This is a Phase 1b and 2, open-label, single-arm study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of roginolisib (IOA-244) in combination with obinutuzumab followed by venetoclax in patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who have progressed after prior Bruton Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) inhibitor therapy. The study aims to determine the maximum tolerated dose of roginolisib in combination with obinutuzumab, and to assess the rate of undetectable minimal residual disease (uMRD) after sequential therapy with roginolisib, obinutuzumab, and venetoclax.
The study consists of two parts: Phase 1b: A safety lead-in using a 3+3 dose escalation design to determine the recommended dose of roginolisib (40 mg or 80 mg QD) in combination with obinutuzumab. After 6 months of combination therapy, venetoclax is added for 6-12 months. DLTs are assessed at the end of cycle 2.
Phase 2: Dose expansion at the recommended phase 2 dose. Participants receive obinutuzumab and roginolisib for 6 months, followed by venetoclax and roginolisib for an additional 6 months. Participants who do not achieve uMRD after 12 months may continue therapy for another 6 months.
All participants will receive roginolisib orally once daily, obinutuzumab intravenously as per label for 6 cycles, and venetoclax orally as per label starting at cycle 7 with standard ramp-up. The primary endpoint is the rate of objective response with uMRD in bone marrow at the end of one year of combination therapy.
Up to 40 patients will be enrolled over 36 months.
Age ≥18 years, at the time of signing the IRB approved informed consent. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of venetoclax in combination with roginolisib in participants \<18 years of age, children are excluded from this study, but will be eligible for future pediatric trials.
Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of ≤ 2.
-Participants must meet the following organ and marrow function as defined below:
Creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min** Thrombocytopenia due to marrow involvement of CLL: > 30 x 109/L
Participants with clinically inactive CNS disease or treated CNS disease that is no longer symptomatic, or who need corticosteroids or anticonvulsants may be enrolled in the study. For participants who have symptoms present, imaging and lumbar puncture must be performed to exclude a CNS condition that may impact the study conduct.
Willingness to undergo a pre-treatment and on-treatment bone marrow biopsy to evaluate MRD.
Willingness to use adequate contraception prior to study entry and for the duration of study participation.
Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consent document, which includes compliance with the requirements of this protocol.
Eligible to receive infection prophylaxis and supportive care as per institutional guidelines.
Exclusion Criteria:
Participants who have received a live vaccine within 30 days of planned start of study therapy. With regards to other type of vaccines, including SARS-Co2 vaccines, these are allowed
-Participants requiring ongoing treatment with chronic high dose immunosuppressants (e.g., cyclosporine) or systemic steroids > 20 mg prednisone (or equivalent) QD. For example, participants with uncontrolled autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA) or idiopathic thrombocytopenia purpura (ITP), which requires > 20 mg once daily (QD) of prednisone (or equivalent) to maintain haemoglobin levels of >8.0 g/dL or platelets > 10,000 mL without transfusion support.
History of transformation of CLL to aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (Richter´s transformation or pro-lymphocytic leukaemia) which may otherwise interfere with the interpretation of the outcome of the study (including biomarker evaluation).
Because of ongoing research, regularly consulting medical reference databases is recommended. One such reference is the Website of the US-FDA: (Drug Interactions \| Relevant Regulatory Guidance and Policy Documents \| FDA)
As part of the enrollment/informed consent procedures, the participant will be counseled on the risk of interactions with other agents, and what to do if new medications need to be prescribed or if the participant is considering a new over-the-counter medicine or herbal product.
Pregnant women are excluded from this study because venetoclax has the potential to cause embryo-fetal harm, and the potential for teratogenic or abortifacient effects with roginolisib is currently unknown. Because there is an unknown but potential risk for adverse events in nursing infants secondary to treatment of the mother with roginolisib or venetoclax breastfeeding should be discontinued if the mother is treated with these agents.
Participants with a history of other primary malignancy are excluded when they require therapy that will interfere with the investigational treatments. Exceptions are if the natural history or treatment does not have the potential to interfere with the safety or efficacy assessment of the investigational regimen. For example:
Ongoing systemic bacterial, fungal, or viral infections (including also hepatitis viral infection) at the time of initiation of study treatment (defined as requiring intravenous [IV] antimicrobial, antifungal or antiviral agents). Subjects on antimicrobial, antifungal or antiviral prophylaxis are not specifically excluded if all other inclusion/exclusion criteria are met, there is no evidence of active infection at enrollment, and ongoing treatment does not have a significant risk of drug-drug interaction with venetoclax.
Known Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection which is treated with agents that can interfere with venetoclax due to potential drug-drug interactions or increased risk of myelotoxicity.
Any serious or uncontrolled medical disorder or active infection that, in the opinion of the Investigator, may increase the risk associated with study participation, study drug administration, or would impair the ability of the participant to receive protocol therapy.
Known alcohol or substance abuse.
All participants receive roginolisib orally once daily in the morning, obinutuzumab intravenously as per label for 6 cycles, and venetoclax orally as per label starting at cycle 7 with standard ramp-up.
