Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is evaluating the safety, pharmacodynamics (PD), and efficacy of acalabrutinib and pembrolizumab in hematologic malignancies.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a Phase 1b/2, open-label, nonrandomized study that will be conducted in 2 stages. In the first stage, Part 1 of the study will determine the safety and preliminary efficacy of acalabrutinib and pembrolizumab in a limited group of B-cell malignancies. In the second stage, Part 2 allows for possible expansion cohorts into a wider range of B-cell malignancies, and Part 3 will evaluate the combination in subjects with myelofibrosis (MF).

Acalabrutinib plus Pembrolizumab

A nonrandomized study that will be conducted in 2 stages. In the first stage, (Safety), subjects will receive Acalabrutinib Dose A orally administered (PO) twice daily (BID) in combination with Pembrolizumab Dose B administered every 3 weeks (Q3W).

The second stage was an expansion of Cohorts with the same dose regimen as the first stage. An additional expansion in subjects with Myelofibrosis was planned but not conducted.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Diagnosis of a hematologic malignancy as documented by medical records and with histology based on criteria established by the World Health Organization (WHO).
* Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≤ 1.
* Agreement to use contraception during the study and for 90 days after the last dose of ACP-196 or 120 days after the last dose of pembrolizumab, if sexually active and able to bear or beget children.
* Completion of all therapy (including surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or investigational therapy) for the treatment of cancer ≥ 4 weeks before the start of study therapy.
* ANC ≥ 0.5 x 10\^9/L or platelet count ≥ 50 x 10\^9/L unless due to disease involvement in the bone marrow.

Exclusion Criteria

* A life-threatening illness, medical condition or organ system dysfunction which, in the investigator's opinion, could compromise the subject's safety, interfere with the absorption or metabolism of study drugs, or put the study outcomes at undue risk.
* Central nervous system (CNS) involvement by lymphoma/leukemia
* Any therapeutic antibody within 4 weeks of first dose of study drugs.
* Total bilirubin \> 1.5 x ULN; and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \> 3.0 x ULN.
* Estimated creatinine clearance of \< 30 mL/min, calculated using the formula of Cockcroft and Gault (140-Age) • Mass (kg)/(72 • creatinine mg/dL); multiply by 0.85 if female.
