Study summary

The goal of this phase II randomized open label study is to compare the rate of complete remission (CR) with undetectable minimal residual disease (uMRD) obtained with zanubrutinib in combination with obinutuzumab with two different schedules of administration of obinutuzumab (starting obinutuzumab at cycle 2 or 12 months) in patients with previously untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL). There is scarce information about which is the most appropriate schedule of combining the BTKi and the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, and whether treatment can be safely stopped in those patients attaining deep responses (CR with uMRD) remains to be determined.

Response will be assessed after 20 cycles of treatment for the primary objective of the study. Patients attaining uMRD will stop treatment with zanubrutinib, whereas the rest of patients will continue on treatment with zanubrutinib until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or trial completion, whichever comes first.

Read the detailed description

This a multicenter, phase 2 randomized, open label study of the Spanish Group of CLL (GELLC) for patients with untreated CLL/SLL with 2 arms of treatment. In this study, 106 patients from 20 centers in Spain with untreated CLL/SLL will be randomized (1:1) to arm A (n= 53) or arm B (n= 53). The randomization will be stratified according to the presence/absence of deletion/mutation 17p/TP53 at the time of inclusion and based on the randomization list generated by the study statistician.

Arm A: Patients will be treated with the combination of zanubrutinib 320 mg P.O qDay and obinutuzumab, starting obinutuzumab at cycle 2 to reduce infusion-related reactions. Intravenous obinutuzumab will be given on days 1 (100 mg), 2 (900 mg), 8 (1000 mg), and 15 (1000 mg) of cycle 2 and on day 1 (1000 mg) of cycles 3-7.

Arm B: Patients will start treatment with zanubrutinib 320 mg P.O qDay in monotherapy. After 12 cycles of zanubrutinib patients will be treated with the combination of zanubrutinib and obitnutuzumab. Intravenous obinutuzumab will be given on days 1 (100 mg), 2 (900 mg), 8 (1000 mg), and 15 (1000 mg) of cycle 13 and on day 1 (1000 mg) of cycles 14-18.

Response will be assessed after 20 cycles of treatment for the primary objective of the study. Patients that in the evaluation of cycle 20 who achieve uMRD (\<0.01% tumour cells by flow cytometry) will stop treatment with zanubrutinib, whereas the rest of patients will continue on treatment with zanubrutinib until progression, unacceptable toxicity or trial completion, whichever comes first. Patients who achieve an uMRD in bone marrow beyond C20, will also be allowed to stop the treatment, whereas the rest of patients will continue on treatment with zanubrutinib until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or trial completion, whichever comes first.

In addition, the efficacy and safety of the combination therapy with two different administration schedules of obinutuzumab will be analysed through the following outcome measures: i) Overall response rate, including Complete Remission (CR), CR with incomplete marrow recovery (CRi), Partial Remission (PR), and partial response with lymphocytosis; ii) MRD analysis; iiI) Duration of response and progression-free survival (PFS); iv) Safety: type, frequency, and severity of adverse events (AEs) and relationship of AEs to zanubrutinib or the combination of zanubrutinib and obinutuzumab; v) Response rate in relationship to molecular and genetic prognostic factors; vi) Immunological recovery; vii) Overall survival (OS); viii) Biomarkers for response.

  2. Must understand and voluntarily sign an form.
  3. Age ≥ 18 years at the time of signing the informed consent form and must be able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.
  4. Must have a documented diagnosis of CLL or SLL [IWCLL guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of CLL (Hallek, 2018)] meeting at least one of the following criteria:

    • Evidence of progressive marrow failure as manifested by the development of, or worsening of, anemia and/or thrombocytopenia.
    • Massive (i.e. ≥6 cm below the left costal margin) or progressive or symptomatic splenomegaly.
    • Massive nodes (i.e. ≥10 cm in longest diameter) or progressive or symptomatic lymphadenopathy.

    • A minimum of any one of the following disease-related symptoms: unintentional weight loss ≥ 10% within the previous 6 months, significant fatigue (i.e., PS 2 or worse; cannot work or unable to perform usual activities), fevers of greater than 38.0°C for 2 or more weeks without other evidence of infection, or night sweats for more than 1 month without evidence of infection.
    • complications including anemia or thrombocytopenia poorly responsive to .
    • Symptomatic or functional extranodal involvement (eg, skin, kidney, lung, spine).
  5. Must have an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of ≤2.
  6. Female patients of must practice highly effective methods of initiated prior to first dose of study drug, for the duration of the study, and for ≥ 90 days after the last dose of zanubrutinib and 18 months after last dose of obinutuzumab.

    Male patients are eligible if vasectomized or if they agree to the use of barrier contraception with other applicable highly effective methods described below during the study treatment period and for ≥ 90 days after the last dose of zanubrutinib and 18 months after last dose of obinutuzumab.

    A woman is considered of childbearing potential, ie, fertile, following menarche and until becoming unless permanently sterile. Permanent sterilization methods include hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy, and bilateral oophorectomy. Contraception methods include the following:

    • Combined (estrogen- and progestogen- containing) hormonal contraception associated with the inhibition of ovulation - Oral, intravaginal, or transdermal.
    • Progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with the inhibition of ovulation - Oral, injectable, implantable.
    • An intrauterine device.
    • Intrauterine hormone-releasing system.
    • Bilateral tubal occlusion.
    • Vasectomized partner (provided that the vasectomized partner is the sole sexual partner of the woman of childbearing potential study participant and that the vasectomized partner has received medical assessment of surgical success).
    • Sexual abstinence (defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study treatment, starting the day prior to first dose of study drug, for the duration of the study, and for ≥ 90 days after the last dose of zanubrutinib or ibrutinib. Total sexual abstinence should only be used as a contraceptive method if it is in line with the patients' usual and preferred lifestyle. Periodic abstinence (eg, calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, post-ovulation methods), declaration of abstinence for the duration of exposure to medicinal product, and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception.

    Of note, barrier contraception (including male and female condoms with or without spermicide) is not considered a highly effective method of contraception, and, if used, this method must be used in combination with another acceptable method listed above.

    If patient is using hormonal contraceptives such as birth control pills or devices, a barrier method of contraception (eg, condoms) must also be used.

    A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high follicle-stimulating hormone level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. However, in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single follicle-stimulating hormone measurement is insufficient.

  7. Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening. Females of child bearing potential are defined as sexually mature women without prior hysterectomy or who have had any evidence of menses in the past 12 months. However, women who have been amenorrheic for 12 or more months are still considered to be of childbearing potential if the amenorrhea is possibly due to other causes, including prior chemotherapy, anti-estrogens, or ovarian suppression.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Prior treatment for CLL.
  2. Known (HIV), Virus (HBV) and/or Virus (HCV) infection. Subjects who are hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) positive and who are surface antigen negative could be eligible if they have an undetectable HBV DNA (negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) \<20 IU). Those who are hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) positive or hepatitis B PCR positive will be excluded. Subjects who are hepatitis C antibody positive will need to have a negative PCR result. Those who are hepatitis C PCR positive will be excluded.

    Per published guidelines (NCCN 2012) or institutional guidelines, patients should be closely monitored for hepatitis B reactivation. Obtaining repeated hepatitis B PCR every 3 months during treatment and for the 12 months after last dose of study drug according to usual clinical practice in order to monitor for reactivation of hepatitis B is recommended.

  3. Estimated ( Appendix C) ≤30 mL/min/1.73m2.
  4. (ANC) \< 1.0 X 109/L.
  5. count \< 75 X 109/L, except for patients with bone marrow involvement by CLL in which case the platelet count must be ≥ 30 X 109/L.
  6. Serum (AST)/serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) or alanine transaminase (ALT)/serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) >2.5 x (ULN).
  7. Serum total > 1.5 x ULN, except in cases of Gilbert's syndrome.
  8. /INR or aPTT (in the absence of Lupus anticoagulant) > 2x ULN.
  9. Active bleeding, history of bleeding diathesis (eg, haemophilia or von Willebrand disease).
  10. Unable to swallow capsules, or has disease significantly affecting gastrointestinal function that would limit absorption of oral medication.

    • Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin
    • Carcinoma in situ of the cervix
    • Carcinoma in situ of the breast
    • Incidental histologic finding of prostate cancer (TNM stage of T1a or T1b)

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(24)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Postmenopausal

Periods have stopped for good: usually no period for 12 months in a row without another medical reason, sometimes confirmed by a blood test (FSH).

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

GFR and eGFR (kidney filtering)

GFR (glomerular filtration rate) is how much blood the kidneys filter each minute. It is usually estimated from a blood test — eGFR, by formulas such as CKD-EPI or MDRD — and some studies ask for it to be measured directly instead. Usually given in mL/min/1.73 m².

Check the method, the units and the minimum the study states. A value of 90 or above is in the normal-or-high range, but kidney damage can show in other tests too.

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)

The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.

It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

INR, PT and aPTT (clotting tests)

Blood tests of how long blood takes to clot. The INR is the prothrombin time (PT) put on a common scale; about 1 is usual for someone not taking a blood thinner.

Criteria often make an exception for people on a blood thinner such as warfarin, whose INR is raised on purpose.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

CYP3A (CYP3A4) inhibitors and inducers

CYP3A is a group of enzymes, mainly CYP3A4, in the liver and gut that break down many medicines. Some medicines, supplements and foods (grapefruit, St John’s wort) slow them down or speed them up, which changes how much of a study drug stays in the body.

Studies list them so they can be avoided or switched; bring a list of everything you take, including supplements.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Excipients

The other ingredients in a medicine besides the active drug, such as fillers, colours or preservatives.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Arm Zanubrutinib+early Obinutuzumab

    Patients will be treated with the combination of zanubrutinib 320 mg P.O qDay and obinutuzumab, starting obinutuzumab at cycle 2 to reduce infusion-related reactions. Intravenous obinutuzumab will be given on days 1 (100 mg), 2 (900 mg), 8 (1000 mg), and 15 (1000 mg) of cycle 2 and on day 1 (1000 mg) of cycles 3-7. Response will be assessed after 20 cycles of treatment for the primary objective of the study. Patients that in the evaluation of cycle 20 who achieve uMRD will stop treatment with zanubrutinib, whereas the rest of patients will continue on treatment with zanubrutinib until progression, unacceptable toxicity or trial completion, whichever comes first. Patients who achieve an uMRD in bone marrow beyond C20, will also be allowed to stop the treatment, whereas the rest of patients will continue on treatment with zanubrutinib until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or trial completion, whichever comes first.

    Drug: Zanubrutinib Oral Product · Drug: Obinutuzumab

Interventions

  • Zanubrutinib drug product is supplied as 80 mg strengths in capsules for oral administration. In both arms A and B, zanubrutinib 320 mg will be taken qDay with or without food. Patients will take zanubrutinib with water at approximately the same time every day.

    Also known as: Zanubrutinib

  • Each dose of obinutuzumab is 1000 mg administered intravenously, per institutional standards, with the exception of the first infusion in Cycle 2 (arm A) or Cycle 13 (arm B). It is recommended that the initial 1000 mg dose be administered over Day 1 (100 mg) and Day 2 (900 mg). For subjects who tolerate the initial 100 mg dose well and required no dose interruption or modification of the infusion rate, the treating physician may opt to administer the remaining 900 mg on Day 1. Arm A: patients will receive obinutuzumab on days 1 (100 mg), 2 (or day 1 continued, 900 mg), 8 and 15 (1000 mg) of the cycle 2 of zanubrutinib treatment, and on the day 1 of cycles 3-7 (1000 mg). Arm B: patients will receive obinutuzumab on days 1 (100 mg), 2 ( (or day 1 continued, 900 mg), 8 and 15 (1000 mg) of the cycle 13 of zanubrutinib treatment, and on the day 1 of cycles 14-18 (1000 mg).

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Rate of Complete Remission (CR) with undetectable Measurable Residual Disease (uMRD).

    To compare the rates of complete remission (CR) with undetectable minimal residual disease (uMRD, assessed by flow cytometry in bone marrow with a value \<10-4 \[0.01%\] tumour cells for being considered as negative) between both arms A and B. Response will be assessed after 20 cycles of treatment for the primary outcome measure. Patients attaining uMRD will stop treatment with zanubrutinib, whereas the rest of patients will continue on treatment with zanubrutinib until progression, unacceptable toxicity, or trial completion, whichever comes first. Patients who achieve an uMRD in bone marrow beyond C20, will also be allowed to stop the treatment. The IWCLL guidelines (Hallek, 2018) will be used to measure response in CLL subjects.

    Time frame: 7.5 Years

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall response rate (ORR)

    Includes the following categories: Complete Remission (CR); CR with incomplete marrow recovery (CRi); Partial Remission (PR), and partial response with lymphocytosis. The IWCLL guidelines (Hallek, 2018) will be used to measure response in CLL subjects. Overall response assessment will include evaluation of physical exams, recording of symptoms, and haematological evaluations. OR will be assessed on Day 1 Cycle 2, on Day 1 of Cycles 3 to 12, and on Day 1 of Cycles 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, and 23, and then every 3 cycles to disease progression or study closure.

    Time frame: 7.5 Years

  2. Measurable Residual Disease (MRD) analysis

    In cycle 20, MRD should be analysed in peripheral blood and in the bone marrow by flow-cytometry. Patients with uMRD should be followed every 6 months during 24 months and then every 12 months for MRD by peripheral blood flow cytometry. Patients with detectable MRD and without lymphocytosis (lymphocyte count \< 4.0 X 109/L) should be followed every 6 months for MRD by peripheral blood flow cytometry during 24 months and then every 12 months. In addition, a further bone marrow MRD assessment should be performed at any time during follow-up when the patient has cleared MRD from the peripheral blood. MRD will also be evaluated in PB by flow-cytometry at cycle 9 in arm A (2 cycles after finalizing obinutuzumab).

    Time frame: 7.5 Years

  3. Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    Defined as the time from randomization until symptomatic disease progression (as defined by the updated iwCLL-guidelines) or death by any cause, whichever occurs first.

    Time frame: 7.5 Years

  4. Overall Survival (OS)

    Defined as the time from the date of first dose of study drug to the date of the subject's death. If the subject is alive or the vital status is unknown, then the subject's data will be censored at the date the subject was last known to be alive. After progression, patients will be followed every 6 months to assess survival status and the start of subsequent cancer therapies until death, patient withdrawal, loss to follow-up, or study termination, whichever comes first.

    Time frame: 7.5 Years

  5. Immunological recovery

    Serum quantitative immunoglobulin (IgG, IgM, IgA) levels will be evaluated by local laboratory at screening, on Day 1 of every odd cycle from Cycles 3 through 12, on Day 1 of every odd cycle (for Cycles 13, 15, 17, 19, 21 and 23), and then every 3 cycles until progression or study closure. The units if measure for the immunoglobulin levels determinations of will be g/L for all 3 Ig types.

    Time frame: 7.5 Years

  6. Adverse Events (AE)

    Adverse Event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation subject administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with the treatment. Type, rate and severity of AEs and relationship of AEs to zanubrutinib or the combination of zanubrutinib and obinutuzumab, including the assessment of infusion related reactions (IRR) and tumour lysis syndrome (TLS) will be recorded. The rate and severity of IRR and TLS will be analyzed also according to the two different schedules of administration of obinutuzumab (arm A and arm B).

    Time frame: 7.5 Years
