Study of Copanlisib in Combination With Standard Immunochemotherapy in Relapsed Indolent Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (iNHL)

NCT02626455

Description:

The purpose of this study is to assess whether copanlisib in combination with standard immunochemotherapy (rituximab in combination with bendamustine [R-B] and rituximab in combination with a 4 drug combination of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone/prednisolone [R-CHOP]) is effective and safe, compared with placebo in combination with standard immunochemotherapy (R-B or R-CHOP) in patients with relapsed iNHL who have received at least one, but at most three, lines of treatment, including rituximab-based immunochemotherapy and alkylating agents.

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to assess whether copanlisib in combination with standard immunochemotherapy (rituximab in combination with bendamustine [R-B] and rituximab in combination with a 4 drug combination of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisone/prednisolone [R-CHOP]) is effective and safe, compared with placebo in combination with standard immunochemotherapy (R-B or R-CHOP) in patients with relapsed iNHL who have received at least one, but at most three, lines of treatment, including rituximab-based immunochemotherapy and alkylating agents.

Detailed Description

      Patients should be in need of and fit for immunochemotherapy and should not be resistant to
      rituximab (resistance defined as lack of response or progression within 6 months of the last
      date of rituximab administration, including rituximab, and/or rituximab biosimilars, and/or
      anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody).

      This study will be composed of two parts: Safety run-in and phase III part. The purpose of
      the safety run-in part of this study is to assess whether the drug being tested (copanlisib)
      in combination with standard immunochemotherapy (R-B or R-CHOP) is safe and at what dose
      level of the study drug (copanlisib - 45mg or 60 mg) patients are able to tolerate the study
      treatment combination. In addition to finding a safe and tolerable dose level for the phase
      III part of the study, efficacy will also be evaluated for patients that stay on the study
      treatment during the safety run-in. The phase III part of the study started with the
      determined recommended dose of copanlisib of 60 mg in combination with R-B.

      A maximum of 24 patients will take part in the safety run-in part of this study. In the phase
      III part approximately 520 patients will be randomly assigned to blinded treatment arms of
      copanlisib plus R-B or R-CHOP or placebo plus R-B or R-CHOP.

             prior lines of therapy, including rituximab, and/or rituximab biosimilars, and/or
             anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (e.g. obinutuzumab) -based immunochemotherapy and
             alkylating agents (if given concomitantly is considered one line of therapy). A
             previous regimen is defined as one of the following: at least 2 months of single-agent
             therapy (less than 2 months of therapy with single agent rituximab, or rituximab

             the case the patient responded to it); at least 2 consecutive cycles of
             polychemotherapy; autologous transplant; or radioimmunotherapy. Previous exposure to
             other PI3K Inhibitors (except copanlisib) is acceptable provided there is no

             response, or progression within 6 months of the last date of rituximab, or rituximab
             biosimilars, or anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody administration, including maintenance
