Multicenter Study of Pacritinib Combined With Ibrutinib in Relapsed/Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (CLL/SLL)

Phase 1

Conditions
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Lymphoma, Small Lymphocytic

Registration Number
NCT02677948
Lead Sponsor
University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center
Brief Summary

This study combines two drugs in the treatment of relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). Investigators are proposing combining ibrutinib, an orally-administered, small molecule inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (FDA approved for the treatment of relapsed/refractory CLL), with pacritinib, a novel JAK2-FLT3 inhibitor that has shown activity in relapsed lymphoma, including CLL/SLL. Investigators will first demonstrate the safety and tolerability of Pacritinib when combined with Ibrutinib in a phase I study, which will help establish the MTD (Maximum Tolerated Dose)of Pacritinib when combined with Ibrutinib. Once the optimal dose of Pacritinib is established in the phase I setting, a phase II evaluation will seek to establish the efficacy of the combination of Pacritinib with Ibrutinib. Patients will receive continuous treatment until progressive disease and will be followed while on study treatment for a total of 2 years.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Then maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of Pacritinib when given in combination with Ibrutinib28 Days

DLTs (Dose Limiting Toxicities) occurring during the 1st cycle (first 28 days) of treatment with the combination of pacritinib and ibrutinib will be used for dose-escalation decisions. MTD is defined as the largest dose at which no more than 25% of patients experience a DLT.

The number of patients with a Complete Response (CR)2 Years Post Treatment

Patients will be followed for response from the date of initial treatment until 2 years post treatment. CR is defined as:

Lymphadenopathy - None ˃1.5 cm Hepatomegaly - None Splenomegaly - None Blood Lymphocytes - ˂ 4000/μL Bone Marrow - Normocellular, 30% lymphocytes, no B-lymphoid nodules. Platelet Count - ˃ 100,000/μL Hemoglobin - ˃ 11.0 g/dL Neutrophils - ˃ 1,500/μL
