About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Open-label, Safety and Efficacy Study of Ibrutinib in Pediatric and Young Adult Patients With Relapsed or Refractory Mature B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
The purpose of this study is to confirm that the pharmacokinetics of ibrutinib in pediatric participants is consistent with that in adults (part 1) and to assess efficacy (event-free survival [EFS]) of ibrutinib in combination with rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide (RICE) or rituximab, vincristine, ifosfamide, carboplatin, and idarubicin (RVICI) background therapy compared to RICE or RVICI background therapy alone (part 2).
Read the detailed description
This is a Phase 3, randomized (study medication assigned to participants by chance), open-label (identity of study drug will be known to participant and study staff), controlled study which consists of two parts: Part 1 and Part 2. The Part 1 is a pharmacokinetic run-in part, which will be conducted before starting the randomized part (Part 2) of the study and Part 2 is a randomized and open-label study. Part 1 and Part 2 of the study will be conducted in 3 phases: a Pretreatment (Screening) Phase (Up to 14 days before administration of study drug), a Treatment Phase, and a Posttreatment Phase. The Treatment Phase will extend from enrollment (in Part 1) or randomization (in Part 2) until 1 of the following: 1) completion of 3 cycles of therapy, 2) transplantation, if clinically indicated, or 3) progressive disease (PD), whichever comes first. The Posttreatment Phase will continue until death, loss to follow up, consent withdrawal, or study end, whichever occurs first. The end of study is defined as when approximately 60 event-free survival (EFS) events have occurred in Part 2 (death, disease progression, or lack of complete response [CR] or partial response [PR] after 3 cycles of treatment based on blinded independent event review), or the sponsor terminates the study, whichever comes first. Participants in Part 1 will be 1 to less than (<) 18 years old. Participants in Part 2 will be 1 to 30 years old. Participants will be primarily evaluated for pharmacokinetics in part 1 and efficacy (EFS) of ibrutinib in combination with RICE or RVICI background therapy compared to RICE or RVICI background therapy alone in part 2. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Part 1: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) of Ibrutinib
AUC is defined as area under the plasma concentration-time curve. As per planned analyses, pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters for Part 1 were presented per dose group (240 milligrams per meter square [mg/m^2], 329 mg/m^2 and 440 mg/m^2) and age group (1-5, 6-11, 12-17 and >18 years). As planned in protocol, the PK parameters were presented per dose group as dosing was dependent on age.
Measured: Up to Cycle 3 (each cycle of 21 or 28 days)
Part 1: Apparent (Oral) Plasma Clearance (CL/F) of Ibrutinib
CL/F is defined as apparent plasma clearance of ibrutinib. As per planned analyses, PK parameters for Part 1 were presented per dose group (240 mg/m^2, 329 mg/m^2 and 440 mg/m^2) and age group (1-5, 6-11, 12-17 and >18 years). As planned in protocol, the PK parameters were presented per dose group as dosing was dependent on age.

As planned in protocol, the PK parameters were presented per dose group as dosing was dependent on age.
Measured: Up to Cycle 3 (each cycle of 21 or 28 days)
Part 1: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Ibrutinib
Cmax is defined as maximum plasma concentration of ibrutinib. As per planned analyses, pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters for Part 1 were presented per dose group (240 mg/m^2, 329 mg/m^2 and 440 mg/m^2) and age group (1-5, 6-11, 12-17 and >18 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 confirm that the pharmacokinetics of ibrutinib in pediatric participants is consistent with that in adults (part 1) and to assess efficacy (event-free survival [EFS]) of ibrutinib in combination with rituximab, ifosfamide, carboplatin, and etoposide (RICE) or rituximab, vincristine, ifosfamide, carboplatin, and idarubicin (RVICI) background therapy compared to RICE or RVICI background therapy alone (part 2).
Detailed description
This is a Phase 3, randomized (study medication assigned to participants by chance), open-label (identity of study drug will be known to participant and study staff), controlled study which consists of two parts: Part 1 and Part 2. The Part 1 is a pharmacokinetic run-in part, which will be conducted before starting the randomized part (Part 2) of the study and Part 2 is a randomized and open-label study. Part 1 and Part 2 of the study will be conducted in 3 phases: a Pretreatment (Screening) Phase (Up to 14 days before administration of study drug), a Treatment Phase, and a Posttreatment Phase. The Treatment Phase will extend from enrollment (in Part 1) or randomization (in Part 2) until 1 of the following: 1) completion of 3 cycles of therapy, 2) transplantation, if clinically indicated, or 3) progressive disease (PD), whichever comes first. The Posttreatment Phase will continue until death, loss to follow up, consent withdrawal, or study end, whichever occurs first. The end of study is defined as when approximately 60 event-free survival (EFS) events have occurred in Part 2 (death, disease progression, or lack of complete response [CR] or partial response [PR] after 3 cycles of treatment based on blinded independent event review), or the sponsor terminates the study, whichever comes first. Participants in Part 1 will be 1 to less than (<) 18 years old. Participants in Part 2 will be 1 to 30 years old. Participants will be primarily evaluated for pharmacokinetics in part 1 and efficacy (EFS) of ibrutinib in combination with RICE or RVICI background therapy compared to RICE or RVICI background therapy alone in part 2. Participants' safety will be monitored throughout the study.

Primary outcome
Part 1: Area Under the Plasma Concentration-time Curve (AUC) of Ibrutinib
Time frame: Up to Cycle 3 (each cycle of 21 or 28 days)
AUC is defined as area under the plasma concentration-time curve. As per planned analyses, pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters for Part 1 were presented per dose group (240 milligrams per meter square [mg/m^2], 329 mg/m^2 and 440 mg/m^2) and age group (1-5, 6-11, 12-17 and >18 years). As planned in protocol, the PK parameters were presented per dose group as dosing was dependent on age.
Part 1: Apparent (Oral) Plasma Clearance (CL/F) of Ibrutinib
Time frame: Up to Cycle 3 (each cycle of 21 or 28 days)
CL/F is defined as apparent plasma clearance of ibrutinib. As per planned analyses, PK parameters for Part 1 were presented per dose group (240 mg/m^2, 329 mg/m^2 and 440 mg/m^2) and age group (1-5, 6-11, 12-17 and >18 years). As planned in protocol, the PK parameters were presented per dose group as dosing was dependent on age.
Part 1: Apparent (Oral) Volume of Distribution (Vd/F) of Ibrutinib
Time frame: Up to Cycle 3 (each cycle of 21 or 28 days)
Vd/F is defined as apparent (oral) volume of distribution of ibrutinib. As per planned analyses, pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters for Part 1 were presented per dose group (240 mg/m^2, 329 mg/m^2 and 440 mg/m^2) and age group (1-5, 6-11, 12-17 and >18 years). As planned in protocol, the PK parameters were presented per dose group as dosing was dependent on age.
Part 1: Maximum Observed Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Ibrutinib
Time frame: Up to Cycle 3 (each cycle of 21 or 28 days)
Cmax is defined as maximum plasma concentration of ibrutinib. As per planned analyses, pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters for Part 1 were presented per dose group (240 mg/m^2, 329 mg/m^2 and 440 mg/m^2) and age group (1-5, 6-11, 12-17 and >18 years). As planned in protocol, the PK parameters were presented per dose group as dosing was dependent on age.
Part 1: Relationship Between AUC and Body Size
Time frame: Up to Cycle 3 (each cycle of 28 days)
The relationship between ibrutinib metrics of systemic exposure (AUC) with body size was assessed to determine the impact on AUC which were presented per dose groups (240 mg/m^2, 329 mg/m^2 and 440 mg/m^2) and age groups (1-5, 6-11, 12-17 and >18 years). The data could not be analyzed in tabular format for this outcome measure as they correspond to a flat regression line in nonlinear mixed effects modeling.
Part 2: Event Free Survival (EFS) Between the 2 Treatment Groups
Time frame: Time from Randomization to death, disease progression, or lack of CR or PR after 3 cycles of treatment (up to 4 year and 4 months)
EFS was the time interval from randomization to death, disease progression, or lack of complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) after 3 cycles of treatment, whichever occurred first based on blinded independent event review by the Independent Review Committee (IRC). CR was defined as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) reveals no residual disease or new lesions, resected residual mass that was pathologically (morphologically) negative for disease, BM and CSF morphologically free of disease with no new lesions by imaging examination. PR was defined as 50 percent (%) decrease in sum of the products of the lesion diameters (SPD) on CT or MRI; fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG)-positron emission tomography (PET) may be positive, no new or progressive disease (PD); morphologic evidence of disease may be present in BM or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) if present at diagnosis; however, there should be 50% reduction in percentage of lymphoma cells.
