Acalabrutinib in Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia With Direct Oral Anticoagulation (CICERO)

Active, not recruiting
Conditions
CLL
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT05517265
Lead Sponsor
iOMEDICO AG
Brief Summary

The goal of CICERO is to investigate the clinical outcome with a particular focus on prospective data on safety using acalabrutinib (+/- obinutuzumab) in CLL patients receiving co-medication with DOACs (edoxaban, rivaroxaban, dabigatran, apixaban) irrespective of treatment line.

Detailed Description

The non-interventional study (NIS) CICERO will collect real-world data to explore acalabrutinib (+/- obinutuzumab) in adult CLL patients (irrespective of treatment line) who receive co-medication with DOACs. The primary focus of the study is to investigate the incidence proportion of bleeding events. Due to the mostly elderly CLL patient population, CLL patients often suffer from multiple cardiovascular comorbidities including atrial fibrillation (AF), deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) which make anticoagulation mandatory.

Up to now, no systematic and prospective evaluation on interactions of BTKis and DOACs has been conducted.

In Order to assess bleeding events, a questionnaire will be used to document if bleeding events occurred in-between visits in routine care. Patients will be asked at each visit if distinct events occurred in the time between the last visit until the current visit and discuss the questionnaire with the physician to determine of any (S)AE occurred until end of acalabrutinib treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence proportion of patients with major bleeding event according to Schulman et al.Baseline until end of acalabrutinib treatment (+ 30 days safety follow-up); up to 41 months

Bleeding event is defined as major according to Schulmann et al., if it is fatal (contributes to death) and/or symptomatic in a critical area or organ (such as intracranial, intraspinal, intraocular, retroperitoneal, intraarticular or pericardial, or intramuscular with compartment syndrome) and/or causing a decrease in hemoglobin of 2 g/dL (1.24 mmol/l) or more or requires a transfusion of 2 or more units of whole blood or red blood cells.

Incidence proportion (cumulative incidence) is calculated as the number of patients with bleeding event while on treatment (+30 days safety follow-up), divided by the number of patients in the full analysis population.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Patient safety in terms of interactions with effectiveness of DOACBaseline, up to 41 months

Rate of any new or recurrent ischemic stroke or arterial systemic embolism or venous thromboembolic events.

Incidence proportion of major bleeding according to Ghia et al.Baseline, up to 41 months

Major bleeding according to Ghia et al. is defined as any serious OR grade ≥3 hemorrhage OR central nervous system (CNS) hemorrhage of any grade, excluding immune thrombocytopenic purpura.

Time to first Occurrence of major bleeding eventsBaseline, up to 41 months

Time to first occurrence of major (according to Schulman et al.) bleeding events.

Incidence proportion of central nervous system (CNS) bleeding eventsBaseline, up to 41 months

Frequencies of patients with CNS bleeding events.

Patient safety regarding mortalityBaseline, up to 41 months

Mortality from all causes during acalabrutinib therapy.

VTE (venous thromboembolism)-related deathBaseline, up to 41 months

Incidence proportion of VTE-related death.

Incidence proportion of clinically relevant non-major (CRNM) bleeding eventsBaseline, up to 41 months

CRNM bleeding is defined as bleeding that does not meet the criteria for major bleeding according to Schulman et al. but is associated with the need for medical intervention and/or personal contact with a physician and/or hospitalization or increase in level of care.

Major (according to Schulman et al.) and/or CRNM bleeding events.Baseline, up to 41 months

Incidence proportion of major (according to Schulman et al.) and/or CRNM bleeding events.

Any bleeding event.Baseline, up to 41 months

Incidence proportion of any bleeding event.

Overall response rate (ORR)Baseline, up to 41 months

ORR is defined as proportion of patients with any response (partial or complete remission) overall.

Progression-free survival (PFS)Baseline, up to 41 months

Time from start of acalabrutinib to occurrence of progressive disease or death from any cause, whichever comes first.

Overall survival (OS)Baseline, up to 41 months

OS is defined as time from first administration of acalabrutinib to death from any cause.
