E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective for the phase I part of the study is: • To investigate the safety and tolerability of escalating intravenous (IV) doses of RO5072759 given as monotherapy in patients with CD20+ malignant solid and leukemic disease (i.e., B-CLL and NHL patients). The primary objective for the phase II part of the study is: • To investigate the efficacy and safety of two doses of RO5072759 (low and high dose) in 2 patient populations: relapsed/refractory indolent NHL and relapsed/refractory aggressive NHL. • To investigate the efficacy and safety of one dose of R05072759 (1000mg) in patients with relapsed/refractory B-CLL |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives of the study are as follows: • To characterize the pharmacokinetics of RO5072759 • To examine peripheral blood B-cell depletion and recovery with increasing doses of RO5072759 • To obtain preliminary data on the anti-tumor efficacy of RO5072759 given as monotherapy in patients with relapsed/refractory indolent NHL, relapsed/refractory aggressive NHL and relapsed/refractory B-CLL by evaluating: - overall response rate (ORR) - progression-free survival (PFS) - event-free survival (EFS) • To investigate pharmacogenetic parameters (including but not limited to FcγR IIa and IIIa and stromal derived factor-1 [SDF-1] polymorphisms) and pharmacodynamic parameters (including but not limited to bcl-2 rearrangements) in relation to efficacy |

E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
Patients in the Phase I part of the study must meet the following criteria: 1. Have documented CD20+ malignant disease (B-cell lymphoma or B-CLL [B-CLL confirmed by NCI Working Group Criteria, 2008) for which no therapy of curative or high priority exists and for whom treatment with an anti-CD20 antibody may be appropriate. For each patient, a prior biopsy demonstrating CD20 positivity of tumour cells must be available locally prior to dosing, and will be further confirmed following central review (For B-CLL patients confirmation of CD20+ status must be performed by flow cytometry. Patients with small lymphocytic lymphoma [SLL], must have CD20+ status confirmed by histopathological evaluation of a lymph node biopsy). Ideally, where feasible during the course of the study, confirmation that the disease remains CD20+, should be obtained (Fine needle aspiration cytology [FNAC] is sufficient for this purpose where feasible). In addition, where available, the initial diagnostic biopsy will also be reviewed centrally. 2. Have either: • Relapsed or refractory indolent NHL • Relapsed or refractory aggressive NHL • Relapsed or refractory B-CLL 3. All patients (NHL and B-CLL) must have at least one bi-dimensionally measurable lesion (>1.5 cm in its largest dimension by computerized tomography [CT] scan). In addition, where appropriate, for CLL patients, circulating lymphoctye cell assessments will be performed. Note that all measurable and evaluable disease must be assessed and documented prior to initiation of RO5072759 treatment. Tumor response will be based on the status of all areas of disease. Patients in both Phase I and II parts of the study must also meet the following criteria to be eligible for study entry: 4. Able and willing to provide written informed consent and to comply with the study protocol. 5. Have a clinical indication for treatment as determined by the investigator 6. Age >18 years. 7. ECOG performance status of 0-2 8. Life expectancy >12 weeks |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
Patients in both Phase I and II portions who meet any of the following criteria at screening will be excluded from the study: 1. Prior use of any investigational monoclonal antibody therapy or other agent within 6 months of study start 2. Prior use of any anti-cancer vaccine 3. Prior use of standard anti-lymphoma/leukemia therapy or radiation therapy within 4 weeks of enrollment 4. Prior administration of rituximab within 56 days of study entry. However, for those patients with aggressive disease (DLBCL and MCL) and any other patient, where immediate treatment is mandated, a rituximab wash-out period of 28 days will be considered acceptable. This will be approved by the Sponsor on a case by case basis. 5. Prior administration of radioimmunotherapy 3 months prior to study entry 6. History of severe allergic or anaphylactic reactions to humanized or murine monoclonal antibodies. Known sensitivity or allergy to murine products. 7. Central nervous system lymphoma 8. History of other malignancy which could affect compliance with the protocol or interpretation of results. Patients with a history of malignancy that has been treated, but not with curative intent, will also be excluded, unless the malignancy has been in remission without treatment for ≥2 years prior to enrollment. 9. Evidence of significant, uncontrolled concomitant diseases which could affect compliance with the protocol or interpretation of results, including significant cardiovascular disease (such as New York Heart Association Class III or IV cardiac disease, myocardial infarction within the last 6 months, unstable arrhythmias, or unstable angina) or pulmonary disease (including obstructive pulmonary disease and history of symptomatic bronchospasm). 10. Known active bacterial, viral (including human immunodeficiency virus [HIV]), fungal, mycobacterial, or other infection (excluding fungal infections of nail beds) or any major episode of infection requiring hospitalization or treatment with IV antibiotics (for IV antibiotics this pertains to completion of last course of antibiotic treatment) within 4 weeks of receiving the first dose of RO5072759 11. Recent major surgery (within 4 weeks prior to receiving first dose of RO5072759), other than for diagnosis. 12. Any of the following abnormal laboratory values: Renal – Calculated creatinine clearance by Cockcroft-Gault formula ≤ 50 mL/min for NHL patients, or ≤ 60 mL/min for the first 3 B-CLL patients enrolled in cohort 4b (See Appendix 5). The restriction of ≤ 60 mL/min for the first 3 B-CLL patients, may be modified for subsequent cohorts (i.e., reduced or increased) based upon review of the ongoing safety data but the calculated creatinine clearance should not be ≤ 50 mL/min. 13. Presence of positive test results for: - Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), - Hepatitis B (HB virus [B DNA], HB surface antigen [HBsAg], total HB core antibody [anti-HB-c] - Hepatitis C (Hepatitis C virus [HCV] antibody serology testing. 14. Women who are pregnant or lactating. 15. Fertile men or women of childbearing potential unless (1) surgically sterile or (2) using an adequate measure of contraception such as oral contraceptives, intrauterine device, or barrier method of contraception in conjunction with spermicidal jelly. Effective contraception is required throughout the study and (because of the long half-life of humanized monoclonal antibodies and the potential for prolonged lymphopenia) for at least 12 months after the last dose of RO5072759 16. Treatment within a clinical study within 30 days prior to study entry. 17. Ongoing corticosteroid use with the exception of corticosteroid use for other indications, is permitted up to a maximum dose of 30 mg/day prednisone or equivalent. 18. Patients will be excluded from the phase II part of the study if they have histological evidence of transformation of disease. For B-CLL patients, patients will be excluded from the phase II part of the study, if transformation to aggressive B-cell malignancy (e.g., large B-cell lymphoma, Richter’s syndrome, or prolymphocytic leukaemia (PLL) occurs. However, for the phase I part of the study, patients with a history of, or who have a recent transformation of disease, will be considered eligible, for, as long as the disease remains CD20+ |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Primary endpoint – Phase I part of the Study The primary endpoint for the phase I part of the study will be the incidence of DLTs. The number of patients with DLTs in each cohort will be summarized in listings for patients with NHL (i.e., relapsed/refractory fNHL, DLBCL, MCL) and patients with relapsed/refractory B-CLL. This endpoint will be assessed only in the phase I part of the study. Primary endpoint – Phase II part of the Study The primary endpoint for the phase II part of the study will be overall response rate. Overall response rate will be analysed in frequency tables including 95% Pearson-Clopper confidence intervals and 95% and 80% confidence intervals for the difference in response rate between the low and the high RO5072759 dose group. Analysis will be done by indication (NHL or B-CLL) with further subgroup analyses for the first group by indolent and aggressive NHL patients. For phase I data, this endpoint will be analysed by cohort |
