About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Open-label, Phase 2, Safety and Efficacy Study of the Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (Btk) Inhibitor, PCI-32765, in Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory or de Novo Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of ibrutinib (PCI-32765) in relapsed/refractory de novo activated B-cell (ABC) and germinal-cell B-Cell (GCB) Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL).

Read the detailed description

The primary objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficacy of ibrutinib administered at 560 mg once per day in relapsed or refractory de novo ABC and GCB DLBCL, and to evaluate the efficacy of ibrutinib administered at 840 mg once per day in relapsed or refractory de novo ABC DLBCL.

The secondary objective was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of a fixed daily oral dosing regimen of ibrutinib in relapsed/refractory de novo DLBCL.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percentage of Patients With an Overall Response to Study Drug

    The primary endpoint of the study was overall response rate (ORR), defined as the proportion of participants who achieved a best overall response of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR), according to the revised International Working Group Criteria for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (Cheson et al, 2007), as assessed by the investigator.

    Measured: The median follow up time on the study for all treated participants is 1.7 months (range 0.1- 32.3 months)

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Number of Patients With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability

    Participants will be followed until progression of the disease or start of another anticancer treatment. The clinical database captured all AEs from baseline through end of treatment. Treatment Emergent AEs were collected pre-dose, at the beginning of each cycle and 30 days post last dose of study drug, unless related to study drug.

    Measured: Adverse events determined to be related to study drug are collected from first dose until study exit (approximately 3 years).

  2. Ibrutinib and Its Metabolite (PCI-45227) AUC0-24h After Repeat Dosing of PCI-32765

    Treatment Group 1 PK collection schedule:

    Cycle 1 Day 1: Pre-dose, 1, 2, 4, 7, and 24 hours post-dose Cycle 1 Day 8: Pre-dose, 1, 2, 4, 7, and 24 hours post-dose Cycle 1 Day 15: Pre-dose and 2 hours post-dose Cycle 1 Day 22: Pre-dose and 2 hours post-dose

    Treatment Group 2 PK collection schedule:

    Cycle 1 Day 8: Pre-dose, 1, 2, 4 and 7 hours post-dose Cycle 1 Day 15: Pre-dose and 2 hours post-dose Cycle 1 Day 22: Pre-dose and 2 hours post-dose Cycle 3 Day 1: Pre-dose, 1, 2, and 4 hours post-dose

    Measured: Performed during the first month of receiving study drug.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing ibrutinib in people with Diffuse Large Cell B-lymphoma, run by Pharmacyclics LLC. at 15 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 6 inclusion and 15 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 31 Mar 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 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 16 Feb 2017). 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?

Percentage of Patients With an Overall Response to Study Drug (time frame: The median follow up time on the study for all treated participants is 1.7 months (range 0.1- 32.3 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 NCT01325701, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 31 Mar 2017.
