Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of HLX01 Versus Mabthera in Patients With Low Tumour Burden Follicular Lymphoma.

Phase 3

Withdrawn

• Conditions: CD20-positive Follicular Lymphoma, With Low Tumour Burden
• Interventions: Drug: HLX01; Drug: Mabthera®

• Registration Number: NCT04671420
• Lead Sponsor: Shanghai Henlius Biotech

Brief Summary

The study is a Phase 3 multi-centre, randomised, double-blind, parallel-arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of HLX01 versus European Union (EU)-sourced Mabthera® as first line treatment in patients with low tumour burden FL.

The study will consist of a Screening Period (up to 42 days), Treatment Period (Week 1 to Week 44/Month 11), and End of Study (EOS; Month 12 Visit). Approximately 212 patients (106 in each treatment group) will be enrolled.

Utilising a 1-sided 97.5% CI for the risk difference, a reference proportion of 83.2% for Mabthera®, delta for non-inferiority of -17%, and assuming a true difference of 1%, a sample size of 106 patients per arm (212 total) provides approximately 85% power to show non-inferiority of HLX01 to Mabthera® on a primary endpoint of risk difference in ORR up to Week 28. No dropout is included, as all patients will either have data provided for ORR (based on best response), or will be classed as non-responder.

7. History of another malignancy within 2 years of screening, with the exception of curatively treated non-melanoma skin cancer, carcinoma in situ of the uterine cervix, breast or bladder, localised prostate cancer stage T1c or less - and provided that the patient remains relapse free
8. Major surgery within 28 days of the first dose of study drug infusion (excluding lymph node biopsy)
9. Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection (Serological test for HIV should be performed at screen unless prohibited by local regulations)
10. Active and/or severe infections, including any ongoing infection requiring IV anti microbial treatment
11. Have a current diagnosis of active tuberculosis
12. Active HBV and a positive serological test for HBV (except seropositive due to HBV vaccination) or hepatitis C virus (HCV)
13. Ongoing immunosuppressant treatment; corticosteroid treatment exceeding 20 mg/day prednisone or equivalent within 7 days of the first dose of study drug infusion
14. Known hypersensitivity or allergy to the active principle and/or formulations' ingredients; history of severe allergy or anaphylaxis to murine or biologic agents
15. Live or live attenuated vaccine within 28 days of the first dose of study drug infusion
16. History of significant cardiac or vascular disease including, but not limited to: history of stroke, unstable angina, myocardial infarction or ventricular arrhythmia requiring medication or mechanical control within 6 months before randomisation; congestive heart failure according to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) Functional Classification class III or IV
