Ibrutinib, a first-in-class Bruton Tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor, has become an established treatment in relapsed/refractory chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). However, despite a considerable improvement of Progression Free Survival (PFS) and Overall Survival (OS) in comparison with historical controls, the prognosis of patients with 17p deletion (del17p) remains a concern, as it is clearly much less favourable than that of patient without del17p. Again, TP53 mutations correlated to poorer prognostic in Relapsed/Refractory (R/R) CLL patients treated with ibrutinib (Brown JR et al,2018). Despite these therapeutic advances, the treatment of CLL with TP53 disruption thus remains a difficult issue that warrants evaluation of alternative treatment strategies, in particular the use of ibrutinib in combination with other agents. A body of evidence suggests that targeting the extracellular molecule CD38 might be an interesting option. CD38 is a transmembrane glycoprotein with multiple receptor and enzymatic functions. The interaction of CD38 with its ligand CD31 (also known as Platelet Endothelial Cell Adhesion Molecule (PECAM-1)) not only plays a role in the binding and the migration of leucocytes through the endothelial cells wall but also triggers the activation of intracellular pathways involved in the differentiation and activation of B cells. Previous results strongly suggest that CD38 favours the expansion of CLL clones not only directly by transducing a proliferation signal but also by directing them to anatomic sites where they find favourable conditions for proliferation and survival. Daratumumab is a first-in-class human IgG1ĸ monoclonal antibody (mAb) that binds CD38-expressing malignant cells with high affinity. Daratumumab induces tumor cell death through multiple mechanisms such as antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), complement dependent cytotoxicity (CDC), antibody-dependent cellular phagocytosis (ADCP) and induction of apoptosis (de Weers et al, 2011). Recent data show that daratumumab may also display an immunomodulatory effect through depletion of a subset of immunosuppressive CD38+ Tregs (Krejcik et al, 2016). Early-stage clinical trials found daratumumab to be safe and to display encouraging clinical activity as a single agent in relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma (MM) patients (Lockhorst et al 2016, Lonial et al, 2016). Overall response rate was 31%, with rapid (median 1 month) and durable responses in this heavily pretreated MM population. Interestingly, no patient discontinued the treatment because of drug-related adverse events. These results led to approval of daratumumab in relapsed/refractory MM in December 2015. The clinical efficacy of daratumumab along with its very favourable safety profile supports its investigation in other lymphoproliferative malignancies. In particular, the expression of CD38 in poor prognosis CLL and the key role of CD38 in CLL biology provide a basis for examining the potential of daratumumab in this disease. In preclinical studies, (Matas-Céspedes et al, 2016; Manna et al, 2017) Daratumumab efficiently kills CLL cell lines and patient-derived CLL cells by ADCC and ADCP in vitro. Daratumumab modulates CLL-T reg levels and increase cytotoxic effector T cells. Rationale for combining ibrutinib with daratumumab: These data suggest that combining ibrutinib with daratumumab might have a synergistic or additive effect. Both drugs inhibit B cell receptor (BCR) signalling via two different converging pathways, i.e. BTK and CD38/ZAP70/ERK (Deaglio et al, 2007). In vitro, Manna et al have shown that daratumumab is able to modulate BCR signaling. Interestingly, the ibrutinib /daratumumab combination significantly enhanced mitochondrial-mediated apoptosis bth in CD38 high and CD38 low CLL cells (Manna et al, 2017). Altogether, this provides a rationale for evaluating the safety and efficacy of the association of daratumumab with ibrutinib in high-risk relapsed/refractory patients for whom the standard-of-care using ibrutinib as a single agent has demonstrated limitations in terms of long-term disease control. Primary objective of the study: to determine the efficacy of a treatment combining daratumumab and ibrutinib in a poor risk population of relapsed CLL patients with TP53 dysfunction. Secondary objectives of the study : to determine the safety profile of daratumumab in combination with ibrutinib in CLL patients. Inclusion period: 24 months Treatment duration (ibrutinib + daratumumab): continuous, until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Follow-up period: will begin once the subject discontinues study treatment, during 2 years.
This is a Phase III, multi-center, open-label, parallel, 2-arm, randomized study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of radotinib 300 mg Bis In Die(BID) versus imatinib 400 mg Quaque Die(QD). This study will be conducted in Chinese patients with newly diagnosed Ph+ Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia(CML)-Chronic Phase(CP) who are previously untreated for Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia(CML).
This study is to find out if treating Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia (CMML) with a study drug (ruxolitinib) can improve outcomes of patients with CMML.
The GRAALL-QUEST study is a Phase 2 study nested in the GRAALL-2014/B study (NCT02617004). The GRAALL-QUEST study evaluates the safety and the efficacy of blinatumomab-containing consolidation and maintenance therapy in patients aged 18-59 years old with high-risk B-cell precursor acute lymphoblastic leukemia (BCP-ALL) in first complete hematologic remission after one induction course of standard chemotherapy and no central nervous system (CNS) involvement at diagnosis. High-risk patients are defined as patients with KMT2A/MLL gene rearrangement, and/or IKZF1 (Ikaros) intra-genic deletion and/or high post-induction Ig-TCR minimal residual disease (MRD) level (≥10-4). In such patients not receiving blinatumomab, 3-year hematologic relapse incidence and relapse-free survival (RFS) are estimated at 60-65% and 50% only, respectively, on the basis of historical results. A large subset of these high-risk patients (i.e. those with post-induction MRD level ≥10-3 and/or post-consolidation MRD level ≥10-4), but not all, will also be considered as candidates for allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) in first hematologic remission. The primary objective of the GRAALL-QUEST study is to evaluate the efficacy of adding blinatumomab to consolidation and eventually maintenance therapy in term of Relapse Free Survival (RFS). Secondary objectives are overall survival, comparison of RFS and Overall Survival (OS) in transplanted versus non-transplanted patients, MRD response and safety. Blinatumomab will be given as monthly cycles at the daily dose of 28 microg/d continuous IV infusion, together with 3 triple intra-thecal (IT) chemotherapy injections. The first cycle will start after completion of the first consolidation chemotherapy phase (corresponding to the MRD2 time-point). Patients receiving allo-HSCT will receive successive blinatumomab cycles until allo-HSCT. Patients not receiving allo-HSCT will receive a first blinatumomab cycle (cycle 1) during the second consolidation chemotherapy phase, followed by late intensification, then the third consolidation chemotherapy phase including another blinatumomab cycle (cycle 2) and maintenance chemotherapy including three additional blinatumomab cycles (cycles 3 to 5), for a total of 5 blinatumomab cycles maximum.
This is a Post-Marketing Surveillance (PMS) of Iclusig® Tablets in accordance with Korean regulations on Risk Management Plan (RMP). This PMS is to assess safety and effectiveness data after administrating Ponatinib (of Iclusig® Tablets) per approved indication, usage and dosage.
Venetoclax and ibrutinib have complementary activity in clearing the disease across anatomical compartments. By combining ibrutinib with venetoclax, cells can be mobilized from tissues into the bloodstream by ibrutinib and killed in the blood by venetoclax. Consistently, the venetoclax-ibrutinib combination can achieve undetectable minimal residual disease (MRD-neg) in a sizable proportion of patients. Gentle debulking obtained with a lead-in phase of ibrutinib monotherapy may allow starting venetoclax when the disease has been reshaped in a size that fits for low-risk of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS), a rare adverse event (AE) of venetoclax. MRD-guided treatment duration may allow patients achieving a negative status to gain drug-free intervals and less medicalization, and may avoid all the potential, and not yet completely known implications of continuous therapy on long-term safety, drug interactions, quality of life, compliance to treatment, and economic sustainability.
This phase III trial studies how well ibrutinib and obinutuzumab with or without venetoclax work in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Obinutuzumab is a monoclonal antibody. It binds to a protein called CD20, which is found on B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some types of cancer cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Venetoclax is in a class of medications called B-cell lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) inhibitors. It may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking Bcl-2, a protein needed for cancer cell survival. Giving ibrutinib, obinutuzumab, and venetoclax may work better than giving ibrutinib and obinutuzumab in treating patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Phase II study to evaluate safety and efficacy of DCP-001 in patients with AML in CR, and with presence of MRD
Patients with relapsed or refractory leukemia or lymphoma are often refractory to further chemotherapy. In this study, the investigators will attempt to use T cells obtained directly from the patient, which can be genetically engineered to express a fully human chimeric antigen receptor (CAR). The CAR used in this study can recognize CD19, a protein expressed on the surface of leukemia and lymphoma cells. The fully human CAR used in this study may help protect against rejection of the CAR T cells, which in turn could lead to lasting protection against return of the leukemia or lymphoma. The phase 1 part of this study will determine the safety of these CAR T cells, and the phase 2 part of the study will determine how effective this CAR T cell therapy is. Both patients who have never had prior CAR T cell therapy and those who have had prior CAR T cell therapy may be eligible to participate in this study.
