Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PCI-32765 (ibrutinib) administered in combination with either bendamustine and rituximab (BR) or rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) in adult participants with previously treated indolent Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
Detailed description
This is a randomized (individuals assigned to study treatment by chance), double-blind (individuals and study personnel will not know the identity of study treatments), placebo (an inactive substance that is compared with a drug to test whether the drug has a real effect in a clinical trial)-controlled study in approximately 400 adult participants with follicular lymphoma or marginal zone lymphoma. The study will include the following phases: Screening, Treatment, and a Post-treatment Follow-up. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either treatment Arm A (background immune-chemotherapy + placebo) or treatment Arm B (background immune-chemotherapy + 560 milligram \[mg\] of ibrutinib). All participants will receive 6 cycles of background immune-chemotherapy with either BR or R-CHOP in combination with either placebo (Arm A) or ibrutinib (Arm B). Selection of background immune-chemotherapy will be based on prior treatment history and cardiac function. After completion of background immune-chemotherapy, study drug (ibrutinib or placebo) will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or study end, whichever comes first. Assessment of tumor response and progression will be conducted in accordance with the Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma. Serial pharmacokinetic (study of what a drug does to the body) blood samples will be collected. Safety will be assessed throughout the study.
Interventions
90 milligram per meter square (mg/m\^2) administered intravenously on Days 1 to 2 of Cycles 1 to 6.
375 mg/m\^2 administered intravenously on Day 1 of Cycles 1 to 6.

50 mg/m\^2 administered intravenously on Day 1 of Cycles 1 to 6.
1.4 mg/m\^2 (maximum total 2 mg) administered intravenously on Day 1 of Cycles 1 to 6.
100 mg administered orally on Days 1 to 5 of Cycles 1 to 6.
560 mg (4\*140 mg) capsules administered orally once daily, continuously starting on Cycle 1, Day 1.
Placebo (4 capsules) matched to ibrutinib administered orally once daily, continuously starting on Cycle 1, Day 1.

Supplementary Analysis: Complete Response Rate: Unstratified Analysis - Participants With MZL
CRR in MZL participants was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a CR (based on investigator assessment) on or prior to the initiation of subsequent antilymphoma therapy. Criteria for CR: disappearance of all evidence of disease; mass of any size permitted if PET negative; regression to normal size on CT; spleen and liver: not palpable, nodules disappeared; bone marrow: infiltrate cleared on repeat biopsy and no new sites of disease detected during assessment. Kaplan-Meier method was used for the analysis. For this outcome measure, unstratified analysis was performed on participants with MZL.
Time frame: Up to 8 years
Population: All randomized participants who were enrolled with MZL and were analyzed according to the treatment to which they were randomized.
| Arm | Measure | Value (NUMBER) |
|---|---|---|
| Placebo + Chemoimmunotherapy (CIT) | Supplementary Analysis: Complete Response Rate: Unstratified Analysis - Participants With MZL | 60.7 percentage of participants |
| Ibrutinib + CIT | Supplementary Analysis: Complete Response Rate: Unstratified Analysis - Participants With MZL | 64.3 percentage of participants |
Supplementary Analysis: Duration of Response: Unstratified Analysis - Participants With MZL
DOR in MZL participants was defined as the interval (in months) between the date of initial documentation of response (CR or PR) and the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease (or relapse for participants who experienced CR during the study) or death, whichever occurred first. Criteria for CR: disappearance of all evidence of disease; mass of any size permitted if PET negative; regression to normal size on CT; spleen and liver: not palpable, nodules disappeared; bone marrow: infiltrate cleared on repeat biopsy and no new sites of disease detected during assessment. Criteria for PR: \>=50% decrease in sum of the diameter of all target lesions compared with baseline, in absence of new lesions or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions. Kaplan-Meier method was used for the analysis. For this outcome measure, unstratified analysis was performed on participants with MZL.
Time frame: Up to 8 years
Population: All randomized participants who were enrolled with MZL and were analyzed according to the treatment to which they were randomized. Participants who achieved a PR or better were included in the analysis of duration of response.

Supplementary Analysis: Overall Response Rate: Unstratified Analysis - Participants With MZL
ORR in MZL participants was defined as the percentage of participants who achieved a CR or PR. Criteria for CR: disappearance of all evidence of disease; mass of any size permitted if PET negative; regression to normal size on CT; spleen and liver: not palpable, nodules disappeared; bone marrow: infiltrate cleared on repeat biopsy and no new sites of disease detected during assessment. Criteria for PR: \>=50% decrease in sum of the diameter of all target lesions compared with baseline, in absence of new lesions or unequivocal progression of non-target lesions.

Supplementary Analysis: Overall Survival: Unstratified Analysis - Participants With MZL
OS in MZL participants was defined as the interval (in months) between the date of randomization and the date of the participant's death due to any cause. Kaplan-Meier method was used for the analysis. For this outcome measure, unstratified analysis was performed on participants with MZL.
Time frame: Up to 8 years
Population: All randomized participants who were enrolled with MZL and were analyzed according to the treatment to which they were randomized.

Supplementary Analysis: Time to Worsening (TTW) in the Lymphoma (Lym) Subscale of the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy - Lymphoma Subscale (FACT-LymS) Questionnaire: Participants With MZL
TTW in MZL participants in the Lymphoma subscale of the FACT-Lym was defined as the time (in months) from the date of randomization to the start date of the worsening of participant symptoms. Worsening was defined by a 5-point decrease from baseline in participant symptoms. FACT-Lym Lymphoma subscale contains 15 questions, scores from 0 to 4 for each question (0 = not at all, 1 = a little bit, 2 = some what, 3 = quite a bit and 4 = very much, where the higher score indicated worse condition). Lymphoma subscale score is the total of reverse scores, range 0 to 60. Higher scores indicate a better quality of life.
Time frame: Up to 8 years
Population: All randomized participants who were enrolled with MZL and were analyzed according to the treatment to which they were randomized.
