Phase 1
Terminated
Conditions
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)

Registration Number
NCT03400176
Lead Sponsor
Novartis Pharmaceuticals
Brief Summary

Patients enrolled to the study had chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and received ibrutinib. Patients had either received ibrutinib for one year without having had a complete response or patients developed a resistance mutation to ibrutinib. This study had two parts, a dose escalation part and a dose expansion part.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Dose Intensity of IbrutinibUp to 8.5 months

Dose intensity of ibrutinib was calculated as: Actual Cumulative dose (mg) / (Duration of exposure in days)

Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) in Cycle 1 (Escalation Only)28 days

A dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) is defined as an adverse event or abnormal laboratory value of Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) grade ≥ 3 assessed as unrelated to disease, disease progression, inter-current illness or concomitant medications that occurs within the first 28 days of treatment with the combination of VAY736 and ibrutinib and meets the criteria defined in the study protocol. Other clinically significant toxicities may be considered to be DLTs, even if not CTCAE grade 3 or higher.

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)From first dose of study treatment up to 30 days after the last dose of VAY736, up to approximately 8.8 months

Number of participants with AEs (any AE regardless of seriousness) and SAEs, including changes from baseline in vital signs, electrocardiograms and laboratory results qualifying and reported as AEs.

AE grades to characterize the severity of the AEs were based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03. For CTCAE v4.03, Grade 1 = mild; Grade 2 = moderate; Grade 3 = severe; Grade 4 = life-threatening; Grade 5 = death related to AE.

All patients were followed for a 30-day safety follow-up period subsequent to completion of VAY736 therapy. No new AEs or SAEs were collected beyond the 30-day safety follow-up or during the efficacy follow up period.

Number of Participants With Dose Reductions and Dose Interruptions of VAY736Up to 7.8 months

For patients who did not tolerate the protocol-specified dosing schedule of the study drugs, dose adjustments could be permitted in order to allow the patient to continue study treatment.

Number of Participants With Dose Reductions and Dose Interruptions of IbrutinibUp to 8.5 months

For patients who did not tolerate the protocol-specified dosing schedule of the study drugs, dose adjustments could be permitted in order to allow the patient to continue study treatment.

Dose Intensity of VAY736Up to 7.8 months

Dose intensity of VAY736 was calculated as: Actual Cumulative dose (mg/kg) / (Duration of exposure in weeks/2)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
CR or CRi Rate at C9 for Expansion Arm A and Arm B by Investigator Per IWCLLCycle 9 Day 1 (C9). The duration of each cycle was 28 days.

Percentage of participants with Complete Response (CR) or Complete Response with Incomplete Marrow Recovery (CRi) by investigator assessment per International Working Group - Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) response criteria.

Posterior Mean of CR or CRi Response Rate at C9 for Expansion Arm A and Arm B (Bayesian Analysis)Cycle 9 Day 1 (C9). The duration of each cycle was 28 days.

The rate of CR/CRi at C9 was analyzed for each expansion arm using a Bayesian modeling approach.

A minimally informative beta distribution was used as prior distribution with parameters a=0.25 and b=1. This assumed, a priori, that the response rate was 20%.

Values estimated from the model at Cycle 9 are presented in the table. Posterior geometric mean for CR/CRi rate and 90% credible intervals in each group are presented.

Posterior Probability That the True CR or CRi Response Rate at C9 for Expansion Arm A and Arm B Falls in Pre-defined Activity Intervals (Bayesian Analysis)Cycle 9 Day 1 (C9). The duration of each cycle was 28 days.

The rate of CR/CRi at C9 was analyzed for each expansion arm using a Bayesian modeling approach.

A minimally informative beta distribution was used as prior distribution with parameters a=0.25 and b=1. This assumed, a priori, that the response rate was 20%.

Values estimated from the model at Cycle 9 are presented in the table. The posterior probability that the true CR/CRi rate falls in the activity intervals defined below is presented:

* \[0, 20%) - clinically not meaningful

* \[20%, 40%) - moderate clinical benefit

* \[40%, 100%\] - superior clinical benefit

Overall Response Rate (ORR) Assessed by Investigator Per IWCLL in the Dose Escalation PartUp to approximately 2.5 years

Efficacy was based on local investigator assessment per International Working Group - Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) response criteria.
