About this study

Official title: Phase Ib Dose Finding Study of ABT-199 (A-1195425.0) Plus Ibrutinib (PCI-32765) and Rituximab in Patients With Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large B-cell NHL (DLBCL)

A Study of Venetoclax Plus Ibrutinib and Rituximab in Patients with Relapsed/Refractory Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL).

Our hypothesis is that the combination therapy of BTK (Bruton's tyrosine kinase) Inhibitor Ibrutinib plus Venetoclax and Rituximab in relapsed or refractory DLBCL will have an increased activity with acceptable toxicity. Furthermore, this new novel therapeutic combination will be safe and well tolerated among this patient population.

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 1b, single-arm, open-label, single-center study of venetoclax (ABT-199) in combination with ibrutinib and rituximab in Subjects with Relapsed/Refractory DLBCL. The trial consists of a dose-escalation of venetoclax in combination with standard doses of ibrutinib and rituximab. For the dose escalation part of the study, a standard 3+3 design will be utilized. Once the MTD has been established, the dose escalation part will be followed by a dose expansion part in a cohort with a maximum of 24 subjects with DLBCL. The purpose of the dose expansion part is to investigate the efficacy of the combination. Between the dose-escalation and dose-expansion, the maximum number of subjects will be 30.

Cycle length will be 28 days. Venetoclax will be administered orally QD (Once Daily), continuously for 24 cycles. Ibrutinib will be administered orally QD, continuously for 24 cycles. Rituximab will be administered IV per institutional standards. weekly X 4 (Cycle 1); once on Day 1 of cycles 2-6 only, then every other cycle until Cycle 24 (total 18 doses of Rituxan from C1D1), Commercially available rituximab IV will be used.

What is being measured

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

  1. Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD)

    Define maximum tolerated dose and /or recommended phase II dose for the combinations of venetoclax (ABT-199, GDC-0199) plus Ibrutinib (PCI-32765) and rituximab in Relapsed or Refractory DLBCL by assessing the incidence of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs).

    Measured: 29 days

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events.

    Adverse events will be assessed using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE), version 4.03.

    Measured: 36 Months

  2. Efficacy as Assessed by Progression Free Survival (PFS)

    The duration of PFS is defined as the time from the beginning of the first cycle of treatment to the date of progressive disease or death from any cause. PFS will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: 36 Months

  3. Efficacy as Assessed by Overall Survival (OS)

    The duration of OS is defined as the time from the beginning of the first cycle of treatment to the date of death from any cause. OS will be estimated using Kaplan-Meier method.

    Measured: 36 Months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing 400mg ABT-199, Ibrutinib and Rituximab in people with Relapsed Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma and Refractory Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma, run by Hackensack Meridian Health at 1 site in United States.

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 16 inclusion and 27 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Sep 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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 23 Sep 2024). 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?

Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) (time frame: 29 days). 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 NCT03136497, which also lists 45 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 23 Sep 2024.
