Brief summary

This research study will be evaluating the safety and efficacy of a study drug called TGR-1202 in combination with a known drug ibrutinib, also known as Imbruvica, as a possible treatment for Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia/Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (CLL/SLL) or Mantle Cell Lymphoma (MCL) that has come back or that has not responded to standard treatment.

Detailed description

This research study is a Phase I and Ib combination clinical trial, which aims to both evaluate the safety of an investigational drug combination and also tries to define the appropriate dose of the investigational drug to evaluate in later clinical trials. Investigational means that the intervention is being studied. It also means that the FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) has not approved TGR-1202 in the United States for use in MCL/CLL/SLL cancers. TGR-1202 is a newly developed drug that may stop cancer cells from growing based on recent laboratory experiments. The results from these experiments suggest this drug may help to kill cancer cells when coupled with ibrutinib. In this research study, the safety and tolerability of TGR-1202 is being investigated to determine the highest dose that can safely be used in combination with ibrutinib. The study is also aimed to evaluate whether TGR-1202 has any effect on tumor growth (nodal response), and to determine the overall repsonse rate and duration of response in patients with CLL/SLL or MCL

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Patients Who Experienced a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) During Phase IParticipants were assessed every week or more often as needed during Cycle 1 or more often for up to 28 days to assess Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) during Phase ITo assess the safety of TGR1202 in combination with ibrutinib relapsed or refractory CLL or MCL. DLT is based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0. DLT refers to toxicities experienced at any time during the study treatment, defined as Grade 4 anemia; Grade 4 neutropenia lasting \>7 days (while receiving growth factor support); Grade 4 thrombocytopenia lasting \> 7 days; Grade ≥3 febrile neutropenia; and Grade ≥3 thrombocytopenia with Grade \>2 hemorrhage;Grade ≥ 3 non-hematologic toxicity unresponsive to standard supportive care measure with the exception of asymptomatic Grade ≥3 lab abnormalities that resolve to ≤ Grade 1 or baseline within 7 days;treatment delay of ≥14 days due to unresolved toxicity; and non-hematologic toxicity of Grade 2 (at any time during treatment) that, in the judgment of the Investigators, Study Chair, and the Medical Monitor, is dose-limiting.

Number of Patients Who Experienced a Dose Limiting Toxicity (DLT) During Phase I

To assess the safety of TGR1202 in combination with ibrutinib relapsed or refractory CLL or MCL. DLT is based on the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0. DLT refers to toxicities experienced at any time during the study treatment, defined as Grade 4 anemia; Grade 4 neutropenia lasting \>7 days (while receiving growth factor support); Grade 4 thrombocytopenia lasting \> 7 days; Grade ≥3 febrile neutropenia; and Grade ≥3 thrombocytopenia with Grade \>2 hemorrhage;Grade ≥ 3 non-hematologic toxicity unresponsive to standard supportive care measure with the exception of asymptomatic Grade ≥3 lab abnormalities that resolve to ≤ Grade 1 or baseline within 7 days;treatment delay of ≥14 days due to unresolved toxicity; and non-hematologic toxicity of Grade 2 (at any time during treatment) that, in the judgment of the Investigators, Study Chair, and the Medical Monitor, is dose-limiting.

Time frame: Participants were assessed every week or more often as needed during Cycle 1 or more often for up to 28 days to assess Dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) during Phase I

Population: Patients who have been previously treated for MCL, CLL or SLL. MCL must have 1 measurable site of disease and have had received at least one prior standard therapy; CLL/SLL patients must have an indication for treatment according to 2008 ICWLL criteria and received at least one prior standard treatment regimen
