Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate if the addition of acalabrutinib to RCHOP prolongs PFS, as compared with placebo plus R-CHOP alone in subjects =75 years with previously untreated non-GCB DLBCL (ABC or unclassified) selected by GEP, based on investigator-assessed response.;Secondary Objective: - To evaluate EFS with acalabrutinib plus R-CHOP compared with placebo plus R-CHOP in subject =75 years with previously untreated non-GCB DLBCL (ABC or unclassified) selected by GEP, as assessed by investigator - To evaluate CR rate with acalabrutinib plus R-CHOP compared with placebo plus R-CHOP in subjects =75 years with previously untreated non-GCB DLBCL (ABC or unclassified) selected by GEP, as assessed by BICR (Blinded Independent Central Review) - To evaluate overall survival (OS) with acalabrutinib plus R-CHOP compared with placebo plus R-CHOP in subjects =75 years with previously untreated non-GCB DLBCL (ABC or unclassified) selected by GEP;Primary end point(s): Progression-free survival (PFS) per the Lugano Classification for NHL in Arm A compared to Arm B;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: At every single visit up to 60 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): 1. Investigator-assessed event-free survival (EFS) for NHL in Arm A compared to Arm B 2. Percentage of Participants Who Achieved a Complete Response (CR) per 2014 Lugano Classification at the end of study treatment. 3. Overall survival in Arm A compared to Arm B;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 1. EFS: at every single visit up to 60 months 2. CR: at every single visit up to 60 months 3. OS: at every single visit up to 60 months
