A Study to Evaluate the Effect of Venetoclax on Participants Receiving a Covalent Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (cBTKi) for First-line Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (1L CLL) to Achieve Deep Durable Remissions to Allow Off-treatment Period

Phase II, Open-label, Prospective Single-arm, Multi-center Clinical Trial to Evaluate if Adding Venetoclax to Patients on Covalent BTKi For 1L CLL Can Achieve Deep Durable Remissions (by UMRD 10^-4) to Allow Off-treatment Period

Conditions

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Brief summary

The main purpose of the study is to evaluate if adding venetoclax to participants receiving cBTKi for the 1L CLL can achieve deep durable remissions of undetectable measurable residual disease \[uMRD \< or 10\^-4 in peripheral blood (PB)\] by end of combination treatment (EOCT) to allow off-treatment period. The acronym BRAVE stands for Btki Responders to Achieve deep remission (or off-treatment periods) with VEnetoclax.

Interventions

DRUGVenetoclax

Venetoclax tablets will be administered as per the schedule specified in the arm.

DRUGcBTKi Monotherapy

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
CR/CRi Rate at EOCT as Determined by the Investigator According to International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (iwCLL) GuidelinesUp to approximately 12 monthsComplete response (CR)/complete response with incomplete recovery of the bone marrow (CRi) rate is defined as the percentage of participants with a CR or CRi at EOCT, as determined by the investigator according to the iwCLL.
PR Rate at EOCT as Determined by the Investigator According to iwCLL GuidelinesUp to approximately 12 monthsPR rate is defined as the percentage of participants with a PR at EOCT, as determined by the investigator according to the iwCLL.
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)Up to approximately 13 monthsAE and SAEs will be collected as part of this study at baseline and every clinical visit, until 30 days after the final dose of study treatment.
Number of Participants Who Withdrew Prematurely from the StudyUp to approximately 12 monthsParticipants who discontinued treatment before Cycle 12 Day 28 (cycle length= 28 days).
Overall Survival (OS)Up to approximately 48 monthsOS is defined as the time from the first study treatment to death from any cause.
Progression-free Survival (PFS) as Determined by the Investigator According to iwCLL GuidelinesUp to approximately 48 monthsPFS is defined as the time from the first study treatment to the first occurrence of disease progression (PD) or death from any cause during study, whichever occurs first, as determined by the investigator according to the iwCLL.
Event-free Survival (EFS) as Determined by the Investigator According to iwCLL GuidelinesUp to approximately 48 monthsEFS is defined as the time from the first study treatment to the first occurrence of PD, anti-leukemic treatment subsequent to the study treatment, or death from any cause during study, whichever occurs first, as determined by the investigator according to the iwCLL.
Duration of Response (DOR) in Participants With CR/CRi or PR as Determined by the Investigator According to iwCLL GuidelinesUp to approximately 12 monthsDOR is defined as the time from the first occurrence of a documented objective response (i.e., CR/CRi or PR) to PD or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, as determined by the investigator according to the iwCLL.
DOR in Participants With CR or CRi as Determined by the Investigator According to iwCLL GuidelinesUp to approximately 12 monthsDOR is defined as the time from the first occurrence of a documented objective response (i.e., CR or CRi ) to PD or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, as determined by the investigator according to the iwCLL.
Overall Response Rate (ORR) at EOCT as Determined by the Investigator According to iwCLL GuidelinesUp to approximately 12 monthsORR is defined as the percentage of participants with a CR/CRi or PR at EOCT, as determined by the investigator according to the iwCLL.
Time to Next CLL Treatment (TTNT)Up to approximately 12 monthsTTNT is defined as the time from the first study treatment to the start of anti-leukemic treatment subsequent to the study treatment or death, whichever occurs first.
