Clinical Trial Summary

This is a Phase 1b, open-label, multicenter study evaluating the safety and tolerability of ABT-199 in combination with rituximab in up to 50 subjects with Relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma. The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety profile, to determine the maximum tolerated dose and establish the Recommended Phase Two Dose of ABT-199 when administered in combination with rituximab. The dose escalation portion of the study will include approximately 30 subjects. Once the recommended phase two dose and schedule have been determined, up to 20 additional subjects will be enrolled in an expanded safety portion of the study. Subjects who meet criteria for CR, CRi, or MRD-negative PR during the study may discontinue ABT 199. If disease progression occurs, as defined by iwCLL NCI/WG criteria for tumor response, or MRD progression, subjects may re-initiate ABT-199.

• Subject has received any of the following within 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug, or has not recovered to less than grade 2 clinically significant adverse

effect(s)/toxicity(s) of the previous therapy:

• Any anti-cancer therapy including chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiotherapy;
• Investigational therapy, including targeted small molecule agents.
• Subject has a cardiovascular disability status of New York Heart Association Class greater then or equal to 2. Class 2 is defined as cardiac disease in which subjects are comfortable at rest but ordinary physical activity results in fatigue, palpitations, dyspnea or anginal pain.
• Subject has a significant history of renal, neurologic, psychiatric, pulmonary, endocrinologic, metabolic, immunologic, cardiovascular, or hepatic disease that in the opinion of the investigator would adversely affect his/her participating in this study.
• Subject has a history of other active malignancies other than CLL/SLL within the past

2 years prior to study entry, with the exception of:

• Adequately treated in situ carcinoma of the cervix uteri;
• Basal cell carcinoma of the skin or localized squamous cell carcinoma of the skin;
• Previous malignancy confined and surgically resected (or treated with other modalities) with curative intent.
• Subject has malabsorption syndrome or other condition that precludes enteral route of administration.
• Subject exhibits evidence of other clinically significant ongoing or recent

condition(s) including, but not limited to:

• Ongoing systemic infection (viral, bacterial, or fungal);
• Diagnosis of fever and neutropenia within 1 week prior to study drug administration

Related Conditions & MeSH terms

• Leukemia, Lymphocytic, Chronic, B-Cell
• Leukemia, Lymphoid
• Lymphoma
• Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma

Intervention

Drug:
• ABT-199
ABT-199 is taken continuously once daily. This is a dose escalation study, therefore the dose of ABT-199 will change throughout the study.
• Rituximab
Rituximab will be given by intravenous infusion on day 1 of Months 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. May be reinitiated for an additional 6 months.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Other	Assess the exploratory pharmacodynamics and pharmacogenetics of the combination of ABT-199 and rituximab.	Minimal residual disease (MRD) will be assessed in the peripheral blood and bone marrow (BM) either by flow cytometry or real-time PCR.	MRD Assessments will be performed at following timepoints: At least 2 months after CR/CRi criteria for tumor response first met, every 12 weeks thereafter until MRD negativity is achieved, and as needed.
Primary	Assess the safety profile, to determine the maximum tolerated dose and Recommended Phase Two Dose of ABT-199 when administered in combination with rituximab (R) in subjects with relapsed chronic lymphocytic leukemia and small lymphocytic lymphoma.	Protocol-defined events, which are attributed as having a reasonable possibility of being related to the administration of ABT-199 and/or rituximab, or can not be attributed by the investigator to a clearly identifiable cause such as tumor progression, concurrent illness, underlying disease or concomitant medication, will be considered a dose limiting toxicity.	Continuous dosing at designated dose level up to Month 6. At end of combination treatment, ABT-199 monotherapy may continue up to 8 years following the date of the last subject enrolled. If disease progression occurs, subjects may re-initiate ABT-199.
Secondary	Determination of peak concentration (Cmax) of ABT-199 and/or Rituximab.	Blood samples for analysis of ABT-199 and rituximab will be collected at designated time points.	PK samples collected up to Month 6 for ABT-199 and Rituximab
Secondary	Assess the exploratory efficacy of the combination ABT-199 and rituximab.	Tumor response or clinical disease progression (Objective Response Rate)	Tumor Assessments will be performed at: Screening, Day 1 on Months 1, 3, 7, and then every 3 months thereafter up to 8 years following the date of the last subject first dose.
Secondary	Determination of trough concentration (Ctrough) of ABT-199 and/or Rituximab	Blood samples for analysis of ABT-199 and rituximab will be collected at designated time points.	PK samples collected up to Month 6 for ABT-199 and Rituximab
Secondary	Determination of area under the concentration versus time curve (AUC) of ABT-199 and/or Rituximab	Blood samples for analysis of ABT-199 and rituximab will be collected at designated time points.	PK samples collected up to Month 6 for ABT-199 and Rituximab
Secondary	Assess the exploratory efficacy of the combination ABT-199 and rituximab	Tumor response or clinical disease progression for (Overall Survival)	Tumor Assessments will be performed at: Screening, Day 1 on Months 1, 3, 7, and then every 3 months thereafter up to 8 years following the date of the last subject first dose.
Secondary	Assess the exploratory efficacy of the combination ABT-199 and rituximab	Tumor response or clinical disease progression for (Progression Free Survival)	Tumor Assessments will be performed at: Screening, Day 1 on Months 1, 3, 7, and then every 3 months thereafter up to 8 years following the date of the last subject first dose.
Secondary	Assess the exploratory efficacy of the combination ABT-199 and rituximab	Tumor response or clinical disease progression for (Time to Tumor Progression)	Tumor Assessments will be performed at: Screening, Day 1 on Months 1, 3, 7, and then every 3 months thereafter up to 8 years following the date of the last subject first dose.
Secondary	Assess the exploratory efficacy of the combination ABT-199 and rituximab	Tumor response or clinical disease progression for (Duration Of Response)	Tumor Assessments will be performed at: Screening, Day 1 on Months 1, 3, 7, and then every 3 months thereafter up to 8 years following the date of the last subject first dose.
