Efficacy and Safety of Idelalisib in Combination With Obinutuzumab Compared to Chlorambucil in Combination With Obinutuzumab for Previously Untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Phase 3
Terminated
Conditions
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01980875
Lead Sponsor
Gilead Sciences
Brief Summary

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of idelalisib with obinutuzumab versus the combination of chlorambucil and obinutuzumab on progression-free survival (PFS) in participants with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL).

An increased rate of deaths and serious adverse events (SAEs) among participants with front-line CLL and early-line indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL) treated with idelalisib in combination with standard therapies was observed by the independent data monitoring committee (DMC) during regular review of 3 Gilead Phase 3 studies. Gilead reviewed the unblinded data and terminated those studies in agreement with the DMC recommendation and in consultation with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). All front-line studies of idelalisib, including this study, were also terminated.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression-Free SurvivalUp to 11 months

Progression-free survival (PFS) is defined as the interval from randomization to the first documentation of definitive disease progression or death from any cause. Definitive disease progression is CLL progression based on standard criteria, excluding lymphocytosis alone. PFS was to be assessed by an independent review committee (IRC).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Complete Response RateUp to 11 months

Complete response rate is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve a confirmed complete response. Complete response rate was to be assessed by an IRC.

Overall SurvivalUp to 11 months

Overall survival is defined as the interval from randomization to death from any cause. Overall survival was to be assessed by an IRC.

Overall Response RateUp to 11 months

Overall response rate (ORR) is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve a confirmed complete or partial response. ORR was to be assessed by an IRC.

Nodal Response RateUp to 11 months

Nodal response rate is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve a 50% decrease from baseline in the sum of the products of the greatest perpendicular diameters of index lesions. Nodal response rate was to be assessed by an IRC.

Minimal Residual Disease Negativity Rate at Week 36Up to 11 months

Minimal residual disease (MRD) negativity rate is defined as the proportion of participants with MRD \< 10\^-4 assessed by flow cytometry in bone marrow at Week 36 after therapy initiation. For participants receiving the final dose of obinutuzumab after the original scheduled date, the MRD assessment was performed no less than 12 weeks after the last dose of obinutuzumab. MRD negativity rate was to be assessed by an IRC.
