REtreatment With VEnetoclax and Acalabrutinib After Venetoclax Limited Duration (REVEAL)

Recruiting now · Phase 2

Conditions studied: CLL/SLL

In brief

Fixed-duration regimens containing combinations of venetoclax with CD20 targeting agents are expected to soon become standard practice in first-line patients with chronic lymfocytic leukemia (CLL). The advantage of a fixed duration venetoclax combination as part of first-line treatment is the potential to retreat with venetoclax in patients who develop relapsed disease after a treatment free period. However, efficacy of venetoclax retreatment following a fixed duration venetoclax combination is still hypothetical as clinical data are lacking. Thus, there is an urgent need for data proving efficacy of venetoclax combinations following venetoclax treatment cessation. Testing of a novel venetoclax-containing regimen for relapsed CLL without the repeat of anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody (mAb) is a rational approach.

Who can join

Age: 18 and older. Sex: any. Healthy volunteers: not accepted.

You may qualify if…

• Documented CLL or SLL requiring treatment according to IWCLL criteria (appendix A) after at least (clinical) partial response as best response after the following initial study treatment: venetoclax-rituximab in HOVON 140/GAIA or venetoclax-obinutuzumab in HOVON 139/GIVE or HOVON 140/GAIA;
• WHO/ECOG performance status 0-3 (appendix C), stage 3 only if attributable to CLL
• Age at least 18 years;
• Adequate BM function defined as:
• Hemoglobin >5 mmol/l or Hb > 8 g/dL
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) >0.75 x 109/L (750/μL), unless directly attributable to CLL infiltration of the BM, proven by BM biopsy
• Platelet count >30 x 109/L (30,000/μL) without transfusion and irrespective whether it is attributable to CLL infiltration in the BM;
• Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) (MDRD) or estimated creatinine clearance (CrCl ≥ 30ml/min (Cockcroft-Gault appendix E); Please note: in case eGFR or CrCl is <50ml/min the patient needs to be considered high risk for TLS
• Adequate liver function as indicated:
• Serum aspartate transaminase (ASAT) and alanine transaminase (ALAT) ≤ 3.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN);
• Bilirubin ≤1.5 x ULN (unless bilirubin rise is due to Gilbert's syndrome or of nonhepatic origin);
• Prothrombin time (PT)/International normal ratio (INR) <1.5 x ULN and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) <1.5 x ULN;
• Negative serological testing for hepatitis B virus (HBV) (Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) negative and hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc) negative) and hepatitis C virus (hepatitis C antibody). Subjects who are positive for anti-HBc or hepatitis C antibody may be included if they have a negative PCR within 6 weeks before enrollment. Those who are PCR positive will be excluded; Please note: For patients positive for anti-HBc HBV-DNA PCR has to be repeated every month until 12 months after last dose of study treatment.
• Patient is able and willing to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements;
• Patient is capable of giving informed consent;
• Written informed consent.

You may not qualify if…

• Any prior therapy with BTK inhibitor;
• Prior treatment with venetoclax other than first line;
• Other therapy with exception of chemo-/immunotherapy which is allowed also after venetoclax first line relapse;
• Transformation of CLL (Richter's transformation);
• Patient with a history of confirmed progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML);
• Malignancies other than CLL currently requiring systemic therapy or not treated in curative intention or showing signs of progression after curative treatment;
• Known allergy to xanthine oxidase inhibitors and/or rasburicase;

• Active bleeding or history of bleeding diathesis (e.g. hemophilia or von Willebrand disease);
• Active fungal, bacterial, and/or viral infection that requires systemic therapy; Please note: active controlled as well as chronic/recurrent infections are at risk of reactivation/infection during treatment;
• Concurrent severe and/or uncontrolled medical condition (e.g. uncontrolled: infection, auto-immune hemolysis, immune thrombocytopenia, diabetes, hypertension, hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism etc.);
• Patient known to be HIV-positive;
• Patient requiring treatment with a strong cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A inhibitor/inducer (see appendix J) or anticoagulant therapy with warfarin or phenoprocoumon or other vitamin K antagonists; Please note: Patients being treated with DOACs apixaban, edoxaban or rivaroxaban can be included, but must be properly informed about the potential risk of bleeding under treatment with acalabrutinib. (see appendix J)
• History of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within 6 months prior to registration;
• Severe cardiovascular disease (arrhythmias requiring chronic treatment, congestive heart failure or symptomatic ischemic heart disease, myocardial infarction within 6 months) (CTCAE grade III-IV, see appendix D);
• Severe pulmonary dysfunction (CTCAE grade III-IV, see appendix D);
• Severe neurological or psychiatric disease (CTCAE grade III-IV, see appendix D);
• Patient who has difficulty with or are unable to swallow oral medication, or have significant gastrointestinal disease that would limit absorption of oral medication;
• Vaccination with live vaccines within 28 days prior to registration;
• Use of any other experimental drug or therapy within 28 days of registration;

• Steroid therapy within 10 days prior to registration, with the exception of inhaled steroids for asthma, topical steroids, steroids up to 20 mg or dose equivalents of prednisolone daily to control autoimmune phenomenon's, or replacement/stress corticosteroids;
• Pregnant women and nursing mothers;
• Fertile men or women of childbearing potential unless: (1) surgically sterile or ≥ 2 years after the onset of menopause; (2) willing to use a highly effective contraceptive method such as oral contraceptives, intrauterine device, sexual abstinence or combination of male condom with either cap, diaphragm, or sponge with spermicide (double barrier methods) during study treatment and for 30 days after end of treatment;
