Study on Bcl-2 Inhibitor GDC-0199 with Obinutuzumab and Ibrutinib for Treating Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia

Sponsor: Kerry Rogers

Sponsor score: 0

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT02427451

This clinical trial is testing a new combination of drugs, including GDC-0199, obinutuzumab, and ibrutinib, to see if they can effectively treat chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) that has returned, not responded to treatment, or is newly diagnosed.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The study aims to find the best dose and assess the safety of the Bcl-2 inhibitor GDC-0199 when used with obinutuzumab and ibrutinib. These drugs work by blocking cancer cell growth and targeting specific cells. The goal is to see if this combination can be a better treatment option for patients with CLL that has relapsed, is refractory, or is previously untreated.

Description

The main goals of this study are to find a safe dose of venetoclax (GDC-0199) when combined with obinutuzumab and ibrutinib, and to see how well this combination works in treating CLL. Researchers will look at how many patients achieve a complete response with no detectable disease after 12 cycles of treatment. They will also measure overall response rates and how long patients stay free from disease progression. The study will involve taking blood samples to understand how the drugs work in the body and to identify any markers that predict response or resistance to treatment.

Participants will receive obinutuzumab through an IV on specific days for up to 8 cycles. Starting in the second cycle, they will take ibrutinib by mouth daily, and from the third cycle, they will also take GDC-0199 daily. Treatment will continue every 28 days for up to 14 cycles unless the disease progresses or side effects become unacceptable. After treatment, patients will have follow-up visits to monitor their health and the effectiveness of the treatment.
