Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of Ibrutinib in Japanese participants with treatment-naive chronic lymphocytic leukemia ( CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL).

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 1, open-label and multicenter study. The study consists of a Screening Phase (28 days prior to the first administration of the study drug), Treatment Phase (time when the first dose of ibrutinib is administered until disease progression, the investigator no longer considers the treatment to be tolerable, or the participant meets any one of the discontinuation criteria) and Follow-up Phase (end of the last dose of study drug until 30 days after the last dose of study drug or the start of subsequent anti-CLL/SLL therapy, whichever comes first). Participants will be instructed to take 3 capsules of ibrutinib (at a dose of 420 mg) orally once daily starting at Cycle 1, Day 1. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Intensity of Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Intensity of Adverse Events will be assessed using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE).

    Time frame: Screening up to follow-up phase (maximum of 24 months)

  2. Incidence of Adverse Events

    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. An SAE is an AE resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; life threatening experience (immediate risk of dying); persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly. Incidence was defined as the number of participants who experienced an adverse event within their period of participation in this study. Incidence of adverse events will be assessed using National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE).

    Time frame: Screening up to follow-up phase (maximum of 24 months)

Secondary outcomes

  1. Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) Over the Dosing Interval

    Time frame: Pre-dose and 1, 2, and 4 hours post-dose on Day 1 of Cycle 1 and Cycle 2

  2. Overall Response Rate (Complete Response [CR] and Partial Response [PR])

    Tumor response will be evaluated according to the Guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and the International Working Group (IWG) Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma, respectively.

    Time frame: Days 1 of cycles 3,5,7 and every odd numbered cycle thereafter until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or death whichever is first; expected average of 24 months

  3. Time to Response

    Time to response is defined as the time from the initial treatment until the first documented evidence of CR or PR.

    Time frame: Days 1 of cycles 3,5,7 and every odd numbered cycle thereafter until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity or death whichever is first; expected average of 24 months
