Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Pre-phase prednisone at a dose of either 40mg/m2 IV or 100mg orally (depending on drug available IV or oral) daily for 5-7 days will be mandatory. All subjects will receive ibrutinib 560mg orally daily, rituximab 375mg/m2 IV (rounded up as per local investigator discretion to the nearest 100mg) on day 1, cyclophosphamide 400mg/m2 IV day 1, doxorubicin 25mg/m2 IV day 1, vincristine 1mg IV and prednisone 40mg/m2 IV or 100mg orally daily on a 21 day schedule aiming for a total of 6 cycles. This will be followed directly by 2 cycles of ibrutinib 560mg orally daily and rituximab 375mg/m2 IV on day 1 (rounded up as per local investigator discretion to the nearest 100mg) on a 21 day schedule.
Pegfilgrastim G-CSF 6mg subcutaneous injection on day 4-5 of each cycle as tolerated.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 294304 0
The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety of ibrutinib-R-mini-CHOP in subjects with DLBCL as measured by deliverability.
Timepoint [1] 294304 0
Deliverability of Ibrutinib-R-mini-CHOP as measured by:
Average Relative Total Dose (ARTD), and
Average Relative Dose Intensity (ARDI) Hyrniuk’s model RDI = Total Dose Delivered/Total Time (DDI) / SDI for each cycle and for the total of 8 cycles.
Primary outcome [2] 294911 0
The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of ibrutinib-R-mini-CHOP in subjects with DLBCL as measured by overall survival.
Timepoint [2] 294911 0
Overall survival (OS) at 2 years.
Secondary outcome [1] 312997 0
Secondary objectives include assessing the:
toxicity of ibrutinib-R-mini-CHOP

Treatment related toxicities that are Grade 3 or worse will be captured using NCI CTC V4.03.

Cardiac toxicity will be measured by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).


The number (%) of patients with treatment related toxicities that are Grade 3 or worse will be calculated and summarised.

The number (%) of patients with cardiac toxicity as measured by left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) will be calculated and summarised. Cardiac toxicity is defined as >=10% absolute decline of LVEF to a LVEF <=50%.

Summary
Brief summary
The study will evaluate the deliverability and efficacy of Ibrutinib-R-mini-CHOP chemotherapy in elderly patients with newly diagnosed diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Who is it for? You may be eligible to join this study if you are aged 75 years or above and have been newly diagnosed with DLBCL for which you have received no prior treatment (excluding prednisone). Study details All participants in this study will be treated with a chemotherapy regime known as Ibrutinib-R-mini-CHOP. This will include treatment with the drugs prednisone (orally), ibrutinib (orally), rituximab intravenously ((IV) - i.e. administered directly into the vein), cyclophosphamide IV, doxorubicin IV, vincristine IV and Pegfilgrastim G-CSF (subcutaneous injection). Treatment duration will be for up to 8 x 28 day cycles as tolerated. All participants will be regularly assessed for a minimum of 2 years in order to evaluate the safety, toxicity and effectiveness of treatment.
