Study to Evaluate Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of Tafasitamab With Idelalisib or Venetoclax in R/R CLL/SLL Patients Pretreated With BTKi

A Phase II, Two-Cohort, Open-Label, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of MOR00208 Combined With Idelalisib or Venetoclax in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory CLL/SLL Previously Treated With Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) Inhibitor

Brief summary

This is a two-cohort, multicenter, open-label study of tafasitamab (MOR208) combined with idelalisib or venetoclax in adult patients with R/R CLL or R/R SLL pretreated with a BTK inhibitor (e.g., ibrutinib) as single agent or as part of combination therapy. Patients completing the study treatment are invited to participate in an optional biomarker sub-study.

Detailed description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical safety and preliminary efficacy of tafasitamab (MOR208) combined with idelalisib or venetoclax. The study will include safety run-in phase for each cohort with an evaluation of the safety data by an Independent Data Monitoring Committee. An optional sub-study has been introduced to collect biological samples for investigations on biomarkers (e.g., CD19 expression) after tafasitamab treatment.

Best Objective Response Rate (ORR)

ORR = complete response \[CR\] + partial response \[PR\]; Local Evaluation

Time frame: 2 years

Population: Intention-to-treat patient population consists of all enrolled patients. As per study protocol all patients were required to have computed tomography (CT) scans of the neck, chest, abdomen and pelvis to determine tumor response. These were performed at screening, at Day 1 of Cycles 4, 7, 13, and 19, etc. and at end-of-treatment.
