A Study to Evaluate Safety, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics and Preliminary Efficacy of the Combination of Ibrutinib With Nivolumab in Participants With Hematologic Malignancies

NCT02329847

Description:

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and to establish the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for the combination of ibrutinib and nivolumab in participants with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), follicular cell lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Once the dose is optimized, the combination will be assessed for Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and preliminary efficacy, further safety in participants with CLL/SLL, FL or DLBCL and in participants with Richter syndrome.

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and to establish the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) for the combination of ibrutinib and nivolumab in participants with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), follicular cell lymphoma (FL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

Detailed Description

      This is an open-label study, which consists of Part A (Dose Optimization Cohorts) and Part B
      (Expansion Cohorts). Part A consists of two dose optimization cohorts (cohort A1 and cohort
      A2) will determine the RP2D for the combination based on safety, pharmacokinetic, and
      pharmacodynamic assessments in participants with relapsed/refractory CLL/SLL or B-cell
      non-Hodgkin lymphoma (B-NHL). Part B consists 3 participant populations to further evaluate
      the safety and clinical activity of ibrutinib in combination with nivolumab: Cohort B1
      (participants with CLL/SLL with del 17p or del 11q), Cohort B2 (participants with FL), Cohort
      B3 (participants with DLBCL) and Cohort B4 (participants with Richter syndrome). Part A and B
      will consist of Screening Period (28 days before enrollment), Treatment Period and Follow up
      Period (every 3 months until death or the end of study). Participants will receive nivolumab
      intravenously (Day 1 of every cycle) and ibrutinib orally once daily on a 14-day cycle.
      Efficacy will primarily be evaluated by International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic
      Leukemia (IWCLL) and International Working Group (IWG) for lymphoma guidelines. Participants'
      safety will be monitored throughout the study. Further exploration of
      pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic and biomarker information will be assessed throughout the
      trial.

Healthy Volunteers:No

Primary Outcome Measures

Measure:Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)
Time Frame:From signing of informed consent form (ICF) to end of the treatment (EOT) within 30 days after the last dose of study drug (Up to 4 years)
Safety Issue:
Description:An AE was any untoward medical event that occurs in a participant administered an investigational product, and it does not necessarily indicate only events with clear causal relationship with the relevant investigational product. An SAE was an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged in-patient hospitalization; life-threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure:Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Time Frame:Up to 4 years
Safety Issue:
Description:ORR is defined as the proportion of participants who achieve complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) per International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) 2008 or the Lugano Classification by Cheson 2014 over the course of the study.
Measure:Duration of Stable Disease
Time Frame:Up to 4 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Duration of stable disease is measured from the start of the treatment until the criteria for progression are met. Stable disease: not meeting criteria for complete response (CR), Complete Response with an Incomplete Marrow Recovery (Cri), Nodular Partial Response (nPR), Partial Response (PR), or progressive disease (PD).
Measure:Duration of response
Time Frame:Up to 4 years
Safety Issue:
Description:Duration of response will be calculated from the date of initial documentation of a response (CR, or PR) to the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease (or relapse for participants who experience CR during the study) or death. participants who are progression-free and alive or have unknown status will be censored at the last tumor assessment.
Measure:Progression-Free Survival (PFS)
Time Frame:From the date of first dose of study drug until disease progression or death, whichever occurred first, as assessed up to the last efficacy assessment for disease progression (Up to 4 years)
Safety Issue:
Description:PFS is defined as the duration from the date of first dose of study drug until the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease (or relapse for participants who experience CR during the study) or death, whichever comes first. Participants who are progression-free and alive or have unknown status will be censored at the last tumor assessment.
Measure:Overall survival
Time Frame:From the date of first dose of study drug until disease progression or death, whichever occurred first, as assessed up to the last efficacy assessment for disease progression (Up to 4 years)
Safety Issue:
Description:Overall survival is defined as the time interval in days between the date of first dose of study drug and the participant's death from any cause.
Measure:1-year Progression-Free Survival (PFS) Rate
Time Frame:1 year
Safety Issue:
Description:The 1-year PFS rate is defined as the percentage of participants surviving 1 year after first dose of study drug without disease progression or death.
Measure:Plasma and serum concentration of Ibrutinib and nivolumab
Time Frame:Up to 4 years
