Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Clinical Trial
Acalabrutinib Safety Study in Untreated and Relapsed or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Patients
Summary
This is a global, Phase 3b, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of acalabrutinib 100 mg twice daily (bid) in approximately 540 participants with leukemia-cll/" >chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). Participants will be enrolled into 3 cohorts: treatment-naive (TN), relapsed/refractory (R/R), and prior Bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) therapy. Participants will remain on study treatment until completion of 48 cycles (28 days per cycle), disease progression, toxicity requiring discontinuation, withdrawal of consent, lost to Follow-up, death, or study termination by the sponsor whichever occurs first. The duration of the study will be approximately 72 months from the first participant enrolled. This duration includes an estimated 24-month recruitment time and an assumed 48 cycles of study treatment (28 days per cycle); additional study time will be accrued during the disease Follow up period for those participants remaining on study treatment after completion of 48 cycles prior to the final data cutoff (DCO) (the amount of time will vary by participant).
Full Description
This is a Global, Phase 3b, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of acalabrutinib 100 mg bid in approximately 540 participants with CLL. Participants will be enrolled into 3 cohorts: treatment-naive (TN): participants who have had no prior treatment for CLL and who have either a score > 6 on the cumulative illness rating scale and/or have a creatinine clearance of 30 to 69 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation (minimum of 300 participants), relapsed/refractory (R/R): participants who have received prior treatment for CLL and who have either relapsed or refractory CLL (approximately 200 participants), and prior bruton tyrosine kinase inhibitor (BTKi) therapy: participants who have received prior ibrutinib for CLL and who discontinued the medication for any reason prior to disease progression (up to 40 participants). Overall response and progression assessments will be conducted by the investigator in accordance with the International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) 2018 criteria. Overall response assessments will be based on evaluation of physical examinations, recording of symptoms, radiologic evaluations, and hematologic evaluations.
Treatment period consists of 48 cycles [each cycle is 28 days). Study treatment (acalabrutinib 100 mg bid) will be administered until disease progression, toxicity requiring discontinuation, completion of 48 cycles of study treatment, withdrawal of consent, loss to follow-up, death, or study termination by the sponsor, whichever comes first.
48 Cycles: From Cycle 1 to Cycle 6, in-clinic visits will occur every cycle and during each visit, in-clinic assessments will be carried out. From Cycle 6 to Cycle 12, in-clinic visits will occur every 3 cycles and during each visit, in-clinic assessments will be carried out. From Cycle 13 to Cycle 48, in-clinic visits will occur every 3 cycles and in-clinic assessments will be carried out every 6 cycles.
Safety follow up visits will occur approximately 30 days from the last dose of study treatment.
If a participant continues to derive benefit from treatment at the end of 48 cycles prior to the final DCO, they will continue to be provided with study treatment. Post-DCO, 2 options will be considered: patients may be transitioned to another study or may shift to a commercial supply of acalabrutinib/off-study acalabrutinib as permitted by local regulation. Subjects who switch to off-study acalabrutinib will be considered as having completed the study and therefore will not have any additional study assessments, including the disease Follow-up period.
The duration of the study will be approximately 72 months from the first participant enrolled. This duration includes an estimated 24-month recruitment time and an assumed 48 cycles of study treatment (28 days per cycle); additional study time will be accrued during the Follow-up period for those participants remaining on study treatment after completion of 48 cycles prior to the final DCO (the amount of time will vary by participant).
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
Men and women ≥18 years of age (or the legal age of consent in the jurisdiction in which the study is taking place)
Diagnosis of CLL that meets all published diagnostic criteria (Hallek et al. 2018):

In subjects with initial blood lymphocyte counts of <30x10^9/L (30,000/μL), LDT should not be used as a single parameter to define indication for treatment. In addition, factors contributing to lymphocytosis or lymphadenopathy other than CLL (e.g., infections) should be excluded.
Autoimmune anemia and/or thrombocytopenia that is poorly responsive to standard therapy
B-symptoms documented in the subject's chart with supportive objective measures, as appropriate, defined as ≥1 of the following disease-related symptoms or signs: o- Unintentional weight loss ≥10% within the previous 6 months before screening o- Significant fatigue (Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group [ECOG] performance status ≥2; inability to work or perform usual activities) o- Fevers higher than 100.5°F or 38.0°C for ≥2 weeks o- Night sweats for ≥1 month before screening without evidence of infection
Must meet 1 of the following criteria:

Subjects must also have molecular analysis to detect IGHV mutation status (NGS is the preferred method) at screening if not done at any time point before that since diagnosis.
Each subject (or legally authorized representative if allowed per local regulations) must be willing and able to adhere to the study visit schedule, understand and comply with other protocol requirements, and provide written informed consent and authorization to use protected health information.
Exclusion Criteria:

Evidence of active Richter's transformation. If Richter's transformation is suspected (i.e., lactate dehydrogenase [LDH] increased, asymmetric fast lymph node growth or clinical suspicion), it should be ruled out with positron emission tomographycomputed tomography (PET-CT) and/or biopsy according to guidelines.
Central nervous system (CNS) involvement by CLL.
Known history of human immunodeficiency virus, serologic status reflecting active hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C virus infection, any uncontrolled active systemic infection along with subjects who are on ongoing anti-infective treatment and subjects who have received vaccination with a live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks before the first dose of study treatment.
Subjects who are hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) positive and who are hepatitis B surface antibody (anti-HBs) negative will need to have a negative hepatitis B virus PCR result before enrollment. Those who are hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive or hepatitis B virus PCR positive will be excluded.
Subjects who are hepatitis C virus antibody positive will need to have a negative hepatitis C virus PCR result before enroll.lment. Those who are hepatitis C virus PCR positive will be excluded

All subjects requiring or receiving anticoagulation with warfarin or equivalent vitamin K antagonists (e.g., phenprocoumon) within 7 days before first dose of study treatment. Based on the known metabolic/transport pathways involved in the disposition of acalabrutinib and the commonly known novel oral anticoagulants (eg, apixaban, rivaroxaban, and edoxaban), no clinically relevant interaction is expected following coadministration of these agents.
Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) <0.50 x 10^9/L or platelet count <30 x 10^9/L, unless proven due to CLL and raised above the limits by granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) therapy and/or pooled platelet transfusion
Total bilirubin >3.0x upper limit of normal (ULN); or aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase >3.0x ULN. Exception will be for Gilbert syndrome; if an investigator feels that a subject's total bilirubin is elevated secondary to Gilbert's, the subject must have a documented unconjugated bilirubin being >80% of the total bilirubin number. The investigator must also document that hemolysis has been ruled out along with (near)-normal lactate dehydrogenase and haptoglobin
