To evaluate the efficacy of inotuzumab ozogamicin in combination with rituximab, as measured by overall (objective) response rate (ORR), progression free survival (PFS), and duration of response (DoR) compared to the active comparator arm;
To compare patient-reported health-related quality of life (HRQOL), lymphoma
specific symptoms, and health status between the treatment arms. |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Subjects with a diagnosis of CD20 and CD22-positive aggressive NHL
(based on local immunophenotyping and histopathology) who have:
a. Refractory disease: defined as disease progression while receiving
their most recent prior cytotoxic chemotherapy (single-agent
immunotherapy as maintenance is not considered cytotoxic therapy);
b. Persistent disease: defined as stable disease or partial response at the
completion of their most recent prior cytotoxic chemotherapy;
c. Relapsed/recurrent disease: defined as complete response at the end
of their most recent prior cytotoxic chemotherapy with subsequent
relapse or disease recurrence. Eligible aggressive subtypes identified perthe 2008 World Health Organization classification include: a) DLBCL
(including DLBCL with follicular elements), b) transformed indolent
lymphoma with DLBCL, and c) primary mediastinal large B-cell
lymphomas.
2. Subjects must have received prior rituximab and must have received 1
to 3 prior regimens containing cytotoxic chemotherapies for aggressive
NHL. In order to ensure consistency in the application of the inclusion
criterion:
•Only count regimens that contain 1 or more cytotoxic drug. Do not
count palliation with steroids alone, vaccines, non-systemic therapy such
as radiation, or maintenance therapies
such as rituximab.
•Only count INDUCTION regimens. Do not count maintenance or
consolidation therapy.
•If a patient had progression of disease between 2 cytotoxic regimens,
they always count as 2 separate regimens.
Note: If a regimen was changed (e.g. because the patient did not
tolerate it or for financial reasons) and the patient did not progress
before the regimen was changed, it is not counted as a separate
regimen.
•If a patient has transformed indolent lymphoma with DLBCL, only count
the regimens received for aggressive lymphoma.
3. Subjects must not be candidates for intensive high-dose
chemotherapy, with or without an autologous stem cell transplant
(aSCT), due to one or more of the following factors: age, comorbid
disease, performance status, prior high-dose chemotherapy, or
persisting toxicities from prior chemotherapy. (*transplant preparatory
regimen, eg, BEAM, BEAC).
4. Age 18 years or older (For Japan: Age 20 years or older).
5. Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1.0 x 109/L (1000/μL) and
platelets ≥75 x 10to the power of 9/L (75,000/μL).
6. Serum creatinine ≤1.5 x the upper limit of normal (ULN) (or any
serum creatinine level associated with a measured or calculated
creatinine clearance of ≥40 mL/min).
7. Total bilirubin ≤1.5 mg/dL (25.65 μmol/L) unless Gilbert's syndrome,
aspartate and alanine aminotransferase (AST, ALT) ≤2.5 x ULN.
8. At least 1 measurable disease lesion that is ≥1.0 cm in 2
perpendicular dimensions, with the product diameter ≥2.25 cm2 by
computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Tumor lesions that are located in a previously irradiated area will be
considered measurable only if progression is documented following
completion of radiation therapy.
9. Negative serum pregnancy test within 1 week before first treatment if
the subject is a woman of childbearing potential. A woman of
childbearing potential is defined as one who is biologically capable of
becoming pregnant. This includes women who are using contraceptives
or whose sexual partners are either sterile or using contraceptives.
10. All female and male subjects who are biologically capable of having
children and are sexually active must agree and commit to the consistent
and correct use of a highly effective method of birth control for the
duration of the study, including up to 6 weeks after the last dose of
investigational product(due to recommendation in rituximab label) . A
subject is biologically capable of having children regardless if he or she
is using contraceptives or if his or her sexual partner is sterile or using
contraceptives.
11. Provisions of written informed consent indicating that the subject
has been informed of all pertinent aspects of the trial to be followed.
12. Willingness and ability to comply with the study scheduled visits,
treatment plans, laboratory tests, and other procedures, including the
completion of patient questionnaires. |
