A Study of Nemtabrutinib vs Chemoimmunotherapy for Participants With Previously Untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (CLL/SLL) Without TP53 Aberrations (MK-1026-008, BELLWAVE-008)

Phase 3
Active, not recruiting
Conditions
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT05624554
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

Researchers are looking for new ways to treat people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). CLL and SLL are types of blood cancer. Researchers want to know if people who take nemtabrutinib compared to those who take the standard treatments in this study will live longer without their cancer growing, spreading or returning (progression free survival).

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Progression-Free Survival (PFS) per International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (iwCLL) Criteria 2018 as Assessed by Blinded Independent Central Review (BICR)Up to approximately 49 months

PFS is defined as the time from randomization to the first documented progressive disease (PD) or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first. PD is evaluated per International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (iwCLL) criteria 2018 as assessed by blinded independent central review (BICR).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Duration of Response (DOR) per iwCLL Criteria 2018 as Assessed by BICRUp to approximately 94 months

For participants who demonstrate a CR, CRi, nPR, or PR per iwCLL criteria as assessed by BICR, DOR is defined as the time from the first documented evidence of CR, CRi, nPR, or PR that led to response until disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever occurs first.

Objective Response Rate (ORR) per iwCLL Criteria 2018 as Assessed by BICRUp to approximately 36 months

ORR is defined as the percentage of participants with complete response (CR), complete response with an incomplete recovery of the participant's bone marrow (CRi), nodular partial response (nPR), or Partial response (PR), per iwCLL criteria 2018 as assessed by BICR.

Number of Participants Who Discontinue Study Treatment Due to an AEUp to approximately 94 months

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention.

Overall Survival (OS)Up to approximately 94 months

OS is defined as the time from randomization to death due to any cause.

Number of Participants Who Experience an Adverse Event (AE)Up to approximately 94 months

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention.
