About

To assess the efficacy and safety of pirtobrutinib in participants with CLL/SLL who have progressed on first-line treatment with acalabrutinib.

Full description

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy and safety of pirtobrutinib in participants with CLL/SLL who have progressed on first-line treatment with acalabrutinib. A subset of participants who have disease progression on pirtobrutinib will be retreated with acalabrutinib to assess whether relapsed CLL can be re-sensitized to a covalent irreversible BTK inhibitor such as acalabrutinib, and thereby, remain on treatment within the BTK inhibitor class rather than transition into another CLL/SLL treatment.

• The study duration for each participant will be up to 3 years in total.
• For participants who receive pirtobrutinib alone, the visit frequency will be approximately every month for the first 6 months. After that, the visit frequency will be reduced to one visit approximately every 3 months for the subsequent 12 months. The final part of the Treatment Phase has 2 visits in the space of 6 months. There is one visit to the site after the Treatment Phase.
• Participants who have disease progression on pirtobrutinib and go on to receive acalabrutinib retreatment will visit the site approximately once every month for the first 6 months. After that, the visit frequency will be reduced to 2 visits in the space of 6 months. There is one visit to the site after the Treatment Phase.

Inclusion criteria

• Participant must be ≥ 18 at the time of signing the informed consent.
• Participants must have received acalabrutinib monotherapy as first-line treatment for CLL/SLL, have progressed per the iwCLL Criteria (Hallek et al 2018) and be eligible for second-line treatment by the same criteria.
• ECOG performance status of 0, 1, or 2.
• Adequate organ and BM function.
• Adequate coagulation, defined as aPTT or PTT and PT or INR not greater than 1.5 × ULN.
• Participants have a clearly defined, documented and accessible start date of their first line acalabrutinib monotherapy for CLL/SLL.
• Participants are eligible for the acalabrutinib retreatment phase only if they have progressed on pirtobrutinib monotherapy per iwCLL Criteria.

Exclusion criteria

• Major surgical procedure within 30 days before and not recovered adequately the first dose of study drug.
• Participants who experienced a major bleeding event or Grade ≥ 3 arrhythmia on prior treatment with a BTK inhibitor.
• History of bleeding diathesis (eg, hemophilia, von Willebrand disease).
• History of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within 6 months before first dose of study drug.
• Significant cardiovascular disease.
• History of PML.
• Any active significant infection.
• HIV positive
• Active HBV or HCV infection.
• Active CNS involvement by lymphoma, leptomeningeal disease, or spinal cord compression.
• Active auto-immune cytopenia.
• History of prior or current malignancy.
• Requires or receiving therapeutic anticoagulation with warfarin or equivalent vitamin K antagonists.
• Received a live virus vaccination within 28 days of first dose of study drug.
• Requires treatment with a strong CYP3A inhibitor or inducer. The use of strong CYP3A inhibitors within 1 week or strong CYP3A inducers within 3 weeks of the first dose of study drug is prohibited.

Trial design

Primary purpose: Treatment

Allocation: N/A

Interventional model: Single Group Assignment

Masking: None (Open label)

---

60 participants in 1 patient group

Pirtobrutinib and Acalabrutinib

Experimental group

Description:

Participants will receive dose A of pirtobrutinib starting Cycle 1 Day 1 for up to 24 cycles or until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death, or withdrawal of consent. If they progress on pirtobrutinib, a subset will receive dose B of acalabrutinib starting Cycle 1 Day 1 for up to 12 cycles or until disease progression, death, intolerance, unacceptable toxicity, or withdrawal of consent. Those benefiting from treatment will enter the Disease Follow-up period, continuing with pirtobrutinib or acalabrutinib until disease progression, unacceptable toxicity, death, or withdrawal of consent. After 36 months from starting pirtobrutinib, participants can continue receiving treatment off-trial if beneficial, in consultation with their physician.
