What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Patients With Dose-Limiting Toxicities Adverse Events (DLTs)

    Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) were defined as any drug-related non-haematologic adverse event of Common Terminology Criteria for AE (CTCAE) Grade 3 or higher, except infusion related reactions associated with the administration of BI 836826. In addition complications due to haematologic AEs were considered as DLTs and were added in more detail in an amendment later on.

    Measured: 14 days after first administration of BI836826 (MTD evaluation period)

  2. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) was defined as the highest dose of BI 836826 studied for which the incidence of DLT was no more than 17% (i.e. 1 out of 6 patients) during the first treatment cycle. For those patients who received more than 1 cycle of BI 836826, all AEs corresponding to the DLT were considered for the purpose of confirming the MTD and for the selection of the recommended dose for treatment of the expansion cohort and for further development. All DLTs, occurring during the first or repeated treatment cycle were reported as significant AEs. As it was not possible to recruit a sufficient number of patients whilst the first part of the trial was still in progress, the recruitment was ended by the sponsor before the MTD or optimal biological dose (OBD) was reached.

    Measured: 14 days after first administration of BI836826 (MTD evaluation period)

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Best Percentage Change From Baseline in Number of Lymphocytes in the Peripheral Blood

    In most patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL), malignant B-cells represent the majority of lymphocytes in the peripheral blood. Reduction of CLL-cells was assessed in the peripheral blood by absolute lymphocyte count, and flow cytometry. The number of lymphocytes in the peripheral blood was analysed in terms of the best percentage change from baseline until start of subsequent CLL therapy or progressive disease (PD).

    Measured: baseline and ≥8 day after a completed infusion of a cycle and before Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) therapy; data collected up to cut-off date 26Oct2016, Up to 1809 days

  2. Number of Patients With Improved Haemoglobin Count for at Least Two Subsequent Response Assessments

    In patients with haemoglobin counts below the limits of normal at baseline, improvement in this count during therapy potentially indicated a benefit for the patient. Number of patients with improved haemoglobin count for at least two subsequent response assessments which fulfil International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) response criteria for Complete Remission (CR) or Partial Remission (PR). The response was assessed before Progressive Disease (PD) or start of new Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) therapy.

    Measured: ≥8 day after a completed infusion of a cycle and before Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) therapy; data collected up to cut-off date 26Oct2016, Up to 1809 days

  3. Number of Patients With Improved Platelet Count for at Least Two Subsequent Response Assessments

    In patients with platelet counts below the limits of normal at baseline, improvement in this count during therapy potentially indicated a benefit for the patient. Number of patients with improved platelet count for at least two subsequent response assessments which fulfil International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) response criteria for Complete Remission (CR) or Partial Remission (PR). The response was assessed before Progressive Disease (PD) or start of new Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) therapy.

    Measured: ≥8 day after a completed infusion of a cycle and before Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) therapy; data collected up to cut-off date 26Oct2016, Up to 1809 days

  4. Number of Patients With Improved Neutrophil Count for at Least Two Subsequent Response Assessments

    In patients with neutrophil count below the limits of normal at baseline, improvement in this count during therapy potentially indicated a benefit for the patient. Number of patients with improved neutrophil count for at least two subsequent response assessments which fulfil International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) response criteria for Complete Remission (CR) or Partial Remission (PR). The response was assessed before Progressive Disease (PD) or start of new Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) therapy.

    Measured: ≥8 day after a completed infusion of a cycle and before Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) therapy; data collected up to cut-off date 26Oct2016, Up to 1809 days

  5. Best Overall Response According to 'International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia' (IWCLL) Criteria

    Response was assessed according to the IWCLL (International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia) guidelines based on laboratory data from the peripheral blood and clinical examination by the investigator after each cycle prior to administration of the next dose of BI 836826, at the end of the treatment (EOT) visit, and at all Follow-up Visits. Best overall response will be analysed descriptively. Frequency distributions will be used to examine this endpoint.

    Measured: Data collected up to cut-off date 26Oct2016 until Progressive disease (PD) to start of next Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL) therapy, Up to 1809 days.

  6. Progression-free Survival

    Progression-free survival (PFS) was defined as the time from the first administration of BI 836826 until disease progression or death, whichever occurred first. Disease progression= At least one of the following:

    • 50+% increase in blood lymphocytes over baseline with an absolute number of B-lymphocytes of at least 5x109/L
    • Progression of lymphadenopathy
    • 50+% increase in the previously noted enlargement of the liver or new appearance of hepatomegaly
    • 50+% increase in the previously noted enlargement of the spleen or new appearance of splenomegaly
    • 50+% Decrease of platelet counts or to less than 100x109/L secondary to CLL and unrelated to autoimmune cytopenia
    • Decrease of haemoglobin levels by more than 20 g/L, or to less than 100 g/L secondary to CLL and unrelated to autoimmune cytopenia T Transformation to a more aggressive histology, e.g. Richter syndrome.

    Measured: Data collected up to cut-off date 26Oct2016, Up to 1809 days.

  7. Failure-free Survival

    Failure-free survival (FFS) was defined as the time from the first administration of BI 836826 until disease progression or death, or start of next Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) therapy, whichever occurred first. Disease progression= At least one of the following:

    • 50+% increase in blood lymphocytes over baseline with an absolute number of B-lymphocytes of at least 5x109/L
    • Progression of lymphadenopathy
    • 50+% increase in the previously noted enlargement of the liver or new appearance of hepatomegaly
    • 50+% increase in the previously noted enlargement of the spleen or new appearance of splenomegaly
    • 50+% Decrease of platelet counts or to less than 100x109/L secondary to CLL and unrelated to autoimmune cytopenia
    • Decrease of haemoglobin levels by more than 20 g/L, or to less than 100 g/L secondary to CLL and unrelated to autoimmune cytopenia T Transformation to a more aggressive histology, e.g. Richter syndrome.

    Measured: Data collected up to cut-off date 26Oct2016, Up to 1809 days.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing BI 836826 in people with Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell, run by Boehringer Ingelheim at 10 sites in 3 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 7 inclusion and 24 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 20 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Germany, Belgium, France. 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 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.

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 20 Aug 2020). 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?

Number of Patients With Dose-Limiting Toxicities Adverse Events (DLTs) (time frame: 14 days after first administration of BI836826 (MTD evaluation period)). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 20 Aug 2020.
