E.1 Medical condition or disease under investigation |
E.1.1 | Medical condition(s) being investigated |
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia |
|
MedDRA Classification |
E.1.3 | Condition being studied is a rare disease | Yes |
E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective is to evaluate progression free survival (PFS) of ofatumumab maintenance treatment versus no further treatment after remission induction in subjects with relapsed Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia (CLL). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Secondary objectives are to evaluate clinical benefit, safety, tolerability and health-related quality of life of subjects treated with ofatumumab versus no further treatment. An additional secondary objective is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics in CLL subjects on maintenance ofatumumab. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Adults with documented diagnosis of CLL based on the modified IWCLL updated NCI-WG guidelines [Hallek, 2008]
2. CR or PR according to the revised 2008 NCI-WG CLL criteria, confirmed by CT scan, after 2nd/3rd line treatment
3. The anti-leukemic treatment before study entry should have been at least 4 months of monotherapy with alkylating agents and/or at least 4 consecutive cycles of polychemotherapy (e.g. CVP), fludarabine-containing chemotherapy or immunochemotherapy
4. ECOG Performance Status of 0-2
5. Signed written informed consent prior to performing any study-specific procedures
French subjects: In France, a subject will be eligible for inclusion in this study only if either affiliated to or a beneficiary of a social security category.

|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Primary or secondary fludarabine-refractory subjects, defined as treatment failure (failure to achieve a CR or PR) or disease progression within 6 months of last anti-leukemic therapy [Hallek, 2008] NOTE: Subjects refractory to rituximab therapy as last therapy are permitted
2. Prior maintenance therapy
3. Known transformation of CLL (e.g. Richter’s transformation), prolymphocytic leukemia (PLL), or CNS involvement of CLL
4. Active Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia (AIHA) requiring treatment except if in the opinion of the investigator and medical monitor it is thought not to affect the subject’s safety, the conduct of the study or the interpretation of the data
5. Previous autologous or allogeneic stem cell transplantation
6. Chronic or current active infectious disease requiring systemic antibiotics, antifungal, or antiviral treatment such as, but not limited to, chronic renal infection, chronic chest infection with bronchiectasis, tuberculosis and active Hepatitis B or C (Positive serology for Hepatitis B (HB) defined as a positive test for HBsAg. In addition, if negative for HBsAg but HBcAb positive (regardless of HBsAb status), a HB DNA test will be performed and if positive the subject will be excluded*.)
7. Other past or current malignancy (with the exception of basal cell carcinoma of the skin or in situ carcinoma of the cervix or breast) unless the tumor was successfully treated with curative intent at least 2 years prior to trial entry except if in the opinion of the investigator and medical monitor it is thought not to affect the subject’s safety, the conduct of the study or the interpretation of the data
8. Clinically significant cardiac disease including unstable angina, acute myocardial infarction within 6 months prior to screening, congestive heart failure, and arrhythmia requiring therapy, with the exception of extra systoles or minor conduction abnormalities except if in the opinion of the investigator and medical monitor it is thought not to affect the subject’s safety, the conduct of the study or the interpretation of the data
9. History of significant cerebrovascular disease or event with symptoms or sequelae
10. Significant concurrent, uncontrolled medical condition that in the opinion of the investigator or GSK medical monitor contraindicates participation in this study
11. Glucocorticoid unless given in doses ≤ 100 mg/day hydrocortisone (or equivalent dose of other glucocorticoid) if for exacerbations other than CLL (e.g. asthma)
12. Known HIV positive
13. Screening laboratory values: • Platelets<50 x 10^9/L • Neutrophils<1.0 x 10^9/L • Creatinine > 1.5 times upper normal limit (unless normal creatinine clearance) • Total bilirubin > 1.5 times upper normal limit (unless due to liver involvement of CLL) • Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) > 2.5 times upper normal limit (unless due to liver involvement of CLL) • Alkaline phosphatase > 2.5 times upper normal limit
14. Known or suspected hypersensitivity to ofatumumab that in the opinion of the investigator or medical monitor contraindicates study participation
15. Subjects who have received treatment with any non-marketed drug substance or experimental therapy within 5-terminal half-lives or 4 weeks whichever is longer prior to first dose of study medication or currently participating in any other interventional clinical study Note: Participation in any other interventional clinical study after disease progression during post PD follow-up is permitted OR participation in any other interventional clinical study where the subject received ONLY standard approved CLL therapy is permitted.
16. Lactating women, women with a positive pregnancy test at Visit 1 or women (of childbearing potential) as well as men with partners of childbearing potential, who are not willing to use adequate contraception from study start through one year following last ofatumumab dose. Adequate contraception is defined as abstinence, oral hormonal birth control, implants of levonorgestrel, estrogenic vaginal ring, percutaneous contraceptive patches, intrauterine device, and male partner sterilization if male partner is sole partner for that subject. For females in the USA, the use of a double barrier method is also considered adequate (condom or occlusive cap plus spermicidal agent).
* If HBV DNA is negative, subject may be included but must undergo HBV DNA monitoring (see Section 6.3.4). Prophylactic antiviral therapy may be initiated at the discretion of the investigator.

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint is progression-free-survival which is defined as the time from randomization to the date of disease progression or death due to any cause. The investigator assessment of response will be assessed according to the IWCLL updated NCI-WG CLL criteria [Hallek, 2008]. |
