Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: 1A) Randomised Question (main randomised component of the trial): To compare the rate of progression free survival (PFS)* of participants with Richter's Syndrome (RS) who are given CHOP-R alone (chemo-immunotherapy, standard of care) against participants with RS who are given CHOP-R plus acalabrutinib (the investigational drug). 1B)Platform Study Questions: Cohort 1: to assess the overall response rate (ORR)** at 6 months of participants who take acalabrutinib alone after relapse with RS or if their disease progressed whilst or after having CHOP-R therapy. Cohort 2: to assess the overall response rate (ORR) of participants after 6 cycles of CHOP-R plus acalabrutinib. *PFS - the length of time during and after the treatment that a patient lives with the disease but it does not get worse **ORR - how well the participant's disease responds to treatment e.g. reaching partial or complete remission ; Secondary Objective: To evaluate: 2a) Overall survival (OS) - how long each of the participants live from day one of the trial. 2b) Randomised question only: overall response rate (ORR) - how many of the participants achieve (for example) a partial or complete remission at the end of CHOP-R treatment. 2c) Cohorts 1 and 2: Progression free survival (PFS)- the length of time during and after the extension study acalabrutinib treatment that the patient lives with the disease but it doesn't get worse. 2d) Quality of Life (QoL) assessed using the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status and the CLL17 and NHL-HG29 questionnaires - this is an assessment of the participants' general well-being and ability to carry out activities in their daily life. 2e) Toxicity - the types, severity, and frequency of side effects that the participants migh | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): (1) Overall survival (OS) defined as time from date of randomisation (for randomised trial) or registration (to the relevant cohort for single-arm cohorts) to date of death from any cause. Participants who are alive at the time of analysis will be censored at date last seen. (Note that participants randomised to receive CHOP-R, who progress on the standard of care arm and are eligible for cohort 1, may enter single-arm Cohort 1 to receive acalabrutinib monotherapy. Their survival time for analysis of the randomised component will be from date of randomisation, and that used for analysis of Cohort 1 will be from date of registration to Cohort 1.) (2) Overall response (ORR) (randomised component only) after cycle 6, defined by the modified Cheson criteria (Appendix 1). CR and PR are considered to be positive responses for assessment of this outcome. Participants who withdraw prior to the post-cycle-6 assessment or do not have the post-cycle-6 assessment will be considered non-responders. (3) Overall response (cohort 1 only) after 12 weeks, defined by the modified Cheson criteria (Appendix 1). CR and PR are considered to be positive responses for assessment of this outcome. Participants who withdraw prior to the 12-week assessment or do not have the 12-week assessment will be considered non-responders. (4) Progression free survival (PFS) (single-arm cohorts only) defined as the time from date of registration to date of progression or death from any cause. Progression will be defined by the modified Cheson criteria (Appendix 1). Participants who are alive and progression free at the time of analysis will be censored at date last seen. Any patients who withdraw or are lost to follow-up will also be censored at date last seen. (5) Quality of Life (QoL), (assessed using ECOG performance status), and the CLL17 and NHL-HG29 questionnaires (Appendix 2)) at the end of cycles 4 and 6 for | — |
