Obinutuzumab, Ibrutinib, and Venetoclax for the Treatment of Previously Untreated Stage II-IV Follicular Lymphoma

Summary
This phase II trial studies how well obinutuzumab, ibrutinib, and venetoclax work in treating patients with previously untreated stage II-IV follicular lymphoma. Immunotherapy with obinutuzumab may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Ibrutinib and venetoclax may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Giving obinutuzumab, ibrutinib, and venetoclax together may work better in treating follicular lymphoma compared to each drug alone.

Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:

- A diagnosis of follicular lymphoma (grades 1, 2, or 3a), untreated

- Able and willing to provide written informed consent and to comply with the study
protocol

- Bi-dimensionally measurable disease, with at least one mass lesion >= 2 cm in longest
diameter by CT, PET/CT, and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

- Must be in need of therapy as evidenced by at least one of the following criteria:

- Bulky disease defined as:

- A nodal or extranodal (except spleen) mass > 7 cm in its greater diameter
or,

- At least 3 nodal or extranodal sites >= 3 cm in diameter

- Presence of at least one B symptom:

- Fever (> 38 Celsius [C]) not due to infectious etiology

- Night sweats

- Weight loss > 10% in the past 6 months

- Fatigue due to lymphoma

- Splenomegaly (> 13 cm)

- Compression syndrome (ureteral, orbital, gastrointestinal)

- Any of the following cytopenias, due to lymphoma:

- Hemoglobin =< 10 g/dL

- Platelets =< 100 x 10^9/L

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) < 1.5 x 10^9/L

- Pleural or peritoneal effusion

- Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) > upper limit of normal (ULN) or beta (B)2
microglobulin > ULN

- Other lymphoma-mediated symptoms as determined by the treating physician

- Stage II, III, or IV disease

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status =< 2

- Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) > 1.0 x 10^9/L

- Platelet count > 50 x 10^9/L

- Prothrombin time (PT)/international normal ratio (INR) < 1.5 x (upper limit of normal)
ULN and partial thromboplastin time (PTT) (activated partial thromboplastin time
[aPTT]) < 1.5 x ULN (unless abnormalities are unrelated to coagulopathy or bleeding
disorder). When treated with warfarin or other vitamin K antagonists, then INR =< 3.0)

- Serum aspartate transaminase (AST) and alanine transaminase (ALT) < 3 x upper limit of
normal (ULN)

- Creatinine clearance > 30 ml/min calculated by modified Cockcroft-Gault formula

- Bilirubin < 1.5 x ULN unless bilirubin is due to Gilbert's syndrome, documented liver
involvement with lymphoma, or of non-hepatic origin, in which case bilirubin should
not exceed 3 g/dL

- Women of childbearing potential and men who are sexually active must practice reliable
contraceptive measures started at least 4 weeks before study therapy and continued for
18 months following discontinuation of therapy. Females of childbearing potential must
either completely abstain from heterosexual sexual contact or must use 2 methods of
reliable contraception. Reliable contraceptive methods include 1 highly effective
method (intrauterine device, birth control pills, hormonal patches, injections,
vaginal rings, or implants) and at least 1 additional method (condom, diaphragm, or
cervical cap) every time they have sex with a male. Males who are sexually active must
be practicing complete abstinence or agree to a condom during sexual contact with a
pregnant female or female of child bearing potential. Men must agree to not donate
sperm during and for 90 days after the last dose of study drug

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

- Sign (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:

- Known active central nervous system lymphoma or leptomeningeal disease

- Follicular lymphoma with evidence of diffuse large B-cell transformation

- Grade 3b follicular lymphoma

- Any prior history of other malignancy besides follicular lymphoma, unless the patient
has been free of disease for >= 5 years and felt to be at low risk for recurrence by
the treating physician, except:

- Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer or lentigo maligna without evidence
of disease

- Adequately treated cervical carcinoma in situ without evidence of disease

- Any life-threatening illness, medical condition, or organ system dysfunction which, in
the investigator's opinion, could compromise the subject's safety, interfere with the
absorption or metabolism of ibrutinib capsules, or put the study outcomes at undue
risk

- History of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions to monoclonal antibody therapy
(e.g., patients in whom dosing with obinutuzumab would be contraindicated for safety
reasons)

- Known history of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), active hepatitis C virus, active
hepatitis B virus infection, or known bacterial, viral, fungal, mycobacterial,
parasitic active systemic infection requiring treatment with IV antibiotics or
hospitalization within 4 weeks prior to the start of cycle 1

- Patients with inactive hepatitis B infection must adhere to hepatitis B
reactivation prophylaxis unless contraindicated

- Patients with a history of confirmed progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML),
positive test results for human T-lymphotropic 1 virus, or suspected active or latent
tuberculosis

- Clinically significant cardiovascular disease such as uncontrolled or symptomatic
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

- Significant screening electrocardiogram (ECG) abnormalities including left bundle
branch block, 2nd degree atrioventricular (AV) block, type II AV block, or 3rd degree
block. QT prolongation is not a significant ECG abnormality that would warrant
exclusion

- Female subjects who are pregnant, or breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant
while enrolled in this study or within 90 days of last dose of study drug. Male
