    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The main objective of the study is to evaluate the overall response rate (ORR) of ibrutinib, as assessed by the Independent Review Committee (IRC), in subjects with Chemoimmunotherapy (CIT)-resistant follicular lymphoma (FL).
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in accordance with the ethical principles that have their origin in the Declaration of Helsinki and that are consistent with Good Clinical Practices and applicable regulatory requirements. Safety evaluations were based upon physical examinations, electrocardiograms, vital signs (temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure), and evaluation of changes to concomitant medications, and clinical laboratory parameters (hematology, serum chemistry, coagulation, hepatitis B and C screening, pregnancy test, serum immunoglobulin [IgG, IgM, IgA], and beta 2-microglobulin). Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status grade was used to assess changes in the subject’s daily living activities. Adverse events (AEs) were assessed throughout the study.

    Overall Response Rate (ORR) [1]
    End point description
    ORR is defined as the percentage of subjects who achieved complete response or partial response (CR or PR), as assessed by the Independent Review Committee (IRC), according to the International Working Group (IWG) revised response criteria for malignant lymphoma. The primary efficacy analysis of ORR was conducted at approximately 24 months after enrollment of the last subject. Complete Response includes complete disappearance of all detectable evidence of disease and related symptoms. Partial Response includes greater than or equal to 50 percent decrease in the sum of the product of the diameters (SPD) of up to 6 of the largest dominant nodes or nodal masses. No increase was observed in size of nodes, liver, or spleen, 1 PET positive site of disease. The analysis was based on the all-treated population includes all subjects who received at least 1 dose of study drug.

    End point title
    Duration of Response (DOR)
    End point description
    Duration of response is defined as the interval between the date of initial documentation of a response [complete response (CR) or partial response (PR)] and the date of first documented evidence of progressive disease (PD) (or relapse for subjects who experience CR during the study) or death, whichever occurs first. Subjects who are progression-free and alive, or have unknown status were censored at the last adequate disease assessment. Progressive disease or Relapsed Disease in most cases is the worsening, growth, or spread of the disease including abnormal lymph nodes, appearance of new nodal lesions/ extra nodal lesions, 50 percent increase from the nadir in the sum of the product of the diameters (SPD) of any previously involved nodes. This may happen until death, serious debility, or organ failure occurs. DOR was analyzed for subjects who achieved a CR or PR. Here, value 99999 indicates that the data is not estimable.

    End point description
    OS is defined as the interval between the date of the first dose of study drug and the date of the subject’s death from any cause. If the subject is alive at the time of the cut-off, it was censored at the last known alive date (the last date among visit date, adverse event start and end dates, treatment date, disease assessment date, and survival follow up date, and if available, survival sweep date, etc.). The all-treated population included all subjects who received at least 1 dose of study drug (Ibrutinib). Here, value 99999 indicates that data is not estimable because more than 50 percent of subjects were censored for this outcome measure.

    Substantial protocol amendments (globally)

    Were there any global substantial amendments to the protocol? Yes
    Date
    Amendment
    13 Sep 2012
    The global amendment INT-1 included clarification to the mechanism of action of ibrutinib. Additional safety data were added. Clarification regarding collection of tissue specimen for biomarker analysis was added. Other malignant diseases were observed in subjects who were treated with ibrutinib; it was unclear whether or not these events were attributable to ibrutinib. Therefore, other malignancies occurring in subjects treated in this study were reported and collected on the electronic case report form (eCRF). Guidance and clarification for the administration of cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4/5 subtype inhibitors/inducers during ibrutinib administration was provided. QT prolongation was not expected with ibrutinib; the precaution for concomitant use of ibrutinib and medications known to cause QT prolongation was simplified. Instructions for concomitant use of ibrutinib and antiplatelet agents, anticoagulants, supplements such as fish oil and vitamin E preparations were updated. Actual increase for the maximum plasma concentration and the area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to the time of the last quantifiable concentration in ibrutinib exposure when administered in combination with ketoconazole was updated. Additional pharmacokinetic (PK) samples were requested from subjects who received a strong or moderate cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4/5 inhibitor while receiving treatment with ibrutinib. Additional details for the Hepatitis B and C samples collected at screening and instructions for documentation of any additional laboratory testing performed in relation to an adverse event(s) (AE) were added. Interim analysis was removed.
    31 Jan 2014
    The global amendment INT-2 addressed the novel situation of delayed responses that had been observed after progressive disease (PD). In addition, this amendment addressed the situation of subjects with borderline disease progression and the management and evaluation of subjects with radiological evidence of PD. Language was added to allow for continuation of ibrutinib in subjects with radiological evidence of PD who were clinically stable or improving or exhibiting signs of tumor flare without confirmation of PD by positron emission tomography (PET) or biopsy, had no signs of impending organ compromise, and who were not experiencing significant toxicity. In addition, resumption of ibrutinib was permitted if a delayed response was observed after ibrutinib had been discontinued for PD. Additional new safety information (rashes and infection) based on studies conducted with ibrutinib and the incidence for treatment discontinuations in the monotherapy and combination therapy safety population was added.
    18 Dec 2014
    The global amendment INT-3 included the following changes: The clinical cutoff was extended to 15 months after the last subject enrolled to ensure that response data was fully captured for the study. PET scans performed at maximal tumor reduction could include response assessments at 12 months. Instructions for PET assessment for those subjects who had been on the study more than 48 weeks without a PET scan were added. Potential risks associated with ibrutinib were updated based on the 2014 investigator’s brochure (IB) (version 8.0) and new risks (cytopenias, diarrhea) were added. The definition of a major hemorrhagic bleeding event was broadened to include any bleeding event that was grade 3 or higher (including all hemorrhagic events requiring a transfusion of red blood cells), was considered a serious AE, or any central nervous system hemorrhage/hematoma. Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter have been reported in subjects treated with ibrutinib, particularly in subjects with cardiac risk factors, acute infections, and a previous history of atrial fibrillation. Instructions were added to periodically monitor subjects clinically for atrial fibrillation. Precautions for concomitant use of ibrutinib with CYP3A inhibitors, CYP3A inducers, P-glycoprotein (P-gp) substrates, QT prolonging agents, agents and anticoagulants were revised.
    16 Nov 2015
    The global amendment INT-5 included the following changes: Subjects continued to experience a partial or complete response to treatment with ibrutinib; therefore, the clinical cutoff was further extended to 24 months to allow for maturation of the data on the duration of response (DOR). Expanded disease evaluation to include screening, every 12 weeks (+/- 7 days) for the first 96 weeks, and then every 24 weeks (+/-) 14 days) thereafter until disease progression or the clinical cutoff. For subjects who had disease evaluations greater than 3 months prior to clinical cutoff, a final disease evaluation was to be performed at the last cycle visit prior to clinical cutoff.
