E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The primary objective of this study is:
- To evaluate whether copanlisib in combination with rituximab is superior to placebo in combination with rituximab in prolonging progression free survival (PFS) in patients with relapsed iNHL who have received one or more lines of treatment, including rituximab, and who either had a treatment-free interval of ≥12 months after completion of the last rituximab-containing treatment, or for whom chemotherapy is contraindicated on reason of age, comorbidities, and/or residual toxicity. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
The secondary objectives of this study are to evaluate:
• The following characteristics of disease-related symptoms: “time to deterioration” and “time to improvement”
• Other radiological and clinical indicators of treatment efficacy
• Safety and tolerability of copanlisib
The other objectives of this study are to evaluate:
- Pharmacokinetics
- Biomarkers
- Quality of life |

3. Patients must have relapsed (recurrence after complete response or presented progression after partial response) after at least 1 prior line of therapy, including rituximab. Previous regimen is defined as one of following: at least 2 months of single-agent therapy; at least 2 consecutive cycles of polychemotherapy; autologous transplant; radioimmunotherapy. Previous exposure to PI3K (except to copanlisib) is acceptable provided there is no resistance. Patients with prior intolerance to PI3K inhibitors other than copanlisib are eligible.

A woman is considered of childbearing potential, i.e. fertile, following menarche and until becoming postmenopausal unless permanently sterile. Permanent sterilization methods include but are not limited to hysterectomy, bilateral salpingectomy and bilateral oophorectomy. A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for continuous 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in
postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a post-menopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. The investigator or a designated associate is requested to advise the patient how to achieve highly effective birth control (failure rate of less than 1%), e.g. intrauterine device (IUD), intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS), bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomized partner and sexual abstinence. Use of condoms by male patients is required unless female partner is permanently sterile

OR • be considered unfit to receive chemotherapy on reason of age, concomitant morbidities, and/or residual toxicity from previous treatments, or unwillingness to receive chemotherapy. Patients in whom chemotherapy is contraindicated are defined by one of the following features: oAge ≥80 years, oAge <80 years and at least 1 of the following conditions: •at least 3 grade 3 CIRS-G comorbidities, OR •at least 1 grade 4 CIRS-G comorbidity (if compatible to participation in the study) |
