Trial Outcomes & Findings for Acalabrutinib for the Treatment of Relapsed or Refractory Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia in Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (NCT NCT04657094)

NCT ID: NCT04657094

Last Updated: 2025-04-27

Results Overview

ORR is defined as proportion of patients who achieve complete response (CR) and partial response (PR). The probability of having AIHA-ORR at 6 cycles were measured and reported with 95% exact confidence interval (CI). An exact binomial test against a null hypothesis of 30% rate was performed at the 1-sided alpha of 0.05 to determine whether the AIHA-ORR rate at 6 cycles is disappointing or promising.

Treatment (Acalabrutinib)
Patients receive acalabrutinib PO BID on days 1-28. Treatment repeats every 28 days for up to 12 cycles in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Treatment with acalabrutinib may be continued beyond 12 cycles for a maximum of 36 cycles if, in the opinion of the treating physician, the patient might benefit from ongoing therapy.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Participants were assessed at the end of the 6-week therapy.

Population: Among the 4 enrolled participants, one was in-evaluable for not finishing 6 cycles of the study treatment due to toxicity.

ORR is defined as proportion of patients who achieve complete response (CR) and partial response (PR). The probability of having AIHA-ORR at 6 cycles were measured and reported with 95% exact confidence interval (CI). An exact binomial test against a null hypothesis of 30% rate was performed at the 1-sided alpha of 0.05 to determine whether the AIHA-ORR rate at 6 cycles is disappointing or promising.
