Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of ibrutinib in combination with obinutuzumab compared to chlorambucil in combination with obinutuzumab based on the Independent Review Committee (IRC) assessment of progression-free survival (PFS) in subjects with treatment-naive chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL);Secondary Objective: To compare the treatment groups in terms of the following: Efficacy • Overall response rate (ORR) according to International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) 2008 criteria, as assessed by the IRC • Rate of minimal residual disease (MRD)-negative responses • Overall Survival • Hematological improvement measured by platelet and hemoglobin counts • Patient-reported outcomes (PRO) as measured by European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire EuroQoL Five-Dimension (EQ-5D-5L) Safety • To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ibrutinib in combination with obinutuzumab compared with chlorambucil in combination with obinutuzumab •To evaluate obinutuzumab-related infusion reactions by treatment arm;Primary end point(s): The primary endpoint of this study is progression-free survival (PFS) as assessed by IRC review, according to IWCLL 2008 criteria. PFS will be analyzed comparing the 2 treatment arms using a log-rank test. Distribution of PFS will be summarized for each treatment arm using the Kaplan-Meier estimate of median and its corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI). The estimate of the hazard ratio and its corresponding 95% CI will be computed using a Cox proportional hazards model.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The endpoints will be determined once there are 94 events in approximately 36 months from the first subject randomized.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): -Overall response rate: the chi-square test will be used to compare the two treatment arms. • Rate of MRD-negative response: the chi-square test will be used to compare the two treatment arms. • Overall survival: the two treatment arms will be summarized using Kaplan-Meier point estimates • Hematological improvement: in the subset of subjects with cytopenia(s) at baseline, the percentage of subjects with hematological improvement in the two treatment arms will be measured and compared using the chi-square test. • EQ-5D-5L: the scores for the five categorical dimensions will be used to compute a single utility score ranging representing the general health status of the subject. The change in utility score from baseline will be summarized. Methods will be detailed in SAP.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The endpoints will be determined once there are 94 events in approximately 36 months from the first subject randomized.
