About this study
Official title: A Phase 3, Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel-Group Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Lenalidomide (Revlimid®) as Maintenance Therapy for Patients With B-Cell Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Following Second-Line Therapy (The Continuum Trial)
The purpose of this study is to determine if lenalidomide (Revlimid®) is safe and effective as a maintenance therapy at improving further the quality of the response you achieved with your last therapy and at prolonging the duration of your response. This study will compare the effects (good and bad) of lenalidomide with the dummy drug.
Read the detailed description
This is a phase 3, randomized (computer assigned by chance to treatment arm), study being completed an multiple sites to compare the safety and efficacy (how well a drug works) of lenalidomide maintenance therapy to placebo (dummy capsule that contains no lenalidomide or active substances) maintenance therapy.
Patients are assigned by a computer with a 50/50 chance to receive placebo or lenalidomide study treatment. Study drug will be taken once each day until the patient discontinues the study. Patients will remain on study drug until progression of disease.
Patients will visit their study doctor every 28 days until disease progression to complete safety and efficacy assessments. Quality of life assessments will be completed every other month. If a patient who discontinue study drug prior to disease progression (i.e. due to an adverse reaction to the study drug), they will continue to visit the study doctor each month to complete the efficacy assessments up to progression of disease. Safety assessments may include laboratory blood tests, ECG tests and questions about any medical conditions or side effects experienced during the study. Efficacy assessments may include laboratory blood tests and focused physical exams.
Computed tomography (CT) scans along with blood tests and bone marrow samples will be collected to confirm if a patient has improvement of response while on study.
After disease progression, patients will be contacted every 12 weeks for survival information, next CLL treatments and quality of life questions.
Subjects currently on lenalidomide treatment will discontinue lenalidomide treatment immediately and complete the Treatment Discontinuation assessment. The subjects will then transition to the survival follow-up period.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
LenalidomideDrug
Also called Revlimid
Lenalidomide capsules given orally on days 1-28 of a 28 day cycle
PlaceboDrug
Placebo capsules given orally on days 1 - 28 of a 28 day cycle
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Experimental: 1 | Experimental | Lenalidomide po qd on days 1-28 of a 28 day cycle Receives: Drug: Lenalidomide |
| Placebo Comparator: 2 | Placebo comparator | Placebo capsules given orally on days 1-28 of a 28 day cycle Receives: Drug: Placebo |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Overall Survival (OS)
Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. OS will be censored at the last date that the participant was known to be alive for participants who were alive at the time of analysis and for participants who were lost to follow-up before death was documented.
Measured: Up to approximately 11 years
Secondary outcomes (2)
Progression Free Survival 2 (PFS2)
Progression Free Survival (PFS2) assessed by investigator is defined as the time from randomization to the second objective disease progression, or death from any cause, whichever occurs first.
Measured: Up to 6 years
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Number of participants with adverse events (AEs) that measure type, frequency and severity of AEs graded by National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria (NCI CTCAE V 3.0) including any grade adverse events (AEs), Grade 3-4 AEs, AEs related to study drug, grade 3-4 AEs related to study drug.
Measured: From first dose to 30 days post last dose (up to 9 years)

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The purpose of this study is to determine if lenalidomide (Revlimid®) is safe and effective as a maintenance therapy at improving further the quality of the response you achieved with your last therapy and at prolonging the duration of your response. This study will compare the effects (good and bad) of lenalidomide with the dummy drug.
Detailed description
This is a phase 3, randomized (computer assigned by chance to treatment arm), study being completed an multiple sites to compare the safety and efficacy (how well a drug works) of lenalidomide maintenance therapy to placebo (dummy capsule that contains no lenalidomide or active substances) maintenance therapy.
Patients are assigned by a computer with a 50/50 chance to receive placebo or lenalidomide study treatment. Study drug will be taken once each day until the patient discontinues the study. Patients will remain on study drug until progression of disease.
Patients will visit their study doctor every 28 days until disease progression to complete safety and efficacy assessments. Quality of life assessments will be completed every other month. If a patient who discontinue study drug prior to disease progression (i.e. due to an adverse reaction to the study drug), they will continue to visit the study doctor each month to complete the efficacy assessments up to progression of disease. Safety assessments may include laboratory blood tests, ECG tests and questions about any medical conditions or side effects experienced during the study. Efficacy assessments may include laboratory blood tests and focused physical exams.
Computed tomography (CT) scans along with blood tests and bone marrow samples will be collected to confirm if a patient has improvement of response while on study.
After disease progression, patients will be contacted every 12 weeks for survival information, next CLL treatments and quality of life questions.
Subjects currently on lenalidomide treatment will discontinue lenalidomide treatment immediately and complete the Treatment Discontinuation assessment. The subjects will then transition to the survival follow-up period.

Primary outcome
Overall Survival (OS)
Time frame: Up to approximately 11 years
Overall Survival (OS) is defined as the time from randomization to death from any cause. OS will be censored at the last date that the participant was known to be alive for participants who were alive at the time of analysis and for participants who were lost to follow-up before death was documented.
2 secondary outcomes
Progression Free Survival 2 (PFS2)
Time frame: Up to 6 years
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Time frame: From first dose to 30 days post last dose (up to 9 years)
