About this study
Official title: A Phase Ib/II, Open-Label Study Evaluating the Safety, Efficacy and Pharmacokinetics of GDC-0199 (ABT-199) in Combination With Rituximab (R) or Obinutuzumab (G) Plus Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, and Prednisone (CHOP) in Patients With B-Cell Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) and DLBCL
This is a multicenter, open-label, dose-finding study of venetoclax administered orally in combination with rituximab (R) or obinutuzumab (G) and standard doses of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and oral prednisone (CHOP) in participants with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL). The study consisted of 2 stages: a dose-finding Phase Ib stage and a Phase II expansion stage. In the Phase I portion of the study, participants were randomized to one of 2 treatment arms venetoclax in combination with R-CHOP (Arm A) and venetoclax in combination with G-CHOP (Arm B) and explored the doses of venetoclax in combination with R-CHOP and G-CHOP. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of venetoclax in combination with R-CHOP and G-CHOP was determined during the dose-finding stage. For the Phase II portion of the study, the venetoclax dose for venetoclax + R-CHOP was on a non-continuous dosing schedule as determined by the Phase Ib portion of the study based on safety and tolerability observed in participants treated in the dose escalation portion of the study. On 17 July 2016, Roche/Genentech as the sponsor of Study BO21005 (Goya study), a Phase III study that evaluated G CHOP versus R-CHOP in 1L DLBCL, informed through a press release that the primary endpoint of investigator-assessed PFS was not met. Given these results, Arm B (venetoclax + G-CHOP) was not expanded in Phase II in patients who are first-line with DLBCL.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Safety: Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
DLTs were reported according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 4.0 (NCI CTCAE v4.0). Decrease in B cells, lymphopenia, and leukopenia caused by lymphopenia were not considered DLTs but instead were expected outcomes of study treatment. Any Grade >/= 3 adverse event, that was attributed to having a reasonable possibility of being related to the combined administration of venetoclax plus R-CHOP or G-CHOP, that could not be attributed by the investigator to an alternative, clearly identifiable cause such as tumor progression, concurrent illness or medical condition, or concomitant medication and that occurred during the DLT observation period (start of venetoclax treatment through end of Cycle 2) was considered a DLT for dose-escalation purposes. Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia identified on Day 1 of Cycle 2 or 3, resulting in dose delay were considered DLTs.
Measured: Start of venetoclax administration (Cycle 1 Day 4 or 3 days after first CHOP dose) up to end of Cycle 2 (cycle length = 21 days)
Percentage of Previously Untreated DLBCL Participants With Complete Response (CR) Defined by Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET/CT) Scan Using the Modified Lugano Classification Assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC)
CR was defined as follows according to modified Lugano classification for PET/CT-based response: Lymph nodes and extra-lymphatic sites with score 1, 2, or 3 with or without a residual mass on 5-point scale with 1) no uptake above background; 2) uptake </= mediastinum; 3) uptake < mediastinum but </= liver. No evidence of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-uptake disease in marrow. If the bone marrow was involved by lymphoma prior to treatment, the infiltrate must have cleared on repeat bone marrow biopsy
Measured: Baseline up to end of treatment (up to approximately 6 months)
Percentage of Participants With CR Defined by PET/CT Scan in Previously Untreated DLBCL Co-Expressing Both Bcl-2 and c-Myc Proteins (DE-DLBCL) Participants Assessed by IRC
CR was defined as follows according to modified Lugano classification for PET/CT-based response: Lymph nodes and extra-lymphatic sites with score 1, 2, or 3 with or without a residual mass on 5-point scale with 1) no uptake above background; 2) uptake </= mediastinum; 3) uptake < mediastinum but </= liver. No evidence of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-uptake disease in marrow. If the bone marrow was involved by lymphoma prior to treatment, the infiltrate must have cleared on repeat bone marrow biopsy.
Measured: Baseline up to end of treatment (up to approximately 6 months)

Percentage of Participants With Objective Response Defined as Partial Response (PR) or Complete Response (CR) Defined by Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET/CT) Using the Modified Lugano Classification Assessed by IRC
Objective Response defined as PR (partial response) or CR (complete response) at end of treatment.
CR: Lymph nodes and extra-lymphatic sites with score 1, 2 or 3 on a 5-point scale (with a higher score being a worse outcome). No evidence of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-uptake disease in marrow. If the bone marrow was involved by lymphoma prior to treatment, the infiltrate must have cleared on repeat bone marrow biopsy.
PR: Lymph nodes and extralymphatic sites with score of 4 or 5 on the 5-point scale with reduced uptake compared with baseline and residual mass(es) of any size. CT-based response criteria for PR must also be met. No new lesions. In bone marrow residual uptake could be higher than in normal marrow but must be reduced compared with baseline; persistent focal changes in the marrow to be considered for further evaluation with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or biopsy or an interval scan. OR=PR+CR
Measured: Baseline to end of treatment (up to approximately 6 months)
Percentage of Participants Who Are Alive and Without Disease Progression at Month 12
Progressive disease (PD) was determined using the modified Lugano classification criteria. For PET-CT-based PD: Score 4 (uptake moderately > liver) or 5 (uptake markedly higher than liver and/or new lesions) with an increase in intensity of uptake from baseline in target nodes and nodal lesions, new FDG-uptake foci of extranodal lesions consistent with lymphoma at interim or end-of-treatment assessment, no non-measured lesions, new FDG-uptake foci consistent with lymphoma, new or recurrent FDG-uptake foci in bone marrow. For CT-based PD: >/= 50% decrease in SPD of up to 6 target measureable nodes and extranodal sites; non-measured lesion should be absent/normal, have regressed, but not increased; no new lesions.
Measured: Month 12
Percentage of Participants With CR Defined by Computed Tomography (CT) Scan Using the Modified Lugano Classification
CR was defined as follows according to modified Lugano classification for CT-based response: Target nodes/nodal masses must have regressed to </= 1.5 cm in longest transverse diameter of a lesion (LDi), no extra-lymphatic sites of disease, absence of non-measured lesions, organ enlargement must have regressed to normal, no new lesions, and if the bone marrow was involved by lymphoma prior to treatment, the infiltrate must have cleared on repeat bone marrow biopsy.
Measured: Baseline up to end of treatment (approx. 6 months)
Safety: Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events
An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events.
Measured: Baseline up to approximately 36 months
Safety: Percentage of Participants Maintaining Relative Dose Intensity of CHOP Chemotherapy
Maintenance of relative dose intensity was defined as a dose intensity of >/= 90%.
Measured: Baseline up to Cycle 6 (cycle length = 21 days)
Relative Dose Intensity of Venetoclax
Dose intensity was categorized as < 80%, 80% to < 85%, 85% to < 90%, or >/= 90%.
Measured: Baseline up to Cycle 6 (cycle length = 21 days)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
This is a multicenter, open-label, dose-finding study of venetoclax administered orally in combination with rituximab (R) or obinutuzumab (G) and standard doses of cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine and oral prednisone (CHOP) in participants with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL). The study consisted of 2 stages: a dose-finding Phase Ib stage and a Phase II expansion stage. In the Phase I portion of the study, participants were randomized to one of 2 treatment arms venetoclax in combination with R-CHOP (Arm A) and venetoclax in combination with G-CHOP (Arm B) and explored the doses of venetoclax in combination with R-CHOP and G-CHOP. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of venetoclax in combination with R-CHOP and G-CHOP was determined during the dose-finding stage. For the Phase II portion of the study, the venetoclax dose for venetoclax + R-CHOP was on a non-continuous dosing schedule as determined by the Phase Ib portion of the study based on safety and tolerability observed in participants treated in the dose escalation portion of the study. On 17 July 2016, Roche/Genentech as the sponsor of Study BO21005 (Goya study), a Phase III study that evaluated G CHOP versus R-CHOP in 1L DLBCL, informed through a press release that the primary endpoint of investigator-assessed PFS was not met. Given these results, Arm B (venetoclax + G-CHOP) was not expanded in Phase II in patients who are first-line with DLBCL.

Primary outcome
Safety: Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs)
Time frame: Start of venetoclax administration (Cycle 1 Day 4 or 3 days after first CHOP dose) up to end of Cycle 2 (cycle length = 21 days)
DLTs were reported according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, Version 4.0 (NCI CTCAE v4.0). Decrease in B cells, lymphopenia, and leukopenia caused by lymphopenia were not considered DLTs but instead were expected outcomes of study treatment. Any Grade >/= 3 adverse event, that was attributed to having a reasonable possibility of being related to the combined administration of venetoclax plus R-CHOP or G-CHOP, that could not be attributed by the investigator to an alternative, clearly identifiable cause such as tumor progression, concurrent illness or medical condition, or concomitant medication and that occurred during the DLT observation period (start of venetoclax treatment through end of Cycle 2) was considered a DLT for dose-escalation purposes. Grade 3 or 4 neutropenia or thrombocytopenia identified on Day 1 of Cycle 2 or 3, resulting in dose delay were considered DLTs.
Percentage of Previously Untreated DLBCL Participants With Complete Response (CR) Defined by Positron Emission Tomography-Computed Tomography (PET/CT) Scan Using the Modified Lugano Classification Assessed by Independent Review Committee (IRC)
Time frame: Baseline up to end of treatment (up to approximately 6 months)
CR was defined as follows according to modified Lugano classification for PET/CT-based response: Lymph nodes and extra-lymphatic sites with score 1, 2, or 3 with or without a residual mass on 5-point scale with 1) no uptake above background; 2) uptake </= mediastinum; 3) uptake < mediastinum but </= liver. No evidence of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-uptake disease in marrow. If the bone marrow was involved by lymphoma prior to treatment, the infiltrate must have cleared on repeat bone marrow biopsy

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 20 Dec 2018). 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?
Safety: Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: Start of venetoclax administration (Cycle 1 Day 4 or 3 days after first CHOP dose) up to end of Cycle 2 (cycle length = 21 days)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02055820, which also lists 3 linked publications.
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?
