Observational Study of Acalabrutinib in Patients With Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia in the United Kingdom

This is a retrospective observational research study to describe the characteristics and real-world clinical outcomes of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia receiving acalabrutinib in the United Kingdom (the EPIC study). Physicians treating chronic lymphocytic leukaemia patients with acalabrutinib, where the patients started treatment as part of the acalabrutinib Early Access Programme (EAP), will be invited to recruit patients. Clinical data will be extracted from the patients' clinical records in line with local laws. Data from this study will provide UK-specific real-world data on patients who were started on acalabrutinib as part of the UK acalabrutinib EAP.

About this study

  • Primary Objectives:

a. To estimate real-world progression-free survival in patients with CLL who received acalabrutinib in the first-line.

  • Secondary Objectives:
  • To estimate real-world overall survival in patients with CLL who received acalabrutinib in the first-line.
  • To describe real-world response rate to acalabrutinib in patients with CLL who received acalabrutinib in the first-line.
  • To describe the healthcare resource utilisation in patients with CLL who received acalabrutinib in the first-line.
  • To describe post-progression treatment patterns in patients with CLL who progressed from first-line acalabrutinib.
  • To describe real-world clinical progression free survival in patients with CLL who received acalabrutinib in the first-line and progressed during acalabrutinib treatment.
  • To describe acalabrutinib treatment patterns in patients with CLL who received acalabrutinib in the first-line.
  • To describe baseline clinical and demographic characteristics in patients with CLL who received acalabrutinib in the first-line.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

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

The study population will include treatment-naïve patients with chronic lymphocytic lymphoma (CLL)* who meet the following inclusion criteria:

  • Treatment-naïve CLL patients who were initiated on acalabrutinib as part of the UK Early Access Programme
  • Received their first dose of acalabrutinib between 1 April 2020 and 1 April 2021
  • Patients aged ≥18 years old
  • Note: patients later found to have small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL) may also be included in the EAP.

Primary outcomes

  1. Real-world progression free survival (rwPFS)

    Time frame: 12 months

    rwPFS will be defined as the time from index date until earliest record of real-world progression event as determined by physicians' assessment, or death (if no progression) or end of follow-up (for censored observations) whilst on first line treatment.

  3. Real-world progression free survival (rwPFS)

    Time frame: 36 months

    rwPFS will be defined as the time from index date until earliest record of real-world progression event as determined by physicians' assessment, or death (if no progression) or end of follow-up (for censored observations) whilst on first line treatment.

  4. Real-world progression free survival (rwPFS)

    Time frame: 48 months

    rwPFS will be defined as the time from index date until earliest record of real-world progression event as determined by physicians' assessment, or death (if no progression) or end of follow-up (for censored observations) whilst on first line treatment.

  5. Real-world progression free survival (rwPFS)

    Time frame: 60 months

    Time frame: 12 months

    rwOS will be defined as the time from index date up to death or last date the patient was known to be alive (for censored observations).

  2. Real-world overall survival (rwOS)

    Time frame: 24 months

    rwOS will be defined as the time from index date up to death or last date the patient was known to be alive (for censored observations).

  3. Real-world overall survival (rwOS)

    Time frame: 36 months

    rwOS will be defined as the time from index date up to death or last date the patient was known to be alive (for censored observations).

  4. Real-world overall survival (rwOS)

    Time frame: 48 months

  5. Real-world overall survival (rwOS)

    Time frame: 60 months

    rwOS will be defined as the time from index date up to death or last date the patient was known to be alive (for censored observations).

  6. Real-world response rate (rwRR)

    Time frame: 12 months

    rwRR will be defined as the proportion of patients with a recorded significant anti-cancer response and will be defined here as the sum of complete response, partial response and partial response + lymphocytosis. Response will be based on the on the documented assessment of the local investigator.
