Is Ibrutinib-related Atrial Fibrillation Dose Dependent

Not yet recruiting
Conditions
Hematological Malignancy
Atrial Fibrillation
Registration Number
NCT06224452
Lead Sponsor
University Hospital, Caen
Brief Summary

Ibrutinib, an oral inhibitor of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK), has recently revolutionized the treatment of various chronic B-cell malignancies and particularly chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Atrial fibrillation (AF) has early emerged as a cardiovascular adverse effect (CVAE) of ibrutinib but underlying mechanisms of IRAF are not fully understood.

While a dose-reduction or an interruption of ibrutinib is mentioned in the summary of product characteristics of ibrutinib, any beneficial effect on IRAF management of such a management is unclear.

The main aim of this study is to determine if IRAF is a dose-dependent CVAE in chronic B-cell malignancies patients by studying the association between ibrutinib dose and IRAF reporting in Vigibase®, the World Health Organization (WHO) pharmacovigilance database.

Detailed Description

Ibrutinib, an oral inhibitor of Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK), has recently revolutionized the treatment of various chronic B-cell malignancies and particularly chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Atrial fibrillation (AF) has early emerged as a cardiovascular adverse effect (CVAE) of ibrutinib. In phase 3 randomized clinical trials (RCT), ibrutinib exhibits a ≈4-fold increase-risk of AF compared with controls (pooled relative-risk (RR) 3.9; 95% confidence interval (CI): (2.0-7.5); p\<0.0001). The annualized incidence rate of ibrutinib-related AF (IRAF) reporting in clinical trials is estimated to 4.9 (95% CI: 2.9-8.3) per 100 person-years. IRAF risk persists throughout ibrutinib exposition and seems to be cumulative with the extension of follow-up and cardiac monitoring.

Underlying mechanisms of IRAF are not fully understood. Ibrutinib potently inhibits multiple off-target kinases at therapeutic concentrations.

While a dose-reduction or an interruption of ibrutinib is mentioned in the summary of product characteristics of ibrutinib, any beneficial effect on IRAF management of such a management is unclear.

The main aim of this study is to determine if IRAF is a dose-dependent CVAE in chronic B-cell malignancies patients by studying the association between ibrutinib dose and IRAF reporting in Vigibase®, the World Health Organization (WHO) pharmacovigilance database.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
to determine the influence of ibrutinib dosing on IRAF reporting. Results were expressed as 2-by2 comparisons against the lowest dosing regimen (140mg/day).Cases reported in the World Health Organization (WHO) of individual safety case reports to 26th July 2023

Disproportionality estimates will be perform using both univariate and multivariate analyses and a global p-value will measure the difference between dosing regimen

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Sensitivity analysis will also be performed regarding the influence of ibrutinib dosing on 2 dose-dependent ADRs (neutropenia and thrombocytopenia) reporting related to ibrutinib exposureCases reported in the World Health Organization (WHO) of individual safety case reports to 26th July 2023

Disproportionality estimates will be perform using univariate analysis and a global p-value will measure the difference between dosing regimen

Description of ibrutinib-related atrial fibrillation casesCases reported in the World Health Organization (WHO) of individual safety case reports to 26th July 2023

Clinical caracteristics of ibrutinib-related atrial fibrillation cases (sex, age, time to onset, hematological malignacy, coreported drugs, coreported adverse events)

To determine the influence of ibrutinib dosing on IRAF reporting according to the underlying chronic B-cell malignancy indication.Cases reported in the World Health Organization (WHO) of individual safety case reports to 26th July 2023

Disproportionality estimates will be perform using both univariate and multivariate analyses and a global p-value will measure the difference between dosing regimen

To determine if the time to IRAF onset is dependent of the ibrutinib dosing regimenCases reported in the World Health Organization (WHO) of individual safety case reports to 26th July 2023

We will use a linear regression to test if the association between ibrutinib-related atrial fibrillation reporting and time to onset is dependent of the dose regimen (the 140 mg/day ibrutinib dosing regimen will set as the reference)

To determine the influence of ibrutinib dosing on IRAF reporting after exclusion of IRAF cases containing concurrent anticoagulant and/or antiarrhythmic drugs, assuming this approach could exclude reports with history of AF preceding IRAF reportingCases reported in the World Health Organization (WHO) of individual safety case reports to 26th July 2023

Disproportionality estimates will be perform both univariate and multivariate analysesand a global p-value will measure the difference between dosing regimen
