This is a phase 2/3 open label, multicenter trial testing blinatumomab monotherapy for the treatment of subjects with R/R aggressive B-NHL not achieving CMR after standard platinum-based chemotherapy regimens administered as S1. This study incorporates multiple interim analyses for futility, efficacy, and unblinded sample-size re-estimation. In the phase 3 part of the study, blinatumomab will be compared to IC chemotherapy.The phase 2 component of the study will consist of up to a 28-day screening period, approximately 70 to 112 days of study treatment, a 30-day (+/- 3days) safety follow up, and long-term follow up that will conclude with the final analysis of the phase 3 component, estimated at 30 months after initiation of the phase 3 component. For the phase 3 component, the study will consist of up to a 28-day screening period, a treatment period of up to approximately 168 days, a 30-day safety follow-up visit, and long-term follow up. Long-term follow up will conclude with the final analysis.In the phase 2 component, enrolled subjects will receive blinatumomab monotherapy. In the phase 3 component, enrolled subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to blinatumomab or IC chemotherapy.

In March 2019, decision made to not proceed with phase 3.

Study groups in NCT02910063
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
BlinatumomabExperimentalBlinatumomab is administered as a continuous intravenous infusion (CIVI). A single cycle of blinatumomab is continuous infusion with step dosing of 9 µg/day x 7 days, 28 µg/day x 7 days, and 112 µg/days until the end of the cycle.
Receives: Drug: Blinatumomab

What is being measured

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

  1. Phase 2: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Complete Metabolic Response (CMR)

    Complete metabolic response (CMR) was determined by central radiographic assessment of positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) scans using the Lugano Classification.

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks after first dose of blinatumomab

  2. Phase 3: Number of Participants Who Achieved Complete Metabolic Response (CMR)

    Complete metabolic response (CMR) was determined by central radiographic assessment of positron emission tomography and computed tomography (PET/CT) scans using the Lugano Classification.

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks after first dose of study treatment

Secondary outcomes (22)
  1. Phase 2: Overall Survival (OS)

    OS was defined as the time from the date of randomization until death due to any cause.

    OS was calculated using Kaplan-Meier estimates.

    Measured: From randomization until the end of study, up to 30 months

  2. Phase 2: Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    ORR is inclusive of all participants who achieved CMR or those who achieved partial metabolic response (PMR), as determined by central radiographic assessment of PET/CT scans using the Lugano Classification.

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks after first dose of blinatumomab

  3. Phase 2: Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    PFS was defined as the time from start of treatment with blinatumomab until the date of diagnosis of progression of lymphoma, or date of death, whichever is earliest. PFS was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: From first dose of blinatumomab until the end of study, up to 30 months

  4. Phase 2: Duration of Response (DOR)

    DOR was calculated only for participants who achieve a response (CMR or PMR). The duration was calculated from the date a response, CMR or PMR, was first achieved until the earliest date of a disease assessment indicating disease progression or death, whichever occured first. DOR was estimated using Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: From first dose of blinatumomab up to 12 weeks

  5. Phase 2: Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Successful Mobilization

    Successful mobilization rate was defined as the percentage of participants who initiated mobilization while in remission and without any other anti-tumor therapy where the mobilization procedure had an outcome of 'Successful'. Successful mobilization was dictated by institutional standards and defined when the target cell dose was no less than 2 x 10^6 CD34+ cells/kg.

    Measured: From first dose of blinatumomab until the end of study, up to 30 months

  6. Phase 2: Percentage of Participants Who Had Allogeneic or Autologous Post-baseline Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT)

    The percentage of responders per investigator's review (participants who achieved either CMR or PMR during the treatment) who have undergone allogeneic (allo) HSCT or autologous (auto) HSCT while in remission and without any other anti-cancer treatment.

    Measured: From baseline HSCT until the end of study, up to 30 months

  7. Phase 2: Cumulative Incidence Function Estimate of 100-day Mortality After HSCT Presented as Percentage of Participants That Died Not Due to Relapse, With Relapse and Death Due to Relapse as Competing Events

    Non-relapse mortality rate at 100 days after HSCT was calculated as the percentage of participants who died not due to relapse. Only participants who achieved a response per investigator's review and underwent autoHSCT are included.

    Measured: 100 days after HSCT

  8. Phase 2: Blinatumomab Steady State Concentrations (Css)

    Pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters were estimated by non compartmental analysis. The Css of blinatumomab was summarized as the observed concentrations collected after at least 24 hours after the start of continuous IV infusion or start of dose step, where appropriate.

    Measured: Pre-dose on Day 1, and post-dose on Days 2, 9 and 16 of Cycle 1 (Cycle 1 was 70 days)

  9. Phase 2: Blinatumomab Clearance (CL)

    Serum blinatumomab CL was calculated as CL=R0/Css,DN; where R0 is the infusion rate (μg/hr) and Css,DN is the dose normalized average Css. For the CL calculation, the Css,DN was normalized to the 112 μg/day dose in which the value of dose in units of μg/hr was used for the infusion rate.

    Measured: Pre-dose on Day 1, and post-dose on Days 2, 9 and 16 of Cycle 1 (Cycle 1 was 70 days)

  10. Phase 2: Half-life of Blinatumomab

    Measured: Pre-dose on Day 1, and Days 2, 9 and 16 of Cycle 1 (Cycle 1 was 70 days)

  11. Phase 2: Number of Participants Who Experienced a Treatment-emergent Adverse Event (TEAE)

    Treatment-emergent adverse events were events with an onset after the administration of the first dose of blinatumomab.

    TEAEs were graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE).

    Grade 2 Moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limited age appropriate instrumental activities of daily life (ADL).

    Grade 3 Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization or prolonged hospitalization indicated; disabling; limited self care ADL.

    Grade 4 Life-threatening consequences; urgent interventions indicated.

    Measured: From first dose of blinatumomab until 30 days after last dose. The maximum treatment duration for blinatumomab was 114 days

  12. Phase 3: Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    Measured: Up to 12 weeks after first dose of study treatment

  13. Phase 3: Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    Measured: From first dose of study treatment until the end of study, up to 30 months

  14. Phase 3: Duration of Response (DOR)

    Measured: From first dose of study treatment up to 12 weeks

  15. Phase 3: Percentage of Participants Who Experienced Successful Mobilization

    Measured: From baseline until the end of study, up to 30 months

  16. Phase 3: Percentage of Participants Who Had Allogeneic or Autologous Post-baseline Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT)

    Measured: From baseline HSCT until the end of study, up to 30 months

  17. Phase 3: Percentage of Participants Who Died Within 100 Days After Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) That Was Not Due to Relapse

A Phase 2/3 study testing Blinatumomab in people with B-Cell Non Hodgkin Lymphoma, run by Amgen at 31 sites in 8 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 18 inclusion and 19 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 13 Jan 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 31 sites in Italy, Spain, Australia, United States, Belgium and 3 more countries. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 13 Jan 2021). 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?

Phase 2: Percentage of Participants Who Achieved Complete Metabolic Response (CMR) (time frame: Up to 12 weeks after first dose of blinatumomab). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02910063, 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 13 Jan 2021.
