A Phase 1b Study Evaluating the Safety and Tolerability of ABT-199 in Combination With Rituximab in Subjects With Relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a Phase 1b, open-label, multicenter study evaluating the safety and tolerability of ABT-199 in combination with rituximab in up to 50 subjects with Relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma. The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety profile, to determine the maximum tolerated dose and establish the Recommended Phase Two Dose of ABT-199 when administered in combination with rituximab. The dose escalation portion of the study will include approximately 30 subjects. Once the recommended phase two dose and schedule have been determined, up to 20 additional subjects will be enrolled in an expanded safety portion of the study. Subjects who meet criteria for CR, CRi, or MRD-negative PR during the study may discontinue ABT 199. If disease progression occurs, as defined by iwCLL NCI/WG criteria for tumor response, or MRD progression, subjects may re-initiate ABT-199.

Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Arm 1 Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL) |
Drug: ABT-199
ABT-199 is taken continuously once daily. This is a dose escalation study, therefore the dose of ABT-199 will change throughout the study.
Other Names:
Drug: Rituximab
Rituximab will be given by intravenous infusion on day 1 of Months 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. May be reinitiated for an additional 6 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Assess the safety profile, to determine the maximum tolerated dose and Recommended Phase Two Dose of ABT-199 when administered in combination with rituximab (R) in subjects with relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma. [Continuous dosing at designated dose level up to Month 6. At end of combination treatment, ABT-199 monotherapy may continue up to 8 years following the date of the last subject enrolled. If disease progression occurs, subjects may re-initiate ABT-199.]
Protocol-defined events, which are attributed as having a reasonable possibility of being related to the administration of ABT-199 and/or rituximab, or can not be attributed by the investigator to a clearly identifiable cause such as tumor progression, concurrent illness, underlying disease or concomitant medication, will be considered a dose limiting toxicity.
Secondary Outcome Measures
- Determination of peak concentration (Cmax) of ABT-199 and/or Rituximab. [PK samples collected up to Month 6 for ABT-199 and Rituximab]
Blood samples for analysis of ABT-199 and rituximab will be collected at designated time points.
- Assess the exploratory efficacy of the combination ABT-199 and rituximab. [Tumor Assessments will be performed at: Screening, Day 1 on Months 1, 3, 7, and then every 3 months thereafter up to 8 years following the date of the last subject first dose.]
Tumor response or clinical disease progression (Objective Response Rate)
- Determination of trough concentration (Ctrough) of ABT-199 and/or Rituximab [PK samples collected up to Month 6 for ABT-199 and Rituximab]
Blood samples for analysis of ABT-199 and rituximab will be collected at designated time points.
- Determination of area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) of ABT-199 and/or Rituximab [PK samples collected up to Month 6 for ABT-199 and Rituximab]
Blood samples for analysis of ABT-199 and rituximab will be collected at designated time points.
- Assess the exploratory efficacy of the combination ABT-199 and rituximab [Tumor Assessments will be performed at: Screening, Day 1 on Months 1, 3, 7, and then every 3 months thereafter up to 8 years following the date of the last subject first dose.]
Tumor response or clinical disease progression for (Overall Survival)
- Assess the exploratory efficacy of the combination ABT-199 and rituximab [Tumor Assessments will be performed at: Screening, Day 1 on Months 1, 3, 7, and then every 3 months thereafter up to 8 years following the date of the last subject first dose.]
Tumor response or clinical disease progression for (Progression Free Survival)
- Assess the exploratory efficacy of the combination ABT-199 and rituximab [Tumor Assessments will be performed at: Screening, Day 1 on Months 1, 3, 7, and then every 3 months thereafter up to 8 years following the date of the last subject first dose.]
Tumor response or clinical disease progression for (Time to Tumor Progression)
- Assess the exploratory efficacy of the combination ABT-199 and rituximab [Tumor Assessments will be performed at: Screening, Day 1 on Months 1, 3, 7, and then every 3 months thereafter up to 8 years following the date of the last subject first dose.]
Tumor response or clinical disease progression for (Duration Of Response)
Other Outcome Measures
- Assess the exploratory pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenetics of the combination of ABT-199 and rituximab. [MRD Assessments will be performed at following timepoints: At least 2 months after CR/CRi criteria for tumor response first met, every 12 weeks thereafter until MRD negativity is achieved, and as needed.]
Minimal residual disease (MRD) will be assessed in the peripheral blood and bone marrow (BM) either by flow cytometry or real-time PCR.
