Genetically Risk-Stratified Venetoclax, Ibrutinib, Rituximab (± Navitoclax) in Relapsed/Refractory Mantle Cell Lymphoma

• Status: Not yet recruiting
• Trial end date: 2029-06-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

This is an open label, multi-centre, phase II study in which RR MCL patients will be genetically risk-stratified into Standard risk (no 9p21.1-24.3 loss, no SMARCA2 or SMARCA4 mut/del) and High risk (9p21.1-24.3 loss, SMARCA2 and/or SMARCA4 mut/del).

Patients without the high-risk mutations will be treated with ibrutinib, rituximab and venetoclax. Patients with the high-risk mutations will be treated with ibrutinib, rituximab, venetoclax and navitoclax.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: No

Details

• Lead Sponsor: Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre, Australia
• Treatments: Navitoclax; Rituximab; Venetoclax

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patient must be ≥ 18 years of age.

2. Patient must have a confirmed diagnosis of MCL according to World Health Organisation ([WHO] 2008) criteria, and have received at least one prior line of systemic therapy for their disease. Patients recently commenced on ibrutinib (≤4 weeks) will be allowed to enrol as long as at the time of enrolment there is measurable disease and no disease progression.

3. Patient requires treatment in the opinion of the investigator, and has at least one site of assessable disease not previously irradiated (such as lymph node with largest diameter ≥1.5cm, or unequivocal hepatomegaly/splenomegaly).

4. Patient has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance score of ≤ 2 .

5. Patient must have adequate bone marrow function independent of growth factor support at screening as follows:

• Absolute Neutrophil Count (ANC) ≥ 0.75 x 109/L (neutropenia due to marrow infiltration may be supported by growth factors)

• Platelets ≥ 50 x 109/L (≥ 30 x 109/L if reduced counts due to marrow infiltration; entry platelet count must be independent of transfusion within 7 days)

6. Patients must have adequate coagulation, renal, and hepatic function, per laboratory reference range at screening as follows:

• Activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and prothrombin time (PT) ≤1.5 × the upper limit of normal (ULN)

• Calculated creatinine clearance of at least 30 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault equation or a 24-hour urine collection (Appendix 2)

• Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 3.0 × ULN of institution's normal range

• Bilirubin ≤1.5 × ULN. Patients with documented Gilbert's Syndrome may have a bilirubin > 1.5 × ULN

7. Female patients of childbearing potential and non-sterile male patients (with partner(s) of child bearing potential) must practice at least one of the following methods of birth control with partner(s) from initial study drug administration to 90 days after the last dose of study drug:

• Total abstinence from sexual intercourse as the preferred life style of the patient; periodic abstinence is not acceptable

• Surgically sterile partner(s); acceptable sterility surgeries are: vasectomy, bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy or hysterectomy

• Intrauterine device

• Double-barrier method (contraceptive sponge, diaphragm or cervical cap with spermicidal jellies or cream AND a condom)

• Hormonal contraceptives (oral, parenteral or transdermal) for at least 3 months prior to study drug administration

8. Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative serum (beta-human chorionic gonadotropin [B-hCG]) or urine pregnancy test at screening. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are ineligible for this study.

9. Male patients must agree to refrain from sperm donation, from initial study drug administration until 90 days after the last dose of study drug.

10. Patient is able to swallow whole tablets.

11. Patient (or their legally acceptable representatives) must sign an informed consent document indicating that they understand the purpose of and procedures required for the study, including biomarkers, and are willing to participate in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Patient has undergone an allogeneic stem cell transplant within the last 6 months or currently has active graft-vs-host disease requiring the use of immunosuppressants.

2. Patient has active and uncontrolled autoimmune cytopenias (for 2 weeks), including autoimmune haemolytic anaemia and immune thrombocytopenic purpura.

3. Patient has current central nervous system (CNS) involvement by MCL.

4. Patient currently receiving ibrutinib for >4 weeks or previously received a Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitor or B-cell lymphoma 2 (bcl-2) inhibitor.

5. Patient has received the following within 30 days prior to the first dose of study drug:

• Monoclonal antibody given with anti-neoplastic intent

6. Patient has received any of the following within 14 days prior to the first dose of study drug, or has not recovered to less than CTCAE grade 2 clinically significant adverse effect(s)/toxicity(s) of the previous therapy:

• Any anti-cancer therapy including chemotherapy, or radiotherapy

• Investigational therapy, including targeted small molecule agents

7. Patient has received the following within 7 days prior to the first dose of study drug:

• Steroid therapy given with anti-neoplastic intent

8. Patients requires ongoing therapy with:

• Potent CYP3A inhibitors (such as indinavir, ketoconazole, and clarithromycin)

• Potent CYP3A inducers (e.g., rifampin, phenytoin, carbamazepine or St. John's Wort)

• Warfarin, or equivalent vitamin K antagonist

• Antiretroviral medications.

9. Patient has consumed the following within 3 days prior to the first dose of study drug:

• Grapefruit, or

• Grapefruit products, or

• Seville oranges (including marmalade containing Seville oranges), or

• Star fruit

10. Patient has clinically significant cardiovascular disease such as uncontrolled arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, or myocardial infarction within 6 months of screening, or any Class 3 (moderate) or Class 4 (severe) cardiac disease as defined by the New York Heart Association Functional Classification

11. Patient has a life-threatening illness, medical condition, or organ system dysfunction which, in the investigator's opinion, could compromise the patient's safety, interfere with the absorption or metabolism of oral drugs, or put the study outcomes at undue risk:

• Specifically, a patient with history of stroke or intracranial haemorrhage within 6 months prior to enrolment is excluded

12. Patient has a history of other active malignancies other than MCL within the past 2 years prior to study entry, with the exception of:

• Adequately treated in situ carcinoma of the cervix uteri

• Adequately treated basal cell carcinoma of the skin or localised squamous cell carcinoma of the skin

• Previous malignancy confined and surgically resected (or treated with other modalities) with curative intent

13. Patient has active Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) or active Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection or known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or any uncontrolled active systemic infection requiring intravenous (IV) antibiotics.

14. Received live, attenuated vaccines within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug.

15. Major surgery within 4 weeks prior to the first dose of study drug.
