About this study

The aim of the current trial is to evaluate if combination treatment with venetoclax + ibrutinib in patients with relapsed or refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (RR CLL) can lead to MRD negativity, which may induce long lasting remissions for MRD-negative patients randomized to stopping treatment after 15 induction cycles.

Being tested
Ibrutinib + Venetoclax 15 cycles, Ibrutinib until progression/relapse, Possible reinitiation treatment: Ibrutinib + Venetoclax 12 cycles

Model description
All patients receive ibrutinib + venetoclax (with delayed start and ramp up of venetoclax from cycle 3) for the 15 cycles. Patients not achieving MRD negativity after cycle 12 (PB) AND/OR cycle 15 (PB+BM) continue on ibrutinib maintenance (non-randomized group). Patients achieving MRD negativity after cycle 12 (PB) AND cycle 15 (PB+BM) are randomized 1:2 between ibrutinib maintenance (arm A) and stopping treatment (observation, arm B).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ibrutinib + Venetoclax 15 cycles, Ibrutinib until progression/relapse and Possible reinitiation treatment: Ibrutinib + Venetoclax 12 cycles in people with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia in Relapse and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia in Remission, run by Stichting Hemato-Oncologie voor Volwassenen Nederland at 49 sites in 6 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 17 inclusion and 15 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 Aug 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 49 sites in Netherlands, Denmark, Belgium, Finland, Sweden and 1 more country. 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 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

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 progression free survival 27 months after starting treatment (time frame: 27 months after last patient in trial). 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 NCT03226301, 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 Aug 2022.
