An Extension Study for Patients Previously Enrolled in Studies With Pelabresib

Phase 3

Recruiting

• Conditions: Hematologic Malignancy; Solid Tumor; Advanced Malignancies
• Interventions: Drug: Pelabresib

• Registration Number: NCT06401356
• Lead Sponsor: Novartis Pharmaceuticals

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and the clinical benefit of pelabresib in patients with hematological and/or solid tumor indications or advanced malignancies. Additionally, participants previously enrolled in studies with pelabresib who received placebo or participants who discontinued pelabresib (for any other reason than participating in this extension study), may be enrolled in this extension study to evaluate the survival and leukemia-free survival (for patients with hematological malignancies) or only the Survival Follow-up (for all the other patients).

Detailed Description

The study will collect and monitor ongoing efficacy information with regard to disease and survival status, as well as safety information with regard to AEs, including SAEs and AEs of special interest (AESI).

Patients are eligible to continue pelabresib treatment as long as the regimen is tolerated, and the patient does not meet any of the discontinuation criteria.

There will be an eligibility check period of up to 28 days for this extension study. Patients who fulfill the inclusion and exclusion criteria are eligible for the study. After the patient willingly provides consent, eligibility will be assessed by the investigator and treatment with pelabresib can be started at the same dose and dosing schedule that was applied in the parent study in the last cycle prior to EOT unless there is need for dose adjustment due to toxicity.

A patient is considered to have completed the study after completion of all visits as defined in the Schedule of Assessments (SoA) as per protocol, including the Safety Follow-up visit and Survival Follow-up.

The Safety Follow-up period is the interval between the EOT visit and the scheduled Safety Follow-up visit, which should occur 30 days (±3 days) after the last dose of pelabresib. For patients who switch from investigational pelabresib to commercial pelabresib treatment, the Safety Follow-up period is the time from the last dose of investigational pelabresib until the first dose of commercial pelabresib. The treatment start date with commercial pelabresib will be considered the date of "early Safety Follow-up termination." All patients will be followed for AEs and SAEs for 30 days (±3 days) following the last dose of pelabresib on the extension study or until the initiation of a new anticancer therapy, whichever occurs first.

Reasonable efforts should be made to have the patient return for the Safety Follow-up visit and review any AEs that may occur during this period. If the patient cannot return to the site for the Safety Follow-up visit, then the patient should be contacted by telephone for assessment of AEs.

The end of study will occur when all parent studies have been closed with no further patients expected to be enrolled into the extension study, and the last patient in the extension study has permanently discontinued study treatment (investigational pelabresib) and has completed the Safety Follow-up visit or is designated as lost to follow-up, died, or has withdrawn consent, whichever comes first. The sponsor reserves the right to close a study site or terminate the study at any time for any reason at the sole discretion of the sponsor.

Pelabresib	Pelabresib	All eligible participants will receive continued treatment with pelabresib as administered in the relevant parent study. Participants previously enrolled in studies with pelabresib who discontinued treatment with placebo or pelabresib may be enrolled in this extension study for the purpose of survival follow-up.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Survival Follow-up	5 years	Survival Follow-up consists of Survival and Leukemia-Free Survival Follow-up. All participants in the extension study will be followed up for Survival, while participants with hematological malignancies will be followed up for Survival and Leukemia-Free Survival. In addition, participants who will not receive pelabresib treatment may enter this extension protocol to be only followed up for Survival.
Duration of Response (DoR)	5 years	DOR defined as the time from the date of first response to the date of confirmed disease progression
Progression-free survival (PFS)	5 years	PFS defined as the time from first dose to confirmed disease progression or death, whichever occurs first.
Leukemia-free survival (LFS)	5 years	LFS defined as the time from first dose to the date of leukemic transformation or death, whichever occurs first.
Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and serious TEAEs	5 years	To evaluate long-term safety in patients who are receiving pelabresib
