Summary

This will be a global Phase IV, open-label, randomised study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of acalabrutinib (monotherapy, 100 mg orally \[po\], twice daily \[bd\]) compared to investigator's choice of treatment, in patients with CLL (TN or R/R) and moderate to severe cardiac impairment. All patients will have cardiac impairment as defined by LVEF of \< 50%. Randomisation will be stratified by LVEF \> 40% vs ≤ 40% to stratify for moderate and severe cardiac impairment, which for this study are defined as follows: Severe cardiac impairment: in those with LVEF ≤ 40% Moderate cardiac impairment: in those with LVEF \> 40% to \< 50%. The study is planned to take place in approximately 20 centres globally. The study will be conducted in centres that have established close collaboration between the Haematology and Cardiology divisions, preferably with a cardio-oncologist on the team. An IDMC will be responsible for making recommendations for study continuation.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) who also have heart failure, specifically those with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 50%. Patients must be able to take oral medication twice daily and should not have other health conditions that would interfere with the study.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing Acalabrutinib, taken orally twice a day, against treatments chosen by the investigator in patients with CLL and moderate to severe heart failure. The safety and tolerability of these treatments are being compared, with special attention to how they affect heart function.
What are the potential side effects?
Acalabrutinib may cause side effects such as headaches, diarrhea, muscle pain, reduced blood cell counts leading to increased infection risk or bleeding problems. Heart-related side effects will be closely monitored due to existing cardiac impairment.

Study Objectives

Study objectives can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary study objectives
Safety endpoints 1: To evaluate the incidence of CV (CardioVascular) adverse events leading to drug discontinuation after acalabrutinib treatment compared to investigators choice of treatment.
Safety endpoints 2: To evaluate the duration on treatment prior to drug discontinuation due to CV adverse events after acalabrutinib treatment compared to investigators choice of treatment.
Safety endpoints 3: To evaluate the incidence of life threatening and fatal cardiac events of interest after acalabrutinib treatment compared to investigators choice of treatment.
