Brief Summary

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

A prospective, open-label, multicentre phase-II trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a sequential regimen of bendamustine followed by ofatumumab and ibrutinib followed by ibrutinib and ofatumumab maintenance in CLL patients.

Detailed Description

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

In the CLL2-BIO trial an allcomer CLL population with indication for treatment will be included.

Patient will receive 2 cycles of debulking treatment with bendamustin unless contraindications are existing or debulking is not indicated. Afterwards 6 cycles of induction therapy with ofatumumab and ibrutinib will be applied, each with a duration of 28 days. Primary endpoint overall Response rate will be assessed at final restaging.

Patients benefitting from BIO treatment will enter the maintenance phase of the trial. Maintenance treatment will be continued if no unacceptable toxicity occurs until three months after negativity of minimal residual disease (MRD) is achieved in peripheral blood in patients with (clinical) complete response (CR) or (clinical) incomplete complete response (CRi) confirmed by 2 consecutive testings of MRD within 3 months, progression of CLL, start of a subsequent therapy or up to 8 cycles of maintenance (each cycle with a duration of 84 calendar days = 3 months), whichever occurs first.

Eligibility Criteria

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

Inclusion Criteria

1. Documented CLL requiring treatment (irrespective if first- or relapse treatment) according to International Working Group on CLL (iwCLL) criteria

In case of previously treated patients, these must have recovered from acute toxicities and treatment regimen must be stopped within the following time periods before start of the study treatment in the CLL2-BIO trial:
* chemotherapy within ≥ 28 days
* antibody treatment within ≥ 14 days
* kinase inhibitors, Bcl-2-antagonists or immunomodulatory agents within ≥ 3 days
* corticosteroids may be applied until the start of the BIO-regimen, these have to be reduced to an equivalent of ≤ 20 mg prednisolone during treatment
2. Adequate hematologic function as indicated by a platelet count ≥ 25 x 109/L, a neutrophil count ≥ 1,0 x 109/L and a hemoglobin value ≥ 8.0 g/dL, unless directly attributable to the patient´s CLL (e.g. bone marrow infiltration)
3. Adequate renal function as indicated by a creatinine clearance ≥ 30ml/min calculated according to the modified formula of Cockcroft and Gault or directly measured with 24 hrs urine collection
4. Adequate liver function as indicated by a total bilirubin ≤ 2x, aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/ alanin aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5x the institutional upper limit of normal (ULN) value, unless directly attributable to the patient's CLL or to Gilbert's Syndrome
5. Negative serological testing for hepatitis B, negative testing for hepatitis-C RNA and negative HIV antibody test within 6 weeks prior to registration
6. Age ≥ 18 years
7. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status 0 to 2, ECOG 3 is only permitted if related to CLL (e.g. due to anemia or severe constitutional symptoms)
8. Life expectancy ≥ 6 months
9. Ability and willingness to provide written informed consent and to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements

Exclusion Criteria

1. Transformation of CLL (i.e. Richter's transformation, pro-lymphocytic leukemia)
2. Known central nervous system (CNS) involvement
3. Patients with confirmed progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML)
4. Malignancies other than CLL currently requiring systemic therapy
5. Uncontrolled infection requiring systemic treatment
6. Any comorbidity or organ system impairment rated with a cumulative illness rating scale (CIRS) score of 4, excluding the eyes/ears/nose/throat/larynx organ system or any other life- threatening illness, medical condition or organ system dysfunction that - in the investigator´s opinion - could compromise the patients safety or interfere with the absorption or metabolism of the study drugs (e.g, inability to swallow tablets or impaired resorption in the gastrointestinal tract)
7. Use of investigational agents which might interfere with the study drug within 3 days prior to Registration
8. Known hypersensitivity to ofatumumab, ibrutinib or any of the excipients Please note: Patients with a known hypersensitivity to bendamustine are allowed to participate but will not receive a debulking with bendamustine
