Clinical Trial Summary

This multicenter, open-label, dose-escalation study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, and anti-tumor activity of polatuzumab vedotin in combination with rituximab or obinutuzumab, cyclophosphamide, doxorubicin, and prednisone (CHP chemotherapy) in participants with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL). Participants will receive escalating doses of polatuzumab vedotin intravenously (IV) every 3 weeks in combination with standard doses of rituximab plus CHP chemotherapy (R-CHP) or obinutuzumab plus CHP chemotherapy (G-CHP). Participants will be treated for a total of six or eight cycles in accordance with local institutional practice. Two parallel treatment arms will explore doses of polatuzumab vedotin in combination with R-CHP or G-CHP. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of polatuzumab vedotin in combination with R-CHP will be identified before it is combined with G-CHP. Once the MTD or RP2D is determined, polatuzumab vedotin will be dosed at MTD or RP2D -1 in combination with G-CHP to start the dose escalation of this combination.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Number of Participants With Adverse Events in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) Population An adverse event is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An adverse event can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding, for example), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a pharmaceutical product, whether or not considered related to the pharmaceutical product. Preexisting conditions which worsen during a study are also considered as adverse events. AEs were reported based on the national cancer institute common terminology criteria for AEs, Version 4.0 (NCI-CTCAE, v4.0). Reported are the number of subjects with AEs, Grade 3-5 AEs, and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs). Baseline up to 5 years

Reported are the number of subjects with AEs, Grade 3-5 AEs, and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs). Baseline up to 5 years
Primary Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) in DLBCL Population All dose-escalation cohorts will consist of at least 3 participants. If a DLT is observed in 1 participant at a given dose level during the DLT observation period before dose escalation, additional participants will be enrolled at that dose level for a total of at least 6 participants. DLT assessment forms part of determining the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD). The highest dose level resulting in DLTs in less than one-third of a minimum of 6 participants will be declared the MTD. Cycle (Cy) 1 Day 1 (D1) to Cy 2 D1 (cycle length=21 days)
Primary Number of Participants With DLTs in Non-DLBCL Population All dose-escalation cohorts will consist of at least 3 participants. If a DLT is observed in 1 participant at a given dose level during the DLT observation period before dose escalation, additional participants will be enrolled at that dose level for a total of at least 6 participants. DLT assessment forms part of determining the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD). The highest dose level resulting in DLTs in less than one-third of a minimum of 6 participants will be declared the MTD. Cycle (Cy) 1 Day 1 (D1) to Cy 2 D1 (cycle length=21 days)
Secondary Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (CR or Partial Response [PR]), as Assessed by Investigator Using Cheson Criteria for DLBCL Population Complete Response (CR) rate was defined as the percentage of participants with CR at the end of treatment, as assessed by the investigator, with and without FDG-PET. The overall response rate was defined as the percentage of participants with CR or PR at the end of treatment, as assessed by the investigator, with and without FDG-PET. At the end of treatment (Month 6)
Secondary Percentage of Participants With Objective Response (CR or Partial Response [PR]), as Assessed by Investigator Using Cheson Criteria for Non-DLBCL Population Complete Response (CR) rate was defined as the percentage of participants with CR at the end of treatment, as assessed by the investigator, with and without FDG-PET. The overall response rate was defined as the percentage of participants with CR or PR at the end of treatment, as assessed by the investigator, with and without FDG-PET. At the end of treatment (Month 6)
Secondary Number of Participants With Anti-Polatuzumab Vedotin Antibodies The Anti-Drug Antibody (ADA) screening assay was optimized to tolerate drug interference and was able to detect 90 and 500 ng/mL of the positive control sample in the presence of 20 µg/mL of polatuzumab vedotin. Polatuzumab vedotin total antibody concentrations were determined for each ADA sample. Out of a total of 186 ADA samples that were measured for polatuzumab vedotin total antibody, 184 samples had levels less than 20 µg/mL. Polatuzumab vedotin total antibody concentrations ranged from <0.050 µg/mL to 52.1 µg/mL with a median concentration of 3.38 µg/mL. Baseline up to Month 9 (assessed prior to polatuzumab vedotin infusion [0 hour; Hr] on Day 2 [D2] of Cy 1 and 2, D1 of Cy 4, treatment completion/early termination [Month 6], and at 3 months post-treatment [Month 9]; cycle length=21 days)
Secondary Number of Participants With Anti-Obinutuzumab Antibodies The ADA screening assay was optimized to tolerate drug interference and was able to detect 500 ng/mL of the ADA-positive control sample in the presence of 50 micrograms/mL of obinutuzumab. Obinutuzumab concentrations were determined for each ADA sample. Out of a total of 48 ADA samples that were measured for obinutuzumab, 9 samples had levels less than 50 micrograms/mL of obinutuzumab. Obinutuzumab concentrations in ADA samples ranged from 0.282 micrograms/mL to 522 micrograms/mL with a median concentration of 210 micrograms/mL. Therefore, it is possible that samples with obinutuzumab concentrations greater than 50 micrograms/mL might be false negative for ADA. Baseline up to Month 9 (assessed prior to obinutuzumab infusion [0 Hr] on D1 of Cy 1, 2, 4 and at 3 months post-treatment [Month 9]; cycle length=21 days)
Secondary Area Under the Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) of Polatuzumab Vedotin AUC information for Polatuzumab Vedotin was estimated from serum concentration data using non-compartmental analysis.

Secondary Maximum Concentration (Cmax) of Polatuzumab Vedotin Cmax for Polatuzumab Vedotin was estimated from serum concentration data using non-compartmental analysis. Pre-polatuzumab vedotin infusion (Hr 0), 30 min post-infusion (infusion time=30-90 min) on D 2 of Cy 1, 2 & D1 of Cy 3, 4; Cy 1 Days 8 & 15; Cy 3 Day 8; at end of treatment (Month 6), at Month 3 follow-up (Month 9) (cycle length=21 days)
Secondary Clearance (CL) of Polatuzumab Vedotin CL for Polatuzumab Vedotin was estimated from serum concentration data using non-compartmental analysis.

Secondary Terminal Half-Life (t1/2) of Polatuzumab Vedotin t1/2 for Polatuzumab Vedotin was estimated from serum concentration data using non-compartmental analysis. Pre-polatuzumab vedotin infusion (Hr 0), 30 min post-infusion (infusion time=30-90 min) on D 2 of Cy 1, 2 & D1 of Cy 3, 4; Cy 1 Days 8 & 15; Cy 3 Day 8; at end of treatment (Month 6), at Month 3 follow-up (Month 9) (cycle length=21 days)
Secondary Steady-State Volume of Distribution (Vss) of Polatuzumab Vedotin Vss for Polatuzumab Vedotin was estimated from serum concentration data using non-compartmental analysis. Pre-polatuzumab vedotin infusion (Hr 0), 30 min post-infusion (infusion time=30-90 min) on D 2 of Cy 1, 2 & D1 of Cy 3, 4; Cy 1 Days 8 & 15; Cy 3 Day 8; at end of treatment (Month 6), at Month 3 follow-up (Month 9) (cycle length=21 days)
Secondary Plasma Levels of Cyclophosphamide Plasma levels of cyclophosphamide will be assessed and compared at the same timepoints of Cycle 1 (in the absence of polatuzumab vedotin) and Cycle 3 (in the presence of polatuzumab vedotin), and compared with historical data to evaluate potential PK interactions with polatuzumab vedotin. End of cyclophosphamide infusion (infusion time=1-24 Hr), 3 and 23 hours post end of cyclophosphamide infusion on D1 of Cy 1 and 3 (cycle length=21 days)
Secondary Plasma Levels of Doxorubicin Plasma levels of doxorubicin will be assessed and compared at the same timepoints of Cycle 1 (in the absence of polatuzumab vedotin) and Cycle 3 (in the presence of polatuzumab vedotin), and compared with historical data to evaluate potential PK interactions with polatuzumab vedotin. 2, 24 hours post end of doxorubicin infusion (infusion time=15 min) on D1 of Cy 1 and 3 (cycle length=21 days)
Secondary Peripheral Neuropathy Symptom Severity: Therapy-Induced Neuropathy Assessment Scale (TINAS) Overall Neuropathy Severity Score The TINAS is an 11-item questionnaire scored on a 0 to 10 scale, with 0 being the symptom is not present to 10 being the symptom is as bad as the participant can imagine. The questionnaire will be analyzed for the individual neuropathy symptoms experienced by a participant as well as the calculation of an overall neuropathy severity score. The TINAS scale will be completed daily over the course of study treatment. Additionally, to collect information about the reversibility of peripheral neuropathy, the TINAS will be completed once a week for the first 2 months, then once a month for the next 10 months following treatment completion. Results are only being reported here up until the End of Treatment visit (duration of Study treatment). Weekly up to Month 6 (22 weeks). TINAS data were collected daily, though for the analysis purpose for each participant, only the first record of each week was selected.
Secondary Peripheral Neuropathy Symptom Interference: TINAS Numbness/Tingling Item Score The TINAS is an 11-item questionnaire scored on a 0 to 10 scale, with 0 being the symptom is not present to 10 being the symptom is as bad as the patient can imagine. The questionnaire will be analyzed for the individual neuropathy symptoms experienced by a participant as well as the calculation of an overall neuropathy severity score. The TINAS scale will be completed daily over the course of study treatment. Additionally, to collect information about the reversibility of peripheral neuropathy, the TINAS will be completed once a week for the first 2 months, then once a month for the next 10 months following treatment completion. Additionally, a single item that asks patients to rate when numbness and tingling was at the worst will be used to predict the onset of peripheral neuropathy. The measure takes less than 5 minutes to complete. Results are only being reported here up until the End of Treatment visit (duration of Study treatment). Weekly up to Month 6 (22 weeks). TINAS data were collected daily, though for the analysis purpose for each participant, only the first record of each week was selected.
