Study summary

This is a phase 2 multicenter national interventional pharmacological study aimed at determining the efficacy of a fixed duration treatment with ibrutinib and obinutuzumab in terms of uMRD in the BM at the end of treatment (+30 Days follow-up).

Treatment with ibrutinib and obinutuzumab will be administered according to the following schedule:

Ibrutinib 420 mg QD for 24 months (Cycles 1-24) Obinutuzumab starting from Cycle 13 Day 1 (100 mg Cycle 13 Day 1, 900 mg Cycle 13 Day 2, 1000 mg Cycle 13 Days 8 and 15, 1000 mg Cycles 14-18 Day 1).

At the end of Cycle 24 all responding patients will discontinue ibrutinib and proceed with follow-up. If disease relapse occurs at any time after discontinuing treatment, ibrutinib therapy will be reintroduced at the standard dose of 420 mg QD and response to treatment monitored over time. Patients with stable (SD) or progressive disease (PD) at the end of Cycle 24, will continue ibrutinib as long as the treating physician deems they are benefiting from treatment and will be followed up in the study for survival and response to subsequent therapies.

  3. Previously untreated active disease requiring treatment per iwCLL criteria
  4. ECOG PS 0 or 1
  5. Measurable lymph node disease (>1.5 cm longest diameter) by CT scan
  6. Adequate hematologic function defined as:

    1. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >750 cells/μL (750 cells/mm3 or 0.75 x 109/L)
    2. Platelet count >30,000/μL (30,000 cells/mm3 or 30 x 109/L)
    3. Hemoglobin >8.0 g/dL
  7. Adequate hepatic and renal function defined as:

    1. Serum aspartate transaminase (AST) or alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤3.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
    2. Estimated Creatinine Clearance (CrCl) ≥30 mL/min (Cockcroft- Gault)
    3. Bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN (unless bilirubin rise is due to Gilbert's syndrome or of non-hepatic origin)
  8. Prothrombin time (PT)/International normal ratio (INR) \<1.5 x ULN and PTT (activated partial thromboplastin time [aPTT]) \<1.5 x ULN (unless abnormalities are unrelated to coagulopathy or bleeding disorder).

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

Any prior therapy (including but not limited to chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunomodulating therapy, radiotherapy, and/or monoclonal antibody) used for treatment of CLL or SLL.

2. Patients carrying del(17p) and/or TP53 mutation as assessed by central laboratory.

3. History of other malignancies, except:

  1. Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease present for ≥3 before the first dose of study drug and felt to be at low risk for recurrence by the treating physician
  2. Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence of disease
  3. Adequately treated carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease. 4. Known or suspected history of Richter's transformation. 5. Known hypersensitivity to one or more study drugs. 6. Known bleeding disorders (eg, von Willebrand's disease or hemophilia). 7. History of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within 6 months prior to enrollment.

    8. Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or active infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) or hepatitis B virus (HBV). Subjects who are positive for hepatitis B core antibody, hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or hepatitis C antibody must have a negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) result before enrolment. Those who are PCR positive will be excluded. 9.
