A Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Venetoclax (GDC-0199) Plus Bendamustine + Rituximab (BR) in Comparison With BR or Venetoclax Plus Rituximab in Participants With Relapsed and Refractory Follicular Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma (fNHL)

Trial Summary

What is the purpose of this trial?

This open-label, international, multicenter study will investigate the safety and efficacy of venetoclax (GDC-0199) in combination with bendamustine plus rituximab (venetoclax + BR) compared with BR alone in participants with relapsed and refractory fNHL, comparing two chemotherapy-containing regimens (Chemotherapy-Containing Cohort). In addition, an exploratory analysis of the safety and efficacy of venetoclax in combination with rituximab (venetoclax + rituximab), a chemotherapy-free regimen, will be performed (Chemotherapy-Free Cohort). Assignment to the Chemotherapy-Containing or Chemotherapy-Free Cohort will be decided at the discretion of the Investigator, unless one of the cohorts is not open to enrollment; in which case, participants may be enrolled only to the open cohort. The first 6 participants enrolled in the Chemotherapy-Containing Cohort (or more if required) will comprise the Safety Run-In group for Treatment Arm B, dosing venetoclax at 600 milligrams (mg) in combination with BR. Once a dose has been chosen from the Safety Run-In Period, randomization to the two treatment arms of the Chemotherapy-Containing Cohort (Arms B and C) will begin.

Treatment Details

Interventions

• Bendamustine (Anti-tumor antibiotic)
• Rituximab (Monoclonal Antibodies)
• Venetoclax (BCL-2 Inhibitor)

Participant Groups

Group I: Chemotherapy-Free Cohort: Arm A (Venetoclax + Rituximab) Experimental Treatment 2 Interventions

Participants will receive venetoclax 800 mg orally once daily for 1 year along with rituximab 375 mg/m\^2 IV infusion on Days 1, 8, 15, 22 of Cycle 1 and Day 1 of Cycles 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12. Each cycle will be of 28 days.

Group II: Chemotherapy-Containing Cohort:Safety Run-In (Venetoclax + BR) Experimental Treatment 3 Interventions

Participants will receive venetoclax no more than 600 milligrams (mg) orally once daily continuously along with rituximab 375 milligrams per square meter (mg/m\^2) intravenous (IV) infusion on Day 1 of 28-day cycle and bendamustine 90 mg/m\^2 IV infusion on Days 1 and 2 of the 28-day cycle. Safety run-in will continue until first 9 participants complete the safety observation window of 28 days. Participants will continue receiving the same treatment as decided for Arm B.

Group III: Chemotherapy-Containing Cohort: Arm B (Venetoclax + BR) Experimental Treatment 3 Interventions

Participants will receive venetoclax at doses decided from safety run-in orally once daily continuously for 1 year along with rituximab 375 mg/m\^2 IV infusion on Day 1 of each 28-day cycle and bendamustine 90 mg/m\^2 IV infusion on Days 1 and 2 of each 28-day cycle, for 6 cycles.

Group IV: Chemotherapy-Containing Cohort: Arm C (BR) Active Control 2 Interventions

Participants will receive rituximab 375 mg/m\^2 IV infusion on Day 1 of each 28-day cycle and bendamustine 90 mg/m\^2 IV infusion on Days 1 and 2 of each 28-day cycle, for 6 cycles.
