Brief Summary:
This phase III trial studies ibrutinib and rituximab to see how well they work compared to fludarabine phosphate, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab in treating patients with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma. Ibrutinib may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. Chemotherapy drugs, such as fludarabine phosphate and cyclophosphamide, work in different ways to stop the growth of cancer cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Rituximab 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. It is not yet known whether fludarabine phosphate, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab may work better than ibrutinib and rituximab in treating patients with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma.

Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Progression free survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: The time from randomization to progression or to death without documentation of progression, assessed up to 10 years ]
    A stratified logrank test applied to all patients as randomized will be the primary analysis, with age, Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status, disease stage, and baseline cytogenetic abnormalities as stratification factors. The same analysis applied to eligible patients only will also be performed as a sensitivity analysis. Cox proportional hazards models will be used to assess possible effects of clinical and biological characteristics on outcome, including age, gender, disease stage, cytogenetic abnormalities, ECOG performance status, and important mutations.

  2. Change in quality of life [ Time Frame: Baseline to 12 months after beginning therapy ]
    Will be assessed using Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy -Leukemia (FACT-Leu) Trial Outcome Index (TOI).


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Overall survival (OS) [ Time Frame: Time from randomization until death due to any cause, assessed up to 10 years ]
    A stratified logrank test applied to all patients as randomized will be the primary analysis for OS, with age, ECOG performance status, disease stage, and baseline cytogenetic abnormalities as stratification factors. The same analysis applied to eligible patients only will also be performed as a sensitivity analysis. Cox proportional hazards models will be used to assess possible effects of clinical and biological characteristics on outcome, including age, gender, disease stage, cytogenetic abnormalities, ECOG performance status, and important mutations.

  2. Incidence of toxicity, defined as adverse events that are classified as either possibly, probably, or definitely related to study treatment, graded according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Common Terminology for Adverse Events version 4.0 [ Time Frame: Up to 10 years ]
    The maximum grade for each type of toxicity will be recorded for each patient, and frequency tables will be reviewed to determine toxicity patterns. In addition, all adverse event data that is graded as 3, 4, or 5 will be reviewed and classified as either "unrelated or unlikely to be related" to study treatment in the event of an actual relationship developing. Effective April 1, 2018 adverse event reporting will use Common Terminology for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0.

  3. Change in FACT-Leu TOI score [ Time Frame: Baseline to 3 months after beginning therapy ]
    The change in FACT-Leu TOI score will be compared between arm A and arm B to assess the short-term effect of the two therapies on quality of life (QOL).

  4. Change in FACT-Leu TOI score [ Time Frame: Baseline to 6 months after beginning therapy ]
    The change in FACT-Leu TOI score from the time of randomization to 6 months after beginning therapy will be compared between the two treatment arms in order to provide additional information regarding the toxicity of the different regimens.

  5. Impact of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) on QOL [ Time Frame: Baseline ]
    The social well-being and emotional well-being components of the FACT-General (G) will be administered at study entry. The entire FACT-Leukemia instrument (FACT-G and the leukemia subscale) at baseline will be analyzed using descriptive statistics to assess the impact of CLL on QOL independent of treatment.

  6. Adherence to prescription assessed by the Moriskey Adherence Scale (Arm A only) [ Time Frame: Up to 24 months ]
    Descriptive statistics will be used to summarize trend in adherence to prescription.
