Tafasitamab With Acalabrutinib and Venetoclax for the Treatment of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

Официальное название

A Phase 2 Study of Acalabrutinib, Venetoclax and Tafasitamab (AVT) in Patients With Previously Untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (CLL/SLL)

Обзор

This phase II trial tests the safety, side effects and how well giving tafasitamab with acalabrutinib and venetoclax works for the treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small cell lymphoma (SLL). A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Tafasitamab is a monoclonal antibody that binds to CD19 antigen which is found on the surface of most B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some lymphoma cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Acalabrutinib is in a class of medications called kinase inhibitors. It blocks a protein called BTK, which is present on B-cell (a type of white blood cells) cancers such as mantle cell lymphoma at abnormal levels. This may help keep cancer cells from growing and spreading. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Giving tafasitamab with acalabrutinib and venetoclax may be safe and effective for treating patients with CLL/SLL.

Подробное описание

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of tafasitamab in combination with acalabrutinib and venetoclax, as assessed by unacceptable toxicity, in patients with previously untreated CLL/SLL. (Safety lead-in) II. To evaluate efficacy of tafasitamab in combination with acalabrutinib and venetoclax, as assessed by complete response (CR) with undetectable minimal residual disease (MRD) by flow cytometry in peripheral blood, in patients with previously untreated CLL/SLL. (Phase 2)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of tafasitamab in combination with acalabrutinib and venetoclax, as assessed by all toxicities.

II. To evaluate efficacy of tafasitamab in combination with acalabrutinib and venetoclax, as assessed by overall response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), duration of response (DOR) and overall survival (OS).

EXPLORATORY OBJECTIVES:

I. To evaluate MRD status in the bone marrow by flow cytometry and by Clonoseq in patients with previously untreated CLL/SLL treated with tafasitamab in combination with acalabrutinib and venetoclax.

II. To explore the association between the potential risk factors (including IGHV mutation, del17p/TP53 mutation, complex cytogenetics) and the clinical outcomes in patients with previously untreated CLL/SLL treated with tafasitamab in combination with acalabrutinib and venetoclax.

OUTLINE:

CYCLES 1 AND 2: Patients receive acalabrutinib orally (PO) twice daily (BID) on days 1-28 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

CYCLES 3-5: Patients receive acalabrutinib PO BID, venetoclax PO once daily (QD) on days 1-28, and tafasitamab intravenously (IV) over 1.5-2.5 hours on days 1, 8, 15 and 22 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

CYCLES 6-8: Patients receive acalabrutinib PO BID, venetoclax PO QD on days 1-28, and tafasitamab IV over 1.5-2.5 hours on days 1 and 15 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

CYCLES 9-14: Patients receive acalabrutinib PO BID and venetoclax PO QD on days 1-28 and tafasitamab IV over 1.5-2.5 hours on day 1 of each cycle. Cycles repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

Patients undergo urine sample collection and bone marrow biopsy at screening, as well as computed tomography (CT) scan or positron emission tomography (PET)-CT scan and blood sample collection throughout the study.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months until progressive disease, then every 6 months, up to 3 years.

• If seropositive for HIV, hepatitis C virus (HCV) or hepatitis B virus (HBV), nucleic acid quantitation must be performed. Viral load must be undetectable. HIV-infected patients on active anti-retroviral therapy with undetectable viral load within 6 months are eligible for this trial
• Women of childbearing potential (WOCBP): negative urine or serum pregnancy test. If the urine test is positive or cannot be confirmed as negative, a serum pregnancy test will be required
• Agreement by females and males of childbearing potential\* to use an effective method of birth control or abstain from heterosexual activity for the course of the study and after completion of study treatment as described below separately for males and females.

• Female participants must remain abstinent or use contraceptive methods with a failure rate of < 1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 2 days after the final dose of acalabrutinib, 30 days after the last dose of venetoclax, and 3 months after the final dose of tafasitamab, whichever is longer. Women must refrain from donating eggs during this same period.

• Examples of contraceptive methods with a failure rate of < 1% per year include bilateral tubal ligation, male sterilization, hormonal contraceptives that inhibit ovulation, hormone-releasing intrauterine devices, and copper intrauterine devices.
• Hormonal contraceptive methods must be supplemented by a barrier method.
• For male participants: agreement to remain abstinent (refrain from heterosexual intercourse) or use contraceptive methods, and agree to refrain from donating sperm, as defined below:

• With a female partner of childbearing potential or pregnant female partners, male participants must remain abstinent or use a condom plus an additional contraceptive method that together result in a failure rate of < 1% per year during the treatment period and for at least 2 days after the final dose of acalabrutinib, 90 days after the last dose of venetoclax, and 3 months after the final dose of tafasitamab, whichever is longer. Male participants must refrain from donating sperm during this same period.
• The reliability of sexual abstinence should be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the individual. Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not adequate methods of contraception.
• A woman is considered of childbearing potential, ie, fertile, following menarche and until becoming postmenopausal unless permanently sterile. Permanent sterilization methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, and bilateral oophorectomy. Contraception methods include the following:

• Combined (estrogen- and progestogen- containing) hormonal contraception associated with the inhibition of ovulation

• Oral, intravaginal, or transdermal
• Progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with the inhibition of ovulation

• Oral, injectable, implantable
• An intrauterine device
• Intrauterine hormone-releasing system
• Bilateral tubal occlusion Vasectomized partner (provided that the vasectomized partner is the sole sexual partner of the woman of childbearing potential study participant and that the vasectomized partner has received medical assessment of surgical success)
• Sexual abstinence (defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study treatment, starting the day prior to first dose of study drug, for the duration of the study, and for ≥ 90 days after the last dose of zanubrutinib or ibrutinib. Total sexual abstinence should only be used as a contraceptive method if it is in line with the patients' usual and preferred lifestyle. Of note, barrier contraception (including male and female condoms with or without spermicide) is not considered a highly effective method of contraception, and, if used, this method must be used in combination with another acceptable method listed above. If patient is using hormonal contraceptives such as birth control pills or devices, a barrier method of contraception (eg, condoms) must also be used. A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high follicle-stimulating hormone level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single follicle-stimulating hormone measurement is insufficient
