Background
GREEN (NCT01905943) is an ongoing phase 3b, open-label trial of G alone or with chemotherapy in pts with previously untreated (1L) or relapsed/refractory (R/R) CLL; the primary outcome is safety.
Aims
To assess the frequency, type and severity of AEs in all pts in GREEN, based on a 6-month safety review (data cut-off for analysis, 26 August 2015).
Methods
Enrolled pts are aged ≥18 yrs with documented CLL, ECOG PS 0-2 and adequate hematologic function. Pts receive G 1000mg IV, alone or with chemotherapy (at investigator’s discretion), on days 1 (dose split over 2 days [25+975mg or 100+900mg]), 8 and 15 of cycle (C)1, and day 1 of C2-6 (six 28-day cycles). Chemotherapy options were: fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (FC) for fit pts only (CIRS ≤6 and CrCl ≥70mL/min); chlorambucil (Clb) for unfit pts only (CIRS >6 and/or CrCl <70mL/min), or bendamustine (B) for any pt. Pts refractory to previous G monotherapy had to receive G with chemotherapy. All pts gave informed consent.
Results
In 825 pts analyzed (1L, 485; R/R, 340), median age was 66.0 (33-90) yrs, 63.4% were male, 434 (52.6%) were at risk of tumor lysis syndrome (TLS; tumor burden ≥10cm or ≥5cm but <10cm with lymphocytes ≥25x109/L) and 41.1%/33.5% were Binet stage B/C. Median observation time was 12.7 (0.1-22.1) months and median exposure time was 20.3 (0.1-33.1) weeks. AEs, grade ≥3 AEs and SAEs occurred in 96.1%, 72.0% and 43.1% of 1L pts, and 96.5%, 73.8% and 46.5% of R/R pts, respectively (results by treatment group in Table). The most common grade ≥3 AEs were neutropenia (44.7%), thrombocytopenia (TCP; 15.9%), anemia (9.0%), febrile neutropenia (6.9%), and leukopenia (6.2%). AEs were considered related to G treatment in 83.0% pts, most commonly neutropenia (36.0%), TCP (23.0%), pyrexia (21.7%), nausea (17.5%), chills (15.3%) and anemia (10.4%). AEs of particular interest (any grade) were: cardiac events, 8.7%; hemorrhagic events, 6.2%; TCP, 32.4%; and secondary malignancies, 4.1%. Other AEs of interest (any grade) were: infusion-related reactions (IRRs, ie. events occurring during or within 24h of G infusion and treatment-related), 63.3% (most common: pyrexia, 17.7%; chills, 14.8%; nausea, 12.5%; causing G discontinuation, 2.8%); infections, 45.2% (most common: pneumonia, 7.0%; bronchitis, 5.0%; URTI, 5.0%); neutropenia, 58.4% and TLS, 6.2%. In the G-B arm, TLS was more common in unfit pts (23; 10.0%) than fit pts (12; 5.2%). AEs caused G discontinuation in 111 (13.5%) pts. In 43 pts who died (1L fit, 9 [3.4%]; 1L unfit, 10 [4.5%]; R/R, 24 [7.1%]), primary causes were AEs (n=32) and disease progression (n=11); 15 were related to underlying cancer. One pt in the G-B arm (1L unfit) died of TLS before data cut-off.
Conclusion
Preliminary safety data from GREEN are in line with the known safety profile of G in similar populations.
