E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective is to determine whether the addition of ibrutinib to BR significantly improves PFS compared with BR in subjects with relapsed or refractory CLL/SLL. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives are:
-To evaluate the safety of ibrutinib in combination with BR
-To evaluate the ORR
-To evaluate the OS
-To evaluate the rate of MRD-negative remissions
-To evaluate improvement in hematologic parameters
-To evaluate improvement of disease-related symptoms
-To evaluate patient-reported symptoms, functional status, and well-being as measured by European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC-QLQ)-C30, EORTC QLQ-CLL 16, EQ-5D-5L, and Functional Assessm. of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT)-Fatigue Scale
-To characterize the PK of ibrutinib and explore potential effect on BR PK, the potential relationships between ibrutinib metrics of exposure with relevant clinical or biomarker information
-To examine biomarkers related to BCR and compensatory signaling pathways and explore their association with resistance to ibrutinib treatment |
