A Study to Compare the Efficacy and Safety of a Combined Regimen of Venetoclax and Obinutuzumab Versus Fludarabine, Cyclophosphamide, and Rituximab (FCR)/ Bendamustine And Rituximab (BR) in FIT Patients With Previously Untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) Without DEL (17P) or TP53 Mutation

NCT04285567

Description:

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of venetoclax and obinutuzumab (VEN + G) compared with fludarabine + cyclophosphamide + rituximab or bendamustine + rituximab (FCR/BR) in FIT participants (FIT is defined by a cumulative illness rating scale [CIRS]/score of ≤6 and a normal creatinine clearance of ≥70 mL/min) with previously untreated CLL without DEL(17P) or TP53 mutation requiring treatment. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive either VEN + G (Arm A) or FCR/BR (Arm B).

Measure:Change From Baseline in M.D. Anderson Symptom Inventory-CLL (MDASI-CLL) Score
Time Frame:Arm VEN + G: Day 1 of Cycle 1-12, Day 28 after treatment completion/early termination (TC/ET), follow up (FU) visits; Arm FCR/BR: Day 1 of Cycle 1-6, Day 28 after TC/ET, end of combination treatment response visit and FU visit (up to 46 months)
Safety Issue:
Description:The MDASI-CLL is a questionnaire of 25 items related to CLL specific symptoms that a participant may have experienced in the past 24 hours. Participants were asked to rate the severity of 13 symptoms called mean core symptom severity (i.e., pain, fatigue, nausea, disturbed sleep, distressed, shortness of breath, remembering things, lack of appetite, drowsy, dry mouth, sadness, vomiting, and numbness or tingling), 6 disease-specific symptoms called mean module symptom severity (night sweats, fevers and chills, lymph node swelling, diarrhea, easy bruising or bleeding, and constipation) and 6 mean interference on life questions (i.e., general activity, walking, work, mood, relations with other people, and enjoyment of life) on a scale from 0 to 10 with 0 indicating that the symptom is "not present" or "did not interfere" with the participant's activities and 10 indicating "as bad as you can imagine" or "interfered completely".
Measure:Change From Baseline in European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire Core-30 (EORTC QLQC-30)
Time Frame:Arm VEN + G: Day 1 of Cycle 1-12, Day 28 after treatment completion/early termination (TC/ET), follow up (FU) visits; Arm FCR/BR: Day 1 of Cycle 1-6, Day 28 after TC/ET, end of combination treatment response visit and FU visit (up to 46 months)
Safety Issue:
Description:The EORTC QLQ-C30 is a validated and reliable self-report measure consisting of 30 questions incorporated into five functional scales (physical, role, cognitive, emotional, and social scales), three symptom scales (fatigue, pain, nausea, and vomiting scales), and a global health status/global quality-of-life scale. The remaining single items (dyspnea, appetite loss, sleep disturbance, constipation, and diarrhea) assess the additional symptoms experienced by patients with cancer and the perceived financial burden of treatment. The 28 function and symptom items were scored on a 4-point scale that ranged from "not at all" to "very much," and the 2 global health status/global quality-of-life items were scored on a 7-point scale that ranged from "very poor" to "excellent." Raw average scale scores were linearly transformed to range 0-100 with higher scores indicating higher response levels (i.e., higher functioning, higher symptom severity).
Measure:Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Time Frame:Up to 28 days after last dose of study drug or until initiation of another anti-cancer therapy (up to 46 months)
