Brief Summary

This is a prospective, multicenter, single arm, phase II trial in young patients (18-60 years) with poor-prognosis (aaIPI 2 or 3) newly diagnosed Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL).

Aim of the study is to assess the efficacy and the safety of G-CHOP in combination with ibrutinib.

Detailed Description

This is a prospective, multicenter, single arm, phase II trial in young patients (18-60 years) with poor-prognosis (age-adjusted International Prognostic Index, aaIPI, 2 or 3) newly diagnosed Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL).

Patient will receive 6 courses of G-CHOP21 (Obimutizumab- cyclophosphamide, hydroxydaunomycin, Oncovin, and prednisone) followed by 2 doses of Obinutuzumab supplemented with Ibrutinib. Duration of treatment will be 5 months plus 4-5 weeks for response evaluation.

During the study, disease status will be evaluated after the 4th cycle by computed tomography (CT) scan, and after end of treatment by imaging test (18FDG-PET \[positron emission tomography\] and CT scan).

Patients will be recruited over 2 years and followed for a minimum of 2 years after the end of the treatment phase.

  • Age adjusted IPI=2-3
  • Ann Arbor stage II-IV disease
  • Measurable disease ≥ 1.5 cm in longest diameter, and measurable in 2 perpendicular dimensions
  • Normal blood count as defined as: absolute neutrophil count ≥1.0 × 109/L independent of growth factor support, platelet count ≥ 100,000/mm3 or ≥50,000/mm3 if bone marrow (BM) involvement independent of transfusion support in either situation
  • Normal organ functions defined as: creatinine ≤2 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) or estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (Cockroft- Gault) ≥40 ml/min/1.73m2, aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤3× the ULN; total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × the ULN unless bilirubin rise is due to Gilbert's syndrome or of nonhepatic origin: patients with documented Gilbert disease may be enrolled if total bilirubin is ≤ 3.0 × the ULN; International normalized ratio (INR) < 1.5 × the ULN in the absence of therapeutic anticoagulation; partial thromboplastin time (PTT) or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) < 1.5 × the ULN in the absence of a lupus anticoagulant"
  • Patients with occult or prior hepatitis B infection (defined as HBsAg negative, anti-HBs positive and /or anti-HBc positive) may be included if hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA is undetectable. These patients must be willing to undergo bi-monthly DNA testing and they should receive prophylaxis with Lamivudine
  • No active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection
  • Known availability of biopsy material
  • No Central Nervous System (CNS) disease (meningeal and/or brain involvement by lymphoma)
  • Absence of active infections
  • Non peripheral neuropathy or active neurological non neoplastic disease of CNS
  • Non major surgical intervention prior 3 months to enrolment if not due to lymphoma and/or not other disease life-threatening that can compromise chemotherapy treatment
  • Patient with a history of curatively treated basal or squamous cell carcinoma or melanoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of the cervix at any time prior to the study.
  • Patients with any other malignancy that has been treated with surgery alone with curative intent and the malignancy has been in remission without treatment for at least 5 years prior to enrolment.
  • Women of childbearing potential and men who are sexually active must be practicing a highly effective method of birth control during and after the study consistent with local regulations regarding the use of birth control methods for subjects participating in clinical trials. Men must agree to not donate sperm during and after the study. For females, these restrictions apply for 6 months after the last dose of study drug. For males, these restrictions apply for 6 months after the last dose of study drug.
  • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum (betahuman chorionic gonadotropin [β-hCG]) or urine pregnancy test at Screening. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are ineligible for this study.
  • Life expectancy > 6 months
  • Sign (or their legally-acceptable representatives must sign) an informed consent document indicating that they understand the purpose of and procedures required for the study and are willing to participate in the study.

  • History of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within the past 6 months.
  • Requires anticoagulation with warfarin or equivalent vitamin K antagonists
  • Requires treatment with strong CYP3A inhibitors
  • History of clinically relevant liver or renal insufficiency; significant cardiac, vascular, pulmonary, gastrointestinal, endocrine, neurologic, rheumatologic, hematologic, psychiatric, or metabolic disturbances
  • Clinically significant cardiovascular disease such as uncontrolled or symptomatic arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, or myocardial infarction within 6 months of Screening, or any Class 3 (moderate) or Class 4 (severe) cardiac disease as defined by the New York Heart Association Functional Classification.
