Trial Outcomes & Findings for GAUSS: A Study of Obinutuzumab (RO5072759) in Patients With Indolent Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NCT NCT00576758)

NCT ID: NCT00576758

Last Updated: 2014-08-19

Results Overview

Overall response was defined as Complete Response (CR), Complete Response/Unconfirmed (CRu) or Partial Response (PR) as assessed by investigator at end of induction treatment. Computed tomography imaging was used for the primary assessment of tumor response per 1999 criteria by Cheson. CR was defined as the disappearance of all clinical and radiographic evidence of disease, disease-related symptoms and normalization of biochemical abnormalities of NHL. CRu was CR plus one or more of the following: A residual lymph node mass greater than 1.5 cm in greatest transverse diameter that has regressed by more than 75% in the sum of the products of the greatest diameter (tumors)(SPD) and/or indeterminate bone marrow. PR was defined as 50% decrease in SPD of the 6 largest dominant nodes or nodal masses. No increase in the size of the other nodes, liver, or spleen. Splenic and hepatic nodules must regress by at least 50% in the SPD. No new sites of disease.

Rituximab
Participants received 375 mg/m\^2 rituximab IV infusion once a week on Days 1, 8, 15 and 22 in the Induction Period. 2 months following the last infusion, participants without disease progression were eligible to receive a 375 mg/m\^2 rituximab IV infusion once every two months for 2 years in the Extension Period. All participants received oral acetaminophen/ paracetamol (1000 mg) and an antihistamine such as diphenhydramine (50-100 mg), 30-60 minutes prior to each infusion.
Obinutuzumab
Participants received 1000 mg obinutuzumab intravenous (IV) infusion once a week on Days 1, 8, 15, and 22 in the Induction Period. 2 months following the last infusion, participants without disease progression, were eligible to receive a 1000 mg IV infusion every two months for 2 years in the Extension Period.

Population: Participants from the Intent-to-treat (ITT) population (all randomized participants) with follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) at the time of diagnosis.

Computed tomography imaging was used for the primary assessment of tumor response per 1999 criteria by Cheson. CR is defined as the disappearance of all clinical and radiographic evidence of disease, disease-related symptoms and normalization of biochemical abnormalities of NHL. All lymph nodes and nodal masses must have regressed to normal size. The spleen, if considered to be enlarged before therapy on the basis of a CT scan, must have regressed in size and must not be palpable on physical examination. Any macroscopic nodules in any organs detectable on imaging techniques should no longer be present. Other organs considered to be enlarged before therapy due to involvement by lymphoma, such as liver and kidneys, must have decreased in size. If the bone marrow was involved by lymphoma before treatment, the infiltrate must be cleared on repeat bone marrow aspirate and biopsy of the same site.

Timeframe: Randomization to Clinical cutoff: 07 March 2013 (Up to 43.2 months)

Population: ITT population included all randomized participants with follicular non-Hodgkin's lymphoma at the time of diagnosis. If no PFS even occurred, PFS was censored at the date of the last tumor assessment. If no tumor assessment was available patient was censored at the date of the first study drug administration.

PFS was defined as the time from randomization to the first occurrence of progression, relapse, or death from any cause as assessed by the Investigator. Progression was defined as a ≥ 50% increase from nadir in the SPD of any previously identified abnormal node and/or the appearance of any new lesion during or at the end of therapy. Relapse was defined as the appearance of any new lesion or increase by ≥ 50% in the size of previously involved sites and/or a ≥ 50% increase in greatest diameter of any previously identified node greater than 1 cm in its short axis or in the SPD of more than one node.

Event-free survival (EFS) was defined as the time between date of randomization and the date of disease progression/relapse, death, or start of a new anti-leukemic therapy. Progression was defined as a ≥ 50% increase from nadir in the SPD of any previously identified abnormal node and/or the appearance of any new lesion during or at the end of therapy.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Randomization to Clinical cutoff: 07 March 2013 (Up to 43.2 months)

Population: Participants from the ITT population (all randomized participants with follicular NHL at the time of diagnosis N=75/74\] with response. Patients with no documented progression after CR or PR will be censored at the last tumor assessment. If no assessment available patients will be censored at the first study drug.

Duration of Response was defined as the date the response, either Complete Response (CR) or Partial Response (PR), was first recorded until the date of Disease Progression or death due to any cause. Computed tomography imaging was used for the primary assessment of tumor response per 1999 criteria by Cheson. CR was defined as the disappearance of all clinical and radiographic evidence of disease, disease-related symptoms and normalization of biochemical abnormalities of NHL. PR was defined as 50% decrease in SPD of the 6 largest dominant nodes or nodal masses. No increase in the size of the other nodes, liver, or spleen. Splenic and hepatic nodules must regress by at least 50% in the SPD. No new sites of disease. Disease Progression was defined as a ≥ 50% increase from nadir in the SPD of any previously identified abnormal node and/or the appearance of any new lesion during or at the end of therapy.

The number of participants with B-cell recovery from End of Induction (treatment) Phase to 6 months of Follow-up is reported in two categories: Recovery with Progressive Disease (PD) or Recovery without PD. PD required one of the following: 50 % increase in the absolute number of circulating lymphocytes, Appearance of new palpable lymph nodes, 50 % increase in the longest diameter of any previous site of lymphadenopathy, 50 % increase in the enlargement of the liver and/or spleen or Transformation to a more aggressive histology.
