Phase 1
Recruiting
Conditions
Relapsed/Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma
Richter's Syndrome
Treatment-naïve High Risk Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Interventions
Drug: rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone
Registration Number
NCT04623541
Lead Sponsor
Genmab
Brief Summary

The study is a global, multi-center safety and efficacy trial of epcoritamab, an antibody also known as EPKINLY™ and GEN3013 (DuoBody®-CD3xCD20). Epcoritamab will be tested either in

Relapsed/refractory (R/R) chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) as:

* Monotherapy, or

* Combination therapy:

* epcoritamab + venetoclax

* epcoritamab + pirtobrutinib

Treatment-naïve (TN) high risk (HR) (CLL):

• epcoritamab + pirtobrutinib

Combination therapy for Richter's Syndrome (RS):

* epcoritamab + lenalidomide

* epcoritamab + R-CHOP (i.e., rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin hydrochloride, vincristine \[Oncovin®\] and prednisone).

The study includes participants with R/R or TN HR CLL/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) and participants with RS.

The trial consists of two parts, a dose-escalation phase (phase Ib) and an expansion phase (phase II). Participants with RS are only included in the expansion phase.

Epcoritamab will be injected subcutaneously (under the skin). Standard-of-care and combination treatments (venetoclax, pirtobrutinib, lenalidomide, and R-CHOP) will be given either orally (by mouth) or intravenously (in a vein).

Study details include:

* Study duration will be up to 5 years after the last participant's first treatment in the trial.

* The treatment duration for each participant will be between 12 months (1 year) and 24 months (2 years), depending upon the treatment arm assigned.

* The visit frequency will be either weekly, every other week, or monthly, depending upon the part of the study.

All participants will receive active drug; no one will be given placebo.

Detailed Description

The purpose of the dose-escalation phase of the trial is to determine the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) and the maximum tolerated dose (MTD; if reached) as well as establish the safety profile of epcoritamab monotherapy and epcoritamab + venetoclax in participants with R/R CLL.

The purpose of the expansion phase is to assess and evaluate the preliminary efficacy, safety and tolerability profiles of epcoritamab monotherapy, epcoritamab + venetoclax and epcoritamab + pirtobrutinib at the RP2D for participants with R/R CLL, TN HR CLL and SLL. Along with this, epcoritamab monotherapy, epcoritamab + lenalidomide and epcoritamab + R-CHOP will be evaluated in participants with RS to assess their efficacy, safety and tolerability profiles.

The purpose of safety run-in phase for pirtobrutinib combination therapy is to evaluate the safety and tolerability profiles of pirtobrutinib in combination with epcoritamab.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Dose Escalation Phase and Safety Run-in (R/R CLL arm): Number of Participants with Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)During the first cycle for low dose cohorts (Cycle length = 28 days) and for high dose cohorts (Cycle length = 35 days)

DLT events were defined as clinically significant adverse events (AEs) or abnormal laboratory values assessed as unrelated to disease progression, underlying disease, intercurrent illness, or concomitant medications as assessed per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) criteria version 5.0.

Dose Escalation Phase and Safety Run-in: Number of Participants with Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)Up to 5 years
Dose Escalation Phase: Number of Participants with Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS), Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome (ICANS) and Clinical Tumor Lysis Syndrome (CTLS)Up to 5 years

CRS and ICANS will be graded based on American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) criteria. CTLS will be graded according to Cairo-Bishop criteria.

Expansion Phase: Overall Response Rate (ORR)Up to 5 years

R/R CLL participants will be assessed according to International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (iwCLL) criteria and the RS participants according to Lugano criteria. ORR based on the Lugano criteria is defined as the percentage of participants who achieve a response of PR or complete remission (CR), prior to initiation of subsequent therapy. The ORR based on the iwCLL criteria is defined as the percentage of participants who achieve a response of PR, CR with incomplete bone marrow recovery (CRi), or CR, prior to the initiation of subsequent therapy.
