Biological: Axicabtagene Ciloleucel
Biological: Utomilumab
Registration Number
NCT03704298
Lead Sponsor
Kite, A Gilead Company
Brief Summary

The primary objectives of this study are:

Phase 1: To evaluate the safety of axicabtagene ciloleucel in combination with utomilumab and to identify the most appropriate dose and timing of utomilumab to carry forward into Phase 2

Phase 2: To evaluate the efficacy of axicabtagene ciloleucel and utomilumab as measured by complete response rate in participants with refractory large B-cell lymphoma

Detailed Description

This study was intended to be a Phase 1/2. Enrollment was stopped prior to completion of Phase 1 portion of the study based on the sponsor's decision to end the program. No participants were enrolled in Phase 1 Cohort 5 and Phase 2.

After the study ends, participants who received an infusion of axicabtagene ciloleucel and utomilumab will complete the remainder of the 15-year follow-up assessments in a separate Long-term Follow-up study, KT-US-982-5968 (NCT05041309).

Phase 1 and Phase 2: Objective Response Rate (ORR)From first infusion date of axicabtagene ciloleucel until first occurrence of CR or PR (maximum duration: 42.6 months)

ORR: Percentage of participants with CR \[CMR;CRR\] or PR \[partial metabolic response (PMR); partial radiologic response (PRR)\].CMR: PET 5PS scores of 1 (no uptake above background, 2 (uptake ≤ mediastinum), 3 (uptake\>mediastinum but ≤ liver) with/without a residual mass; no new lesions; no evidence of FDG-avid disease in BM. CRR: target nodes/nodal masses regressed to ≤1.5 cm in LDi; no extralymphatic sites of disease; absent NMLs;organ enlargement regress to normal; no new sites; bone marrow morphology normal. PMR: scores 4 (uptake moderately \> liver),5 (uptake markedly \> liver, new lesions) with reduced uptake compared with baseline and residual mass; no new lesions; responding disease at interim/residual disease at end of treatment (EOT).PRR: ≥ 50% decrease in sum of the product of perpendicular diameters (SPD) of up to 6 target measurable nodes and extra-nodal sites;absent/normal, regressed, but no increase of NMLs; spleen regressed by \> 50% in length beyond normal; no new sites.

Phase 1 and Phase 2: Percentage of Participants Experiencing Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs)From first dose up to 30 days post last dose (maximum duration: 23.0 months)

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant in a clinical trial participant, which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. TEAEs were defined as any worsening of a pre-existing medical condition that occurred on or after axicabtagene ciloleucel infusion or any AE with onset on or after axicabtagene ciloleucel infusion.

Phase 1 and Phase 2: Duration of Response (DOR)From first documentation of CR or PR until first occurrence of PD or death from any cause or up to last date known alive in the study (maximum duration: 42.6 months)

DOR is time from first objective response (OR) to disease progression (PD)/death from any cause/up to last date known alive in the study. PD:score 4(uptake moderately\>liver)/5(uptake markedly\>liver and/or new lesions) with increase in intensity of uptake from baseline; new fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-avid foci consistent with lymphoma at interim/EOT assessment; new FDG-avid foci consistent with lymphoma rather than another etiology; new/recurrent FDG-avid foci in bone marrow; an individual node/lesion must be abnormal with: LDi \>1.5 cm, increase by ≥50% from cross-product of LDi and perpendicular diameter (PPD) nadir, increase in LDi/shortest axis perpendicular to LDi from nadir, splenic length must increase by \>50% of extent of its prior increase beyond baseline. If no prior splenomegaly, increase must be ≥2 cm from baseline; new/recurrent splenomegaly; new or clear progression of pre-existing NMLs; new lesion; new/recurrent bone marrow involvement. OR is defined in outcome measure 3.

Phase 1 and Phase 2: Progression Free Survival (PFS)From first infusion date of axicabtagene ciloleucel to the date of PD or death from any cause or up to last date known alive in the study (maximum duration: 43.5 months)

PFS is defined as the time from the axicabtagene ciloleucel infusion date to the date of PD per Lugano classification or death from any cause or up to last date known alive in the study. PD is defined in outcome measure 4.
