Study of Tisagenlecleucel in Chinese Adult Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Diffuse Large B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (DLBCL)

Phase 2

Withdrawn

• Conditions: Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)
• Interventions: Biological: Tisagenlecleucel

• Registration Number: NCT04456023
• Lead Sponsor: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

Brief Summary

This is a multi-center, phase II study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CTL019 in Chinese adult patients with relapsed or refractory DLBCL.

Detailed Description

Disease assessments will be performed at screening, after bridging, 1, 3, 6, 9 and 12 months after tisagenlecleucel infusion, and every 6 months in the second year, and annually up to 60 months after infusion. Efficacy will be assessed until progression; safety will be assessed throughout the study. A long term follow-up up to 15 years after CTL019 infusion will continue under a separate protocol (CCTL019A2205B)(NCT02445222).

Duration of Response (DOR)	From first dosing (single administration, Day 1) up to End of Study Visit (EOS), an average of 60 Months	Time from CR or PR, whichever occurs first, to relapse or death due to DLBCL.
Time to response (TTR)	From first dosing (single administration, Day 1) up to End of Study Visit (EOS), an average of 60 Months	Time from tisagenlecleucel infusion to CR or PR, whichever occurs first.
Progression-Free Survival (PFS)	From first dosing (single administration, Day 1) up to End of Study Visit (EOS), an average of 60 Months	Time from tisagenlecleucel infusion to the first documented disease progression or death due to any cause.
Event free survival (EFS)	From first dosing (single administration, Day 1) up to End of Study Visit (EOS), an average of 60 Months	Time from tisagenlecleucel infusion to the first documented disease progression or relapse, new treatment for lymphoma or death due to any cause.
Number of Participants with On-Treatments Adverse Events, Serious Adverse Events, and Deaths	From first dosing (single administration, Day 1) up to End of Study Visit (EOS), an average of 60 Months	Analysis of absolute and relative frequencies for treatment emergent AE, SAE and Deaths by primary System Organ Class (SOC) through the monitoring of relevant clinical and laboratory safety parameters.
Tisagenlecleucel immunogenicity (humoral)	Up to Month 60	The humoral immunogenicity assay will be evaluated to measure the antibody titers specific to the tisagenlecleucel molecule prior to and following infusion.
