A Study of Rocbrutinib in Participants With Relapse or Refractory Non-GCB Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma

This is an open-label, randomized controlled, multicenter Phase II clinical study primarily evaluating the efficacy and safety of Rocbrutinib monotherapy compared to the investigator's choice of BR/R2 regimen in patients with non-GCB DLBCL.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Age ≥18 years, any gender.
  • Pathologically confirmed DLBCL (not otherwise specified) according to the revised 2017 WHO classification of lymphoid neoplasms, with non-germinal center B-cell-like (non-GCB) subtype confirmed by Han's algorithm (Appendix 1), based on previous pathological records or confirmed during screening. Must be able to provide sufficient tumor tissue or slides (from previous or screening biopsies) for central laboratory confirmation of pathological diagnosis (if the local pathology report is clear, patients may be enrolled and start treatment without waiting for the central pathology report).
  • Patients who are refractory or have relapsed after at least two prior lines of therapy (at least one line must include an anti-CD20 antibody-containing regimen) (see section 6.3 for definition of refractory or relapsed).
  • At least one measurable lesion (nodal lesion with longest diameter >1.5 cm, extranodal lesion with longest diameter >1.0 cm).
  • Not planned for autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT).
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score ≤2.

Exclusion criteria

  • Primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma or known involvement of lymphoma in the CNS (including patients whose CNS lymphoma is currently in complete remission).
  • DLBCL resulting from histological transformation of an previously diagnosed indolent lymphoma [such as follicular lymphoma (FL), marginal zone lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, etc.] or pathological findings suggesting concomitant FL (any grade).
  • Diagnosis of other types of large B-cell lymphoma or special types of DLBCL, including but not limited to high-grade B-cell lymphoma, EBV-positive DLBCL, T-cell/histiocyte-rich large B-cell lymphoma, primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma, etc.
  • Previous exposure to Lobertinib or known allergy to any excipient of Lobertinib (including microcrystalline cellulose, croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, fumaric acid, and gastric-soluble film coating premix); allergy or intolerance to Rituximab or any of its excipients; allergy or intolerance to both Bendamustine and Lenalidomide or any of their excipients.
  • Previous refractoriness to BTK-targeting drugs.
  • Patients who have received autologous stem cell transplantation within 90 days prior to randomization; patients who have received allogeneic stem cell transplantation.

Treatment and study plan

Rocbrutinib

Drug

200mg qd PO. The treatment will continue until progressive disease, unacceptable toxicity, etc.

Bendamustine

Drug

Participants will receive a total of 6 cycles (a cycle being 28 days) 90 mg/m2 Bendamustine (IV infusion) on Days 1 and 2 of Cycles 1-6.

Rituximab

Drug

Participants will receive a total of 6 cycles (a cycle being 28 days) of 375 mg/m2 Rituximab (IV infusion) on Day 1 of each cycle.

Lenalidomide

Drug

20mg qd PO day 1-21

Primary outcomes

  1. Overall Response Rate

    Time frame: Up to 24 Months

    To assess the anti-tumor activity of Rocbrutinib and BR/R2 based on overall response rate (ORR) as assessed by Independent Reading Committee (IRC).

Secondary outcomes

  1. Overall Response Rate

    Time frame: Up to 24 Months

    To assess the anti-tumor activity of Rocbrutinib and BR/R2 based on overall response rate (ORR) as assessed by investigator.

  2. Complete remission rate

    Time frame: Up to 24 Months

    To assess the preliminary anti-tumor activity of Rocbrutinib and BR/R2 based on complete remission rate (CR) as assessed by investigator and IRC.

  3. Progression Free Survival

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

    To assess the preliminary anti-tumor activity of Rocbrutinib and BR/R2 based on Progression Free Survival (PFS) as assessed by investigator and IRC.

  4. Overall survival

    Time frame: Measured from the date of date of first dose to the date of death or last visit, and for up to 5 years after the last subject is enrolled.

    To assess the preliminary anti-tumor activity of Rocbrutinib and BR/R2 based on Overall survival (OS) as assessed by investigator and IRC.

  5. Duration of Response (DOR)

    Time frame: Up to 24 months

    To assess the preliminary anti-tumor activity of Rocbrutinib and BR/R2 based on Duration of response (DOR) as assessed by the Investigator and IRC.

  6. Time to Response (TTR)

    Time frame: Measured from the date of the first dose of study drug to the date of earliest response, and assessed up to 6 months.

    To assess the preliminary anti-tumor activity of Rocbrutinib and BR/R2 based on Time to response (TTR) as assessed by the Investigator and IRC.

  7. Safety Assessment

    Time frame: From first dose of study drug to 28 days after last dose of study drug

    To evaluate the safety of Rocbrutinib and BR/R2 by assessing incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events as determined by CTCAE v5.0
