Brief summary

Combination study of monalizumab (IPH2201) with Ibrutinib in relapsed, refractory or previously untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) patients in 2 parts : * phase 1 : a 3+3 design to assess the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) * phase 2: to evaluate the anti-leukemic activity of the combination

Detailed description

This trial was designated to test the hypothesis that the combination of ibrutinib and IPH2201 will result in a substantial complete response (CR) rate, especially CR without minimal residual disease (MRD), as this has been shown to be associated with long-term clinical benefit. Up to 45 patients were planned to be enrolled. During the phase 1 part a 3+3 dose escalation design was employed. Four doses were planned to be assessed if the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) was not previously reached: 1, 2, 4 and 10 mg/kg. During phase 2 part, patients received monalizumab in combination with ibrutinib; monalizumab was given at the dose recommended upon completion of the phase I portion. The primary objective of the phase 1 was to assess the safety of monalizumab given intravenously as a single agent and in combination with ibrutinib in patients with relapsed, refractory or previously untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. The primary objective of the phase 2 was to evaluate the anti-leukemic activity of the combination of monalizumab and ibrutinib in patients with relapsed, refractory or previously untreated Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.

Interventions

DRUGmonalizumab

During phase 1, patients received monalizumab, IV, at the dose of 1, 2 or 4mg/kg, as a single agent during 4 weeks and thereafter combined with ibrutinib 420 mg, orally, once daily, during 52 weeks. During phase 2, patients received monalizumab, IV, at the dose recommended upon completion of phase 1, combined with ibrutinib 420 mg orally, once daily, from the first cycle, during 52 weeks. In both parts of the trial, the first 4 administrations of monalizumab (from week 0 to week 6) occured every 2 weeks. From the 5th administration monalizumab was administered every 4 weeks.

Number of Dose Limiting Toxicities8 weeksNumber of dose-limiting toxicities, measured during the phase 1, dose escalation, part of the study.
Rate of Complete Response (CR)CR assessed 52 weeks after the beginning of combination treatmentThe rate of complete response (CR) was evaluated using the International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) grading scale and confirmed by a bone marrow biopsy. Per International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL), Complete Response (CR) is defined as lymphocytes \<4x109/l, absence of lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly and splenomegaly at CT scan, no constitutional symptoms, no cytopenia, normocellular bone marrow. Partial Response (PR) is a reduction \> 50% in lymphocytes, lymphadenopathy, spleen or liver, no cytopenia. PD if appearance of any new lesion, or increase in lymphocytes \> 50%, or occurrence of cytopenia attributable to CLL.

Best Overall Response / Remission RatesFrom beginning of study drug treatment to the end of study (up to 24 months)Measure of best overall response at any time during the study. cCR: confirmed complete response/remission; uCR: unconfirmed complete response / remission; PR: partial response/remission; SD: stable disease; PD: progressive disease. Per International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL), Complete Response (CR) is defined as lymphocytes \<4x109/l, absence of lymphadenopathy, hepatomegaly and splenomegaly at CT scan, no constitutional symptoms, no cytopenia, normocellular bone marrow. Partial Response (PR) is a reduction \> 50% in lymphocytes, lymphadenopathy, spleen or liver, no cytopenia. PD if appearance of any new lesion, or increase in lymphocytes \> 50%, or occurrence of cytopenia attributable to CLL. In order to have a confirmed CR (cCR), the CR must be confirmed by a scan and a bone marrow assessment assessed at least 2 months after the first occurrence of CR. Otherwise it would be an unconfirmed CR (uCR).
Duration of RemissionUp to 24 monthsThe duration of remission (DOR) is defined as the time from the date of first evaluation of the remission (cCR, uCR or PR) to the first documentation of progressive disease, relapsed disease or death. In case an assessment of progressive / relapsed disease or death does not exist, the DOR was censored at the time of the last disease assessment date. The DOR was calculated only for the patients with a remission that was assessed at 52 weeks.
Progression Free SurvivalUp to 24 monthsThe Progression Free Survival (PFS) is defined as the time from first dose administration until the occurrence of progressive disease, relapsed disease or death from any cause. Patients without an event at the time of the analyse were censored at his or her last disease assessment date. Patients with no post-Baseline assessment were censored at the day of the first dose administration.
Overall SurvivalUp to 24 months.The overall survival (OS) is defined as the time from first dose administration until death from any cause. Alive patients were censored at the most recent date they were known to be alive. Subjects with no assessment post-Baseline were censored at the day of the first dose administration.

Recruitment details

It was anticipated that up to 24 patients (3 to 6 patients; 4 dose levels) would be enrolled in Phase 1 part of the study and up to 24 patients in the Phase 2 part with a total of up to 45 patients in the trial. A total of 22 patients were actually enrolled in the study: 13 patients in the Phase 1 part and 9 patients in the Phase 2 part.

Pre-assignment details

The first part of the study had a 3+3 design. Four dose levels of monalizumab were planned: 1 mg/kg, 2 mg/kg, 4 mg/kg and 10 mg/kg. Dose-escalation decisions were made by a Safety Committee.The dose of monalizumab for all patients in phase 2 of the study (2 mg/kg) was also chosen by the Safety Committee based on phase 1 data.

Duration of Remission

The duration of remission (DOR) is defined as the time from the date of first evaluation of the remission (cCR, uCR or PR) to the first documentation of progressive disease, relapsed disease or death. In case an assessment of progressive / relapsed disease or death does not exist, the DOR was censored at the time of the last disease assessment date. The DOR was calculated only for the patients with a remission that was assessed at 52 weeks.

Time frame: Up to 24 months

Population: 21 patients evaluated for efficacy. 1 patient treated at 4 mg/kg was withdrawn due to grade 3 hemolytic anemia attribuated to disease progression at W4 and considered as not evaluable for efficacy. Due to the small size of the trial no subgroup analyses have been conducted.
