About this study

Official title: A Phase 1b/2 Open Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of TRU-016 in Combination With Bendamustine vs. Bendamustine Alone in Patients With Relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

The objective of the first part of the study is to determine a safe dose of TRU-016 that can be used in combination with bendamustine in patients with relapsed CLL. The objectives of the second part of the study are to compare the safety and efficacy of TRU-016 in combination with bendamustine to bendamustine alone in patients with relapsed CLL.

Read the detailed description

This study consisted of two parts. The initial dose escalation stage was a Phase 1b study evaluating the safety and tolerability of two doses of TRU-016 administered in combination with bendamustine to patients with relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). In the randomized Phase 2 stage of the study, the efficacy and safety of the selected dose of 20 mg/kg TRU-016 combined with bendamustine was compared to bendamustine alone. The pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of TRU-016 and the development of antibodies to TRU-016 were evaluated in both phases of the study.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Response Per International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) Criteria

    Patients had full clinical response assessment monthly during treatment, at the end of treatment (EOT) visit, 30 and 60 days after the EOT visit, and subsequently every 3 months until the earliest of progression of CLL, death, initiation of new therapy, withdrawal from the study, or completion of 18 months of follow-up evaluations. Clinical response assessment included physical examination with measurement of spleen, liver, and lymph nodes, disease-related symptoms, and laboratory measurements, specifically complete blood count (CBC) with differential.

    Measured: 1 and 2 months after end of treatment, then every 3 months until disease progression, death, initiation of new therapy, study withdrawal, or 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Response Per NCI Criteria

    Overall response rate per National Cancer Institute (NCI) Working group criteria.

    Measured: 1 and 2 months after end of treatment, then every 3 months until disease progression, death, initiation of new therapy, study withdrawal, or 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing TRU-016 and bendamustine, Bendamustine and 15 mg/kg TRU-016 and bendamustine in people with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL), run by Aptevo Therapeutics at 25 sites in 5 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 10 inclusion and 11 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Jun 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 25 sites in United States, Germany, Poland, Spain, Austria. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 6 Jan 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Response Per International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) Criteria (time frame: 1 and 2 months after end of treatment, then every 3 months until disease progression, death, initiation of new therapy, study withdrawal, or 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01188681, which also lists 1 linked publication.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Jun 2021.
