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

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. IRC-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) in Arm A compared to Arm B [ Time Frame: 48 months ]
    PFS, defined as the time from date of randomization to date of IRC-assessed disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever comes first. Response is per International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) 20008 criteria (Hallek, et al), with clarification for treatment-related lymphocytosis (Cheson et al) 2012.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. 1. Investigator-assessed progression-free survival (PFS) in Arm A compared to Arm B [ Time Frame: 48 months ]
    PFS, defined as the time from date of randomization to date of IRC-assessed disease progression or death due to any cause, whichever comes first. Response is per International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) 20008 criteria (Hallek, et al), with clarification for treatment-related lymphocytosis (Cheson et al) 2012.

  2. 2. Investigator and IRC-assessed overall response rate (ORR) in Arm A compared to Arm B [ Time Frame: 48 months ]
    ORR is defined as best response of complete response (CR), complete response with incomplete bone marrow recovery (CRi), nodular partial response (nPR), or partial response as assessed by the IRC and Investigator, on or before initiation of subsequent anticancer therapy.

  3. 3. Overall survival (OS) in Arm A compared to Arm B [ Time Frame: 48 months ]
    OS is defined as the time from date of randomization to death due to any cause.

  4. 4. Patient reported outcomes (PROs) in Arm A compared to Arm B [ Time Frame: 48 months ]
    PROs are based on Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy- Fatigue (FACIT-Fatigue). PROs are not collected with Protocol Amendment Version 6.

  5. 5. Investigator and IRC-assessed duration of response (DOR) in Arm A compared to Arm B [ Time Frame: 48 months ]
    DOR is defined as the interval from first documentation of Investigator and IRC-assessed CR, CRi, nPR or PR, to first documentation of disease progression or death from any cause, whichever is earlier.

  6. 6. Time to next treatment (TTNT) in Arm A compared to Arm B [ Time Frame: 48 months ]
    TTNT is defined as the time from date of randomization to the date of institution of non-protocol specified treatment for CLL (or first dose of acalabrutinib for Arm B subjects who crossed over to receive acalabrutinib) or death due to any cause, whichever comes first.

    3. Presence of ≥ 5 x 10^9 B lymphocytes/L (5000/μL) in the peripheral blood (at any point since initial diagnosis).
  4. Must have documented CD20-positive CLL.

  5. Active disease meeting ≥ 1 of the following IWCLL 2008 criteria for requiring treatment:

    1. Evidence of progressive marrow failure as manifested by the development of, or worsening of, anemia (hemoglobin < 10 g/dL) and/or thrombocytopenia (platelets < 100,000/μL).
    2. Massive (i.e., ≥ 6 cm below the left costal margin), progressive, or symptomatic splenomegaly.

LDT may be obtained by linear regression extrapolation of ALC obtained at intervals of 2 weeks over an observation period of 2 to 3 months. In subjects with initial blood lymphocyte counts of < 30 x 10^9/L (30,000/μL), LDT should not be used as a single parameter to define indication for treatment. In addition, factors contributing to lymphocytosis or lymphadenopathy other than CLL (e.g., infections) should be excluded.
    5. Autoimmune anemia and/or thrombocytopenia that is poorly responsive to standard therapy.

    2. Platelet count ≥ 50,000 cells/μL (50 x 10^9/L), or ≥ 30,000 cells/μL (30 x 10^9/L) in subjects with documented bone marrow involvement, and without transfusion support 7 days before assessment. Subjects with transfusion-dependent thrombocytopenia are excluded. If an Investigator has chosen bendamustine/rituximab as the Arm B treatment, platelets must be ≥ 75,000 cells/μL (75 x 10^9/L).
