NCT ID: NCT02406742

Last Updated: 2021-09-20

Basic Information

• Recruitment Status: COMPLETED
• Clinical Phase: PHASE1/PHASE2
• Total Enrollment: 47 participants
• Study Classification: INTERVENTIONAL

• Study Completion Date: 2020-07-07

Brief Summary

Safety, pharmacokinetics, and preliminary efficacy of CC-122 alone and in combination with ibrutinib and obinuzutumab.

CC-122 has multiple activities, including immune modulation of several immune cell subsets and antiproliferative activity in CLL. CC-122 has also been shown to have a tolerable safety profile with some preliminary signs of efficacy with early human experience.

Detailed Description

The primary objectives of this Phase 1/2 Study are to determine the safety of single agent CC-122 and the safety, tolerability, and RP2D of CC-122 when administered in combination with ibrutinib and in combination with obinutuzumab to subjects with CLL/SLL. The secondary objectives are to evaluate the PK profiles of subjects administered CC-122 in combination with ibrutinib and in combination with obinutuzumab, to determine ibrutinib concentrations when given alone and in combination with CC-122 and to evaluate the preliminary efficacy of CC-122 at selected dose levels/regimens.

Study Groups

CC-122 Single Agent

An intrasubject dose escalation design was selected to determine the safety of single agent CC-122 (Arm A) in order to reach an optimal, clinically active dose and to mitigate the risk of early tumor flare reactions, based on earlier experience with lenalidomide monotherapy in CLL.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

CC-122

Intervention Type: DRUG

CC-122 will be administered daily starting at Cycle 1 Day 1 in 28-day cycles until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or discontinuation for any other reason.

CC-122 in combination with ibrutinib

Ascending fixed dose cohorts evaluated in a 3 + 3 dose-finding design will be used to determine the safety and tolerability of the combination of CC-122 and ibrutinib to determine the NTD, MTD, and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D). An intrasubject dose escalation cohort may also be evaluated at the discretion of the Safety Review Committee. The RP2D of the combination may be evaluated in ibrutinib-naïve and high-risk CLL patients in the dose expansion phase to continue to evalute safety and efficacy.

Ibrutinib

Intervention Type: DRUG

CC-122 in combination with obinutuzumab

Ascending fixed dose cohorts evaluated in a 3 + 3 dose-finding design will be used to determine the safety and tolerability of the combination of CC-122 and obinutuzumab to determine the , MTD, and Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D). An intrasubject dose escalation cohort may also be evaluated at the discretion of the Safety Review Committee.. The RP2D of the combination may be evaluated in CLL patients who failed a B-cell receptor pathway inhibitor or venetoclax in the dose expansion phase to continue to evalute safety and efficacy.

Group Type: EXPERIMENTAL

CC-122

Intervention Type: DRUG

CC-122 will be administered daily starting at Cycle 1 Day 1 in 28-day cycles until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or discontinuation for any other reason.

Obinutuzumab

Intervention Type: DRUG

Obinutuzumab will be administered as an intravenous (IV) infusion at a dose of 100 mg on Cycle 1 Day 1 and 900 mg on Cycle 1 Day 2 and 1000 mg on Cycle 1 Days 8 and 15. The dose of obinutuzumab on Days 1 and 2 of Cycle 1 may be adjusted per institutional practice as long as the combined dose equals 1000 mg. Obinutuzumab will be administered at a dose of 1000 mg on Day 1 of Cycles 2 through 6.

i. Rapid disease progression is defined as follows:

1. For subjects with measurable nodal disease, the increase in the sum of diameters of the largest lymph nodes (up to 3 nodes) exceeds

1 cm per day OR the diameter of the largest lymph node exceeds 5 cm during the 5 day wash out. 2. For subjects with lymphocytosis, the increase in the ALC exceeds 2x109/L per day OR the ALC exceeds 100,000 x109/L during the 5-day wash out; b. Arm C: No minimum washout is required after discontinuation of ibrutinib (or other BTK inhibitors) c.
