R-EPOCH in Combination With Ibrutinib for Patients With Classical RT of CLL (BDHRT001)

July 29, 2021 updated by: Tingyu Wang, Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital

A Multicenter Phase 2 Study of R-EPOCH in Combination With Ibrutinib for Patients With Classical Richter Transformation of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

This is an investigator-initiated Phase 2 study, which combines R-EDOCH with Ibrutinib to treat patients with Ritcher Transformation in consideration of DLBCL and CLL components both could being targeted at the same time. The investigator will observe the 2-year overall survival rate of this regimen for RT and explore the new regimen for RT in the novel drugs era, which aims to improve the efficacy and prolong survival.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Allocation: N/A
  • Interventional Model: Single Group Assignment

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: R-EPOCH plus IBR for RT

Induction:

(21-day per cycle) Ibrutinib:420mg given orally , once daily.

Details of R-DA-EPOCH are as follows:

Rituximab: 375 mg/m2 given intravenously (IV) on day 0 Etoposide: 50 mg/m2 given CIV from day 1-4 Doxorubicin: 10 mg/m2 given CIV from day 1-4 Vincristine: 0.4 mg/m2 given CIV from day 1-4 Cyclophosphamide: 750 mg/m2/day IV on day 5 Prednisone: 60 mg/m2 given orally bid on days 1-5. Patients who achieve CR after 4 cycles enter the consolidation treatment ; Patients with PR after 4 cycles would receive another 2 cycles of R-EPOCH + ibrutinib induction therapy, they could enter the consolidation treatment if they achieve CR ,withdrawn from the study if they achieve ≤ PR; Patients with SD/PD after 4 cycles of treatment are withdrawn from the study.

Consolidation:

2 cycles of R-EPOCH + Ibrutinib (dose as before) treatment

Maintenance:

Ibrutinib 420 mg/day for 24 months or until disease progression or intolerable toxicity

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
2-year overall survival rate (OS)
Time Frame: 2 years
Defined as the time interval from enrollment to death of patients in the intent-to-treat population (ITT). If the patient is alive or death of the patient is unknown, the date of death will be the latest time point at which the patient was known to be alive.
2 years

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Complete response rate (CRR)
Time Frame: 1 month after completion of consolidation therapy
Defined as the percentage of subjects who achieved CR after treatment in the per-protocol population as well as in the intent-to-treat population.
1 month after completion of consolidation therapy
Overall response rate (ORR)
Time Frame: 1 month after completion of consolidation therapy
Defined as the percentage of subjects who achieved CR + PR after treatment in the per-protocol population and the intention-to-treat population.
1 month after completion of consolidation therapy
Progression-free survival (PFS)
Time Frame: 2 years
Defined as the time interval from enrollment to disease progression or death, whichever occurred first, for patients in the intent-to-treat (ITT) population. If there is no progression or time of disease progression is not recorded at the time of withdrawal from the trial, the date of the last examination will be used as the endpoint date.
2 years
Minimal residual disease (MRD) negative rate
Time Frame: 1 month after completion of consolidation therapy
For patients with bone marrow invasion, on the basis of CR, multicolor flow cytometry detects that tumor cells account for the proportion of nuclear cells, and < 0.01% are MRD negative.
1 month after completion of consolidation therapy
Toxic side effects
Time Frame: 3 years
Non-hematologic toxicity was evaluated according to NCI CTCAE 5.0 criteria; hematologic toxicity was evaluated according to NCI CLL 2018 criteria
3 years
