ROCKET-CLL Global Phase 3 Study: Comparing Rocbrutinib and Pirtobrutinib for Treating Relapsed or Resistant CLL/SLL

Sponsor: Newave Pharmaceutical Inc

Sponsor score: 0

ClinicalTrials ID:NCT07342478

This study is testing two medications, rocbrutinib and pirtobrutinib, to see which is more effective for adults with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) that has returned or not responded to previous treatments.

Patient Parameters

Program Overview

The study aims to compare the effectiveness and safety of two drugs, rocbrutinib and pirtobrutinib, in treating adults with CLL or SLL that has come back or not responded to treatment. Participants will be randomly assigned to take either rocbrutinib or pirtobrutinib daily. The main goal is to see how long patients live without their disease getting worse. Other goals include overall survival, response rates, and quality of life.

Description

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) are types of blood cancers where certain white blood cells grow uncontrollably. This study is for patients whose CLL or SLL has returned or not responded to previous treatments, specifically those who have already tried a type of medication called a covalent Bruton's tyrosine kinase inhibitor (cBTKi).

Rocbrutinib and pirtobrutinib are both medications that target specific proteins in cancer cells to stop them from growing. This study will compare these two drugs to see which one works better and is safer for patients. Participants will take one of these medications daily in 28-day cycles until their disease progresses, they experience unacceptable side effects, or they choose to stop.

The study will involve about 306 participants from around the world. Participants will be divided into two groups, with one group receiving rocbrutinib and the other receiving pirtobrutinib. The study will track how long participants live without their disease getting worse, as well as overall survival, response rates, and any side effects experienced.

Participants will be monitored through regular check-ups, blood tests, and other assessments to ensure their safety and to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment. The study also aims to understand how these drugs affect patients' quality of life and to explore potential biological markers that could predict treatment success.
