About this study

Official title: A Phase II Study of Ofatumumab in Combination With High-dose Methylprednisolone in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL)

Patients who have relapsed/refractory CLL and require therapy as per iwCLL guidelines will be eligible. Subjects will receive a treatment with ofatumumab and HDMP for three consecutive 4 week cycles. The primary endpoint is to determine the complete response (CR) to therapy and the secondary endpoints will assess the safety and tolerability of the regimen, the impact of the treatment on progression free, treatment free, overall survival, and pharmacokinetics of ofatumumab. Patients will receive allopurinol for tumor-lysis prophylaxis and antimicrobial prophylaxis.

Patients who have relapsed/refractory CLL and require therapy as per iwCLL guidelines will be eligible. Subjects will receive a treatment with ofatumumab and HDMP for three consecutive 4 week cycles. The primary endpoint is to determine the complete response (CR) to therapy and the secondary endpoints will assess the safety and tolerability of the regimen, the impact of the treatment on progression free, treatment free, overall survival, and pharmacokinetics of ofatumumab. Cycles 1-3 will be administered without scheduled interruption every 28 days for a total of 12 weeks of therapy. Patients will receive allopurinol for tumor-lysis prophylaxis and antimicrobial prophylaxis. Blood glucose levels will be monitored immediately after HDMP infusion by finger stick glucometry. Two months following completion of treatment a response assessment will occur per iwCLL guidelines. The treatment will be administered as outpatient, and each cycle will be four weeks in duration.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. IwCLL-WG Defined Complete Response (CR)

    Responses were assessed two months after completion of therapy.

    Criteria for complete remission is assessed with: a bone marrow biopsy and repeat CT scan (abdominal, chest and pelvis if initial was abnormal) to confirm iwCLL-WG defined CR.

    iwCLL-WG Complete Response is defined as:

    • Peripheral blood lymphocytes (evaluated by blood and differential count) below 4 x 109/L (4000/L).
    • Absence of lymphadenopathy (>1.5 cm)of physical exam; AND
    • No hepatomegaly and splenomegaly on physical exam; AND
    • Absence of constitutional symptoms; AND
    • Normal complete blood count as exhibited by neutrophils ≥ 1,500/μl, platelets > 100,000/μl, hemoglobin > 11.0g/dL (non-transfused), and lymphocyte count < 5,000/μl; AND
    • Bone marrow aspirate and biopsy must be normocellular for age with <30% of nucleated cells being lymphocytes. Lymphoid nodules must be absent

    Measured: 2 months

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. IwCLL-WG Defined Overall Response Rate (ORR)

    Responses were assessed two months after completion of therapy. Overall Response Rate (ORR) = CR + PR

    Measured: 2 months

  2. IwCLL-WG Defined Nodular Partial Response (PR)

    Responses were assessed two months after completion of therapy.

    Partial Response is defined as:

    • Greater than or equal to 50% decrease in blood absolute lymphocyte count from pre-treatment value; AND
    • Greater than or equal to 50% reduction in lymphadenopathy from pre-treatment value; AND
    • Greater than or equal to 50% reduction in splenomegaly/hepatomegaly from pre-treatment value.

    In addition, patients need to have at least ONE of the following:

    • Neutrophils ≥ 1,500/μl or ≥ 50% improvement from pre-treatment value; AND / OR
    • Platelets > 100,000/μl or 50% improvement from pre-treatment value; AND / OR
    • Hemoglobin > 11.0 gm/dl (non-transfused) or 50% improvement from pre-treatment value.

    Measured: 2 months

  3. IwCLL-WG Defined Partial Response (PR)

    Responses were assessed two months after completion of therapy

    Measured: 2 months

  4. IwCLL-WG Defined Stable Disease (SD)

    Responses were assessed two months after completion of therapy.

    Subjects who do not fulfill the criteria for complete or partial response as defined above but do not exhibit progressive disease will be considered as having stable disease.

    Measured: 2 months

  5. IwCLL-WG Defined Progressive Disease (PD)

    Responses were assessed two months after completion of therapy

    Progressive Disease is defined as:

    • Greater than or equal to 50% increase in the products of at least two lymph nodes on two consecutive determinations two weeks apart (at least one lymph node must be ≥ 2 cm; or the appearance of a new palpable lymph node; OR
    • Greater than or equal to 50% increase in the size of the liver and/or spleen as determined by measurement below the respective costal margins; or appearance of palpable hepatomegaly or splenomegaly, which was not previously present; OR
    • Greater than or equal to 50% increase in the absolute number of circulating lymphocytes to at least 5,000μl; OR
    • Transformation to a more aggressive histology (i.e., Richter's syndrome or prolymphocytic leukemia with ≥ 56% prolymphocytes);

    Measured: 2 months

  6. Progression-free Survival (PFS)

    Measured: 2 years

  7. Treatment-Free Survival

    Measured: 2 years

  8. Safety and Tolerability Measured Via Adverse Events

    Please see Adverse Event module for additional details.

    Measured: 2 years

  9. Detectable Minimal Residual Disease (MRD)

    The patient who achieved a CR did not have detectable MRD in the bone marrow by four-color flow cytometry (<0.1% of cells).

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ofatumumab/HDMP in people with CLL, run by Januario Castro, M.D. at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 12 inclusion and 19 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 8 May 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 20 Nov 2015). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

IwCLL-WG Defined Complete Response (CR) (time frame: 2 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01191190, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 May 2018.
