Polatuzumab Vedotin, Venetoclax, and Rituximab and Hyaluronidase Human for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This phase II trial studies the effect of polatuzumab vedotin, venetoclax, and rituximab and hyaluronidase human in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Polatuzumab vedotin is a monoclonal antibody, polatuzumab, linked to a toxic agent called vedotin. Polatuzumab attaches to CD79B positive cancer cells in a targeted way and delivers vedotin to kill them. Venetoclax may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cell growth. Rituximab hyaluronidase is a combination of rituximab and hyaluronidase. Rituximab binds to a molecule called CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types of cancer cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Hyaluronidase allows rituximab to be given by injection under the skin. Giving rituximab and hyaluronidase by injection under the skin is faster than giving rituximab alone by infusion into the blood. Giving polatuzumab vedotin, venetoclax, and rituximab and hyaluronidase human may work better than standard therapy in treating patients with mantle cell lymphoma.

Detailed Description
PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
- To evaluate the end of induction (EOI) complete response rate (CR) for treatment with the regimen of rituximab and hyaluronidase human + polatuzumab vedotin + venetoclax (RSC + Pola + Ven) in relapsed/refractory mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
-
To evaluate the EOI overall response rate (ORR) for the combination of RSC + Pola + Ven in relapsed/refractory MCL.
-
To evaluate the best response (CR, partial response [PR]) in patients who continue on to maintenance therapy and evaluate the improvement in the depth of response.
-
To evaluate the progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) for the combination of RSC + Pola + Ven) in relapsed/ refractory MCL.
-
To compare the ORR, CR, PFS, and OS in ibrutinib refractory compared to ibrutinib naive patients.
-
To evaluate regimen-related toxicity for patients treated with RSC + Pola + Ven.
CORRELATIVE RESEARCH OBJECTIVES:
-
To evaluate changes in minimal residual disease (MRD) status in both responding and non-responding patients at EOI and end of maintenance and compared to baseline as well as correlate MRD status with PFS and OS.
-
To evaluate changes in systemic immune profiles and T cell activation induced by treatment with RituxSC (RSC) + Pola + Ven.
-
To evaluate the prognostic importance of high risk cytogenetic alterations, and other risk stratification scores in patients with relapsed/refractory MCL receiving RituxSC + Pola
- Ven.
OUTLINE:
INDUCTION: Patients receive rituximab intravenously (IV) on day 1 of cycle 1 and rituximab and hyaluronidase human subcutaneously (SC) over 5 minutes on day 1 of cycles 2-6. Patients also receive polatuzumab vedotin IV over 30-90 minutes on day 1 and venetoclax orally (PO) daily on days 1-21. Treatment repeats every 21 days for up to 6 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
MAINTENANCE: Patients receive venetoclax PO daily and rituximab and hyaluronidase human SC over 5 minutes every 60 days for up to 1 year in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 90 days for up to 5 years.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Complete response (CR) rate [At Study Completion, up to 5 years from registration]
Objective status of CR measured by positron emission tomography (PET)-computed tomography (CT) scans according to Lugano 2014.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Overall response rate (ORR) [At Study Completion, up to 5 years from registration]
The ORR at the end of induction will be estimated by the total number of patients who achieve a complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) by PET-CT scans according to Lugano 2014 divided by the total number of evaluable patients. The ORR between ibrutinib-naive and ibrutinib-pretreated patients will be compared using Fisher's exact test.
- Best response rate to maintenance therapy [At Study Completion, up to 5 years from registration]
CR, PR, and stable disease (SD) rates for patients who continue to maintenance will be estimated by number of patients who continue on maintenance therapy and achieve CR, PR or SD, respectively, at the end of maintenance divided by the total number of evaluable patients who continue to maintenance.
- Progression free survival (PFS) [From registration to the earliest date of documentation of disease progression by CT or PET/CT or death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years]
The distribution of PFS will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. The PFS between ibrutinib-naive and ibrutinib-pretreated patients will be compared using log-rank test.
- Overall survival (OS) [From registration to death due to any cause, assessed up to 5 years]
The distribution of OS will be estimated using the method of Kaplan-Meier. The OS between ibrutinib-naive and ibrutinib-pretreated patients will be compared using log-rank test.
- Incidence of adverse events (AEs) [Up to 5 years]
All AEs occurring on or after first study treatment will be summarized by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 grade.
Other Outcome Measures
- Minimal residual disease (MRD) analysis [At Study Completion, up to 5 years from registration]
MRD status for both responders and non-responders at each time point will be reported descriptively, and explored for correlation with clinical factors and patient outcomes such as PFS and OS.
- T cell subset analysis [At Study Completion, up to 5 years from registration]
T cell activation will be investigated using multi-parameter flow cytometry.
- Cytokine subset analysis [At Study Completion, up to 5 years from registration]
Systemic immune profiles will be investigated using cytokine analysis in the peripheral blood of patients.
- High risk cytogenetic alterations [At Study Completion, up to 5 years from registration]
Will be summarized using frequency and percentages.
- Risk stratification scores [At Study Completion, up to 5 years from registration]
Will be summarized using frequency and percentages.
