to determine Cmin.

    5. Objective Response Rate (ORR) as Assessed by Investigator [Up to approximately 38 months]

      ORR is the proportion of participants in the analysis population with objective response. Objective response is defined as participants who achieve at least a partial response (PR) per disease-specific criteria as assessed by investigator.

    6. Duration of Response (DOR) as Assessed by Investigator [Up to approximately 38 months]

      For participants who demonstrate an objective response as assessed by investigator, per disease-specific criteria, duration of response is defined as the time from the first documented evidence of an objective response until disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.
