About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Phase 3 Study of the Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor, PCI-32765 (Ibrutinib), in Combination With Either Bendamustine and Rituximab (BR) or Rituximab, Cyclophosphamide, Doxorubicin, Vincristine, and Prednisone (R-CHOP) in Subjects With Previously Treated Indolent Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (iNHL)

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PCI-32765 (ibrutinib) administered in combination with either bendamustine and rituximab (BR) or rituximab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, vincristine, and prednisone (R-CHOP) in adult participants with previously treated indolent Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Read the detailed description

This is a randomized (individuals assigned to study treatment by chance), double-blind (individuals and study personnel will not know the identity of study treatments), placebo (an inactive substance that is compared with a drug to test whether the drug has a real effect in a clinical trial)-controlled study in approximately 400 adult participants with follicular lymphoma or marginal zone lymphoma. The study will include the following phases: Screening, Treatment, and a Post-treatment Follow-up. Eligible participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either treatment Arm A (background immune-chemotherapy + placebo) or treatment Arm B (background immune-chemotherapy + 560 milligram [mg] of ibrutinib). All participants will receive 6 cycles of background immune-chemotherapy with either BR or R-CHOP in combination with either placebo (Arm A) or ibrutinib (Arm B). Selection of background immune-chemotherapy will be based on prior treatment history and cardiac function. After completion of background immune-chemotherapy, study drug (ibrutinib or placebo) will continue until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, or study end, whichever comes first. Assessment of tumor response and progression will be conducted in accordance with the Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma. Serial pharmacokinetic (study of what a drug does to the body) blood samples will be collected. Safety will be assessed throughout the study.

What is being measured

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

  1. Primary Analysis: Progression Free Survival (PFS): Stratified Analysis

    PFS was defined as duration (in months) from the date of randomization to the date of disease progression or relapse from complete response (CR) or death, whichever was first reported. PFS was assessed by the investigator based on the 2007 Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma. Disease progression was defined as any new lesion or increase by greater than or equal to (>=) 50 percent (%) of previously involved sites from nadir disease progression criteria: Appearance of new nodal lesion 1.5 centimeters (cm) in any axis, 50% increase in sum of product of diameters (SPD) of greater than (>) 1 node or 50% increase in longest diameter of previously identified node 1 cm in short axis. Participants who were progression-free and alive or had unknown status were censored at the last tumor assessment. Kaplan-Meier method was used for the analysis. Stratification factors were used for the analysis.

    Measured: Up to 8 years

  2. Supplementary Analysis: Progression Free Survival: Unstratified Analysis - Participants With Marginal Zone Lymphoma (MZL)

    PFS in MZL participants was defined as duration (in months) from the date of randomization to the date of disease progression or relapse from CR or death, whichever was first reported. PFS was assessed by the investigator based on the 2007 Revised Response Criteria for Malignant Lymphoma. Disease progression was defined as any new lesion or increase by >=50% of previously involved sites from nadir disease progression criteria: Appearance of new nodal lesion 1.5 cm in any axis, 50% increase in SPD of >1 node or 50% increase in longest diameter of previously identified node 1 cm in short axis. Participants who were progression-free and alive or had unknown status were censored at the last tumor assessment. Kaplan-Meier method was used for the analysis. For this outcome measure, unstratified analysis was performed on participants with MZL.

    Measured: Up to 8 years

Secondary outcomes (12)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Bendamustine, Rituximab and Cyclophosphamide in people with Lymphoma, run by Janssen Research & Development, LLC at 135 sites in 19 countries.

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 9 inclusion and 11 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 25 May 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 135 sites in United States, Japan, Russia, China, Germany and 14 more countries. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

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 14 Apr 2023). 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?

Primary Analysis: Progression Free Survival (PFS): Stratified Analysis (time frame: Up to 8 years). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT01974440, 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 25 May 2025.
