E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
- To evaluate progression-free survival (PFS) in subjects with previously untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who would otherwise be suitable for bendamustine and rituximab treatment as standard of care |
|

- To evaluate the effect of the addition of idelalisib (IDELA) to bendamustine and rituximab on minimal residual disease (MRD)
- To evaluate the effect of the addition of IDELA to bendamustine and rituximab on the magnitude of response and to evaluate overall survival
- To describe the safety profile observed with the addition of IDELA to bendamustine and rituximab |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Male or female ≥18 years of age.
2. Diagnosis of B-cell CLL, according to International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) and documented within medical records.
3. No prior therapy for CLL other than corticosteroids for disease complications.
4. CLL that warrants treatment based on pre-defined criteria.
5. Presence of measurable lymphadenopathy (defined as the presence of ≥1 nodal lesion that measures ≥2.0 cm in the longest dimension [LD] and ≥1.0 cm in the longest perpendicular dimension [LPD] as assessed by computed tomography [CT] or magnetic resonance imaging [MRI] and confirmed by the Independent Review Committee).
6. ECOG performance status of ≤2.
7. Required baseline laboratory data (within 28 days prior to randomization) as shown in the protocol.
8. For female subjects of childbearing potential, willing to use a protocol-recommended method of contraception during heterosexual intercourse from the signing of informed consent throughout the study treatment period and up to 30 days from the last dose of IDELA/placebo or bendamustine, or 12 months from the last dose of rituximab, whichever is later.
9. For male subjects of reproductive potential, having intercourse with females of childbearing potential, willing to use a protocol-recommended method of contraception during heterosexual intercourse from the randomization visit throughout the study treatment period and up to 6 months following the last dose of bendamustine or for 90 days following the last dose of IDELA/placebo or 12 months from the last dose of rituximab (whichever is later) and to refrain from sperm donation from randomization throughout the study treatment period and up to 6 months following the last dose of bendamustine or for 90 days following the last dose of IDELA/placebo or 12 months from the last dose of rituximab (whichever is later).
10. Lactating females must agree to discontinue nursing before study drug administration.
11. In the judgment of the investigator, participation in the protocol offers an acceptable benefit-to-risk ratio when considering current CLL disease status, medical condition, and the potential benefits and risks of alternative treatments for CLL.
12. Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, drug administration plan, imaging studies, laboratory tests, other study procedures, and study restrictions.
13. Evidence of a signed informed consent. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Known histological transformation from CLL to an aggressive lymphoma (ie, Richter transformation).
2. Known presence of myelodysplastic syndrome.
3. History of a non-CLL malignancy with the following exceptions:
a. the malignancy has been in remission without treatment for ≥5 years prior to randomization, or
b. carcinoma in situ of the cervix, or
c. adequately treated basal or squamous cell skin cancer or other localized non-melanoma skin cancer, or
d. surgically treated low-grade prostate cancer, or
e. DCIS of the breast treated with lumpectomy alone.
4. Known hypersensitivity or intolerance to any of the active substances or excipients in the formulations for idelalisib, bendamustine, or rituximab.
5. Evidence of ongoing systemic bacterial, fungal, or viral infection at the time of randomization.
6. Ongoing drug-induced liver injury, alcoholic liver disease, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, primary biliary cirrhosis, extrahepatic obstruction caused by cholelithiasis, cirrhosis of the liver, or portal hypertension.
7. History of non-infectious pneumonitis.
8. Ongoing inflammatory bowel disease.
9. History of prior allogeneic bone marrow progenitor cell or solid organ transplantation.
10. Ongoing immunosuppressive therapy other than corticosteroids.
11. Received last dose of study drug on another therapeutic clinical trial within 30 days prior to randomization.
12. Prior or ongoing clinically significant illness, medical condition, surgical history, physical finding, electrocardiogram (ECG) finding, or laboratory abnormality that, in the investigator’s opinion, could adversely affect the safety of the subject or impair the assessment of study results.
13. Patients who have received yellow fever vaccine within 30 days prior to randomization.
14. Patients who have undergone major surgery within 30 days prior to randomization. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Progression-free survival (PFS) – defined as the interval from randomization to the first documentation of definitive disease progression or death from any cause. Definitive disease progression is CLL progression based on standard criteria excluding lymphocytosis alone. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
One formal interim analysis for PFS is planned at ~121 events (~67%) of expected PFS events. The final analysis will be conducted after approximately the 121st event (IRC confirmed definitive CLL progression or death) occurs on study. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
- MRD negativity rate – defined as the proportion of subjects with MRD <10^-4, assessed by flow cytometry in bone marrow at Week 36 (±3 weeks) after therapy initiation. For subjects receiving the final dose of rituximab after the original scheduled date, the MRD assessment will be performed no less than 12 weeks after the last dose of rituximab or bendamustine (whichever is later).
- Overall response rate (ORR) – defined as the proportion of subjects who achieve a complete response confirmed (CR) or partial response (PR)
-Nodal response rate – defined as the proportion of subjects who achieve a 50% decrease from baseline in the sum of the products of the greatest perpendicular diameters (SPD) of index lesions
- CR rate – defined as the proportion of subjects with a confirmed CR
- Overall survival (OS) – defined as the interval from randomization to death from any cause |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The final analysis will be conducted after approximately the 121st event (IRC confirmed definitive CLL progression or death) occurs on study. |
