Study Summary

This study will evaluate fixed-duration therapy with pirtobrutinib and obinutuzumab given over 12 cycles (approximately 1 year) as first-line treatment of chronic lymphocytic leukemia or small lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL or SLL).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Key Inclusion Criteria:

  • Meet 2018 International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (IWCLL) guidelinesfor the diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or small lymphocyticlymphoma (SLL).

  • Presence of measurable disease (absolute lymphocyte count > 5,000/µL, palpable ormeasurable lymph nodes ≥1.5cm on imaging, or bone marrow involvement of CLL ≥ 30%).

  • No prior systemic therapy for CLL or SLL.

  • Currently have an indication for treatment as defined by the following 2018 IWCLLguidelines

  • Age ≥ 18 years

  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status ≤ 2

  • Adequate organ and bone marrow function as defined by the study protocol

  • Ability to take oral medications.

  • Ability to understand and the willingness to sign a written informed consentdocument.

Exclusion

Key Exclusion Criteria:

  • Known or suspected Richter's transformation or known central nervous systeminvolvement.

  • History of bleeding disorders

  • History of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within 6 months of starting studytherapy.

  • Significant cardiovascular disease such as uncontrolled arrhythmia, Class 3 or 4congestive heart failure as defined by the New York Heart Association FunctionalClassification, or left ventricular ejection fraction < 40% by any methods in the 12months prior to study therapy.

  • History of other malignancies with life expectancy of < 2 years.

  • Receiving any other investigational agents.

  • Concurrent systemic immunosuppression < 28 days of study therapy or administrationof > 20 mg of prednisone or equivalent daily < 7 days of study therapy.

  • Vaccinated with live vaccine within 4 weeks of starting study therapy.

  • Major surgery within 4 weeks of starting study therapy.

  • Ongoing or recent infection requiring intravenous antimicrobials at time ofscreening. Prophylactic antibiotics are allowed if there is no evidence of activeinfection and the antibiotics is not included on the list of the prohibitedmedications.

  • Patients who have tested positive for HIV are excluded due to potential drug-druginteractions between anti-retroviral medications and pirtobrutinib and risk ofopportunistic infections with both HIV and irreversible BTK inhibitors. For patientswith unknown HIV status, HIV testing will be performed at Screening and resultshould be negative for enrollment.

  • Active human T cell leukemia virus infection or active hepatitis B or C virusinfection

  • Known active cytomegalovirus infection

  • Pregnancy, lactation or plan to breastfeed during the study or within 6 months ofthe last dose of study treatment.

  • Clinically significant active malabsorption syndrome or other condition likely toaffect gastrointestinal absorption of the study drug

  • Active uncontrolled auto-immune cytopenia.

  • Significant co-morbid condition or disease.

Study Description

This is an open-label, multicenter, single-arm phase 2 study of pirtobrutinib with obinutuzumab for participants with CLL or SLL. Eligible participants will receive 6 cycles of pirtobrutinib alone followed by an additional 6 cycles of pirtobrutinib-obinutuzumab combination therapy. All participants will stop treatment after 12 cycles in total (approximately 1 year).

If CLL progresses and requires treatment after 1-year of therapy, participants will receive retreatment with pirtobrutinib only. Participants will be followed for up to a total of 10 years. Up to 60 participants will take part in this study.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved pirtobrutinib for continuous treatment of CLL that has relapsed or become refractory to other treatments. Pirtobrutinib is not approved for the first-line treatment of CLL/SLL nor for fixed-duration therapy. The FDA has approved obinutuzumab for the treatment of CLL.

The research study procedures include screening for eligibility, study treatment visits, electrocardiograms, imaging (e.g. computerized tomography or CT scans), blood tests, saliva tests, bone marrow biopsies, and/or lymph node biopsies (if feasible).

Loxo Oncology at Eli Lilly and Company is supporting this study by providing pirtobrutinib and research funding.
