Interventions

  • Acalabrutinib (Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase (BTK) Inhibitor)
  • Obinutuzumab (Monoclonal Antibodies)
  • Rituximab (Monoclonal Antibodies)
  • Venetoclax (B-cell Lymphoma-2 (BCL-2) Inhibitor)
Trial OverviewThe safety and efficacy of acalabrutinib combined with obinutuzumab are being tested in four cohorts of participants with different disease statuses (treated/untreated). The study will assess how well this combination works for those who meet specific health criteria.
Participant Groups
4Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Cohort 4: Acalabrutinib+Obinutuzumab+Venetoclax (Treatment-naive)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
The treatment-naïve participants with CLL will receive oral acalabrutinib, IV infusion of obinutuzumab, and oral venetoclax. Participants will receive acalabrutinib Dose 2 BID in 28-day continuous cycles until disease progression, an unacceptable drug-related toxicity, or per the investigator the study treatment is intolerable or no longer in participant's best interest, whichever occurs first. Participants will receive obinutuzumab for total 6 cycles (from Cycles 2 to 7) as Dose 1 on Cycle 2 Day 1, Dose 2 on Cycle 2 Day 2, Dose 3 on Cycle 2 Days 8 and 15, and Dose 3 on Day 1 of Cycles 3 to 7. Participants will receive venetoclax weekly ramp-up schedule over 5 weeks from Cycles 3 to 15 as Dose 1 QD for 1 week on Cycle 3 Day 1, Dose 2 QD for 1 week on Cycle 3 Day 8, Dose 3 QD for 1 week on Cycle 3 Day 15, Dose 4 QD for 1 week on Cycle 3 Day 22, and from Cycle 4 Day 1 participants will receive Dose 5 QD until completion of Cycle 15.
Group II: Cohort 3: Acalabrutinib+Rituximab+Venetoclax (R/R)Experimental Treatment3 Interventions
The R/R participants with CLL will receive oral acalabrutinib, IV infusion of rituximab, and oral venetoclax. Participants will receive acalabrutinib Dose 2 BID in 28-day continuous cycles until disease progression, an unacceptable drug-related toxicity, or per the investigator the study treatment is intolerable or no longer in participant's best interest, whichever occurs first. Participants will receive rituximab for total 6 cycles (from Cycles 2 to 7) as Dose 1 on Cycle 2 Day 1, followed by Dose 1 every 3 weeks (Q3W) for 3 doses, then every 4 weeks (Q4W) for 5 doses (total 9 infusions through the end of Cycle 7). Participants will receive venetoclax weekly ramp-up schedule over 5 weeks from Cycles 3 to 15, Dose 1 QD for 1 week on Cycle 3 Day 1, Dose 2 QD for 1 week on Cycle 3 Day 8, Dose 3 QD for 1 week on Cycle 3 Day 15, Dose 4 QD for 1 week on Cycle 3 Day 22, and Dose 5 QD from Cycle 4 Day 1 until completion of Cycle 15.
Group III: Cohort 2: Acalabrutinib+Obinutuzumab (Treatment-naive)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Dose-escalation and dose-expansion phases will be conducted for treatment-naïve participants with CLL/ small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL). In dose-escalation phase, participants will receive oral acalabrutinib Dose 2 BID in first cycle (28-day cycle). In dose- expansion phase, participants will receive oral acalabrutinib Dose 2 BID in 28-day continuous cycles; and will receive IV infusion of obinutuzumab for total 6 cycles (from Cycles 2 to 7) as on Cycle 2 Day 1 participants will receive Dose 1, on Cycle 2 Day 2 participants will receive Dose 2, on Cycle 2 Days 8 and 15 participants will receive Dose 3, and on Day 1 of Cycles 3 to 7 participants will receive Dose 3. Participants will continue to receive acalabrutinib Dose 2 BID until disease progression, an unacceptable drug-related toxicity, or per the investigator the study treatment is intolerable or no longer in participant's best interest, whichever occurs first.
Group IV: Cohort 1: Acalabrutinib+Obinutuzumab (R/R)Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
Dose-escalation and dose-expansion phases will be conducted for relapsed/refractory (R/R) participants with CLL. In dose-escalation phase, participants will receive oral acalabrutinib Dose 1 once daily (QD), later the dose was switched to Dose 2 twice daily (BID) per Amendment 02. In dose- expansion phase, participants will receive oral acalabrutinib Dose 2 BID in 28-day continuous cycles; and will receive intravenous (IV) infusion of obinutuzumab for total 6 cycles (from Cycles 2 to 7) as on Cycle 2 Day 1 participants will receive Dose 1, on Cycle 2 Day 2 participants will receive Dose 2, on Cycle 2 Days 8 and 15 participants will receive Dose 3, and on Day 1 of Cycles 3 to 7 participants will receive Dose 3. Participants will continue to receive acalabrutinib Dose 2 BID until disease progression, an unacceptable drug-related toxicity, or per the investigator the study treatment is intolerable or no longer in participant's best interest, whichever occurs first.
