E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Phase 2:
• estimate the complete metabolic response (CMR) rate following blinatumomab monotherapy administered in the second salvage (S2) treatment of transplant-eligible subjects with relapsed or refractory (R/R) aggressive B-NHL who have not achieved CMR1 following 2 cycles of standard platinum-based first salvage (S1) chemotherapy
Phase 3:
• compare the CMR rates following blinatumomab to those following investigator’s choice (IC) S2 chemotherapy |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
Phase 2:
• To evaluate the efficacy parameters following blinatumomab treatment, of:
- Response duration
- The rate of successful hematopoietic stem cell mobilization
• To evaluate the safety of blinatumomab in the S2 setting
Phase 3:
• To compare the efficacy of blinatumomab to investigator’s choice chemotherapy (ICC) in:
- Overall survival
- Response duration
- Rate of successful HSCs mobilisation
- Ability to proceed to hematopoietic stem cell transplant (both autologous and allogeneic) rates among responding subjects (CMR) or those in sustained partial metabolic response (PMR)
- Objective response rate (ORR; CMR + PMR)
• To compare the safety profile of blinatumomab to that of ICC
• To compare the quality of life reported by subjects treated with blinatumomab or ICC
Phases 2 and 3
• To characterize the pharmacokinetic parameters of blinatumomab administered to subjects with R/R aggressive B-NHL
• Progression-free survival |
|
E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
studyspecific
activities/procedures OR subject's legally acceptable
representative has provided informed consent prior to any study-specific
activities/procedures being initiated when the subject has any kind of
condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may compromise the
ability of the subject to give written informed consent.
2. Age ≥ 18 at the time of informed consent
3. Biopsy proven aggressive B-NHL, including DLBCL NOS, follicular
lymphoma Grade 3B, Primary Mediastinal B-Cell Lymphoma, T-cell rich
B-cell lymphoma, or DLBCL that represents transformation of indolent
NHL, (including follicular, marginal zone, and lymphoplasmacytoid
lymphoma) excluding chronic lymphocytic leukemia or Hodgkin
Lymphoma. Subjects with prior indolent lymphoma must have received
therapy after a diagnosis of transformation that is appropriate for
aggressive histology as described in 4. The following histologies are not
eligible:
• Lymphoblastic lymphoma
• Burkitt lymphoma
• Mantle cell lymphoma
Any histologies not specifically mentioned must be discussed with the
medical monitor. For subjects enrolled in the phase 3 portion of study,
pathologic samples will be submitted for central confirmation of disease
histology.
4. Refractory (no prior CMR) or relapsed (prior CMR) following front line
treatment of standard multiagent chemotherapy containing an
anthracycline AND an approved anti-CD20 agent. Examples of
appropriate therapy include but are not limited to R-CHOP (14 or 21), RCHOEP,
and DA-R-EOCH. For subjects with refractory disease and who
have received radiotherapy, PET positivity should be demonstrated no
less than 6 weeks after the last dose of radiotherapy
5. Biopsy-proven confirmation of relapsed disease. For subjects with de
novo aggressive B-cell lymphoma and primary refractory disease (ie
never achieving CMR), biopsy of persistent disease is preferred but
persistent PET positivity (ie Deauville ≥ 4) is acceptable at a minimum.
For all subjects that have received radiotherapy for DLBCL, PET should
be performed no less than 42 days (6 weeks) after the last dose of
radiotherapy. For subjects with transformed disease that has been
characterized as refractory, rebiopsy (core or excisional biopsy) with
demonstration of persistent aggressive B-NHL is required
6. Received a minimum of 2 cycles of standard of care platinum-based
chemotherapy in the S1 setting and had a response of PMD, NMR, PMR as
centrally assessed by PET-CT scan or received at least 1 cycle of S1
chemotherapy and had evidence of PD as centrally assessed. A presalvage
scan is required to be submitted to the central reader if a
subject had only 1 cycle of pre-salvage chemotherapy.
7. Radiographically measurable disease with a clearly demarcated nodal
lesion at least 1.5 cm in its largest dimension or a target extranodal
lesion at least 1.0 cm in its largest dimension
8. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤ 2
9. Intention to proceed to HDT and autologous HSCT per institutional
standards
10. Laboratory parameters (completed within 14 days prior to
enrollment and after the last cycle of S1 chemotherapy):
Hematology:
• Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.0 x 1000000000/L
• Platelets ≥ 75 x 1000000000/L
Chemistry:
• Creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min (calculated using Cockcroft Gault
equation)
•Aspartate aminotransferase (AST)/alanine aminotransferase (ALT) <
3X upper limit of normal (ULN)
•Total bilirubin (TBL) < 2x ULN (unless Gilbert's disease or if liver
involvement with lymphoma) |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |

2. Treatment within 30 days prior to randomization with another investigational device or drug study (ies). Other investigational procedures while participating in this study are excluded
3. Prior anti-CD19-directed therapies
4. Prior HDT with autologous HSCT
5. Prior allogeneic HSCT
6. Presence of clinically relevant central nervous system (CNS) pathology such as epilepsy, paresis, aphasia, stroke, severe brain injury, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, cerebellar disease, organic brain syndrome, or psychosis
7. Evidence of CNS involvement by NHL
8. Known infection with human immunodeficiency virus or chronic infection with hepatitis B virus (hepatitis B surface antigen positive) or hepatitis C virus (anti-hepatitis C virus positive)
9. History of malignancy other than B-NHL within the past 3 years with the exception of:
• Malignancy treated with curative intent and with no known active disease present for ≥ 3 years before enrollment and felt to be at low risk for recurrence by the treating physician

11. Subject likely to not be available to complete all protocol-required study visits or procedures, and/or to comply with all required study procedures to the best of the subject and investigator’s knowledge.
12. History or evidence of any other clinically significant disorder, condition or disease (with the exception of those outlined above) that, in the opinion of the investigator or Amgen physician, if consulted, would pose a risk to subject safety or interfere with the study evaluation, procedures or completion.
13. Female subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding or planning to become pregnant or breastfeed while receiving blinatumomab and for an additional 48 hours after the last dose of blinatumomab. (Females of child bearing potential should only be included after a confirmed menstrual period and a negative highly sensitive urine or serum pregnancy test.)
14. Female subjects of childbearing potential unwilling to use an effective method of contraception while receiving blinatumomab and for an additional 48 hours after the last dose of blinatumomab.
Note: The pregnancy, breastfeeding and contraceptive requirements are specific for blinatumomab. The investigator is responsible for providing the subject (male and female) with pregnancy and breastfeeding (female only) avoidance requirements for other medications given during the study. |
