A Phase II Study Using Ibrutinib and Short-Course Fludarabine in Treatment-Naive CLL
United States29 participantsStarted 2015-12-09
Plain-language summary
This is a pilot phase 2 study investigating the safety and efficacy of ibrutinib combined with short-course fludarabine in previously untreated CLL patients. Ibrutinib will be given daily until disease progression or intolerable side effects occur. Fludarabine will be given in cycles 3 and 4. The primary efficacy endpoint is the rate of complete response after 6 cycles or 24 weeks. The primary safety endpoint is the rate of treatment discontinuation after 6 cycles or 24 weeks.

Inclusion criteria
. Men and women with histologically confirmed disease as defined by the following:
. Active disease as defined by at least one of the following (IWCLL consensus criteria):
. Treatment naive CLL/SLL patients
Treatment-naive CLL indicates no prior anti-CLL therapy. Anti-CLL therapy includes chemotherapies, monoclonal antibodies, and targeted agents with known or reasonably expected anti-leukemic activity.
. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of less than or equal to 2
. Agreement to use acceptable methods of contraception during the study and for 90 days after the last dose of study drug if sexually active and able to bear or beget children. Female subjects of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test upon study entry. Male and female subjects who agree to use both a highly effective method of birth control (eg, implants, injectables, combined oral contraceptives, some intrauterine devices, complete abstinence, or sterilized partner) and a barrier method (e.g. condoms, vaginal ring, sponge, etc.) during the period of therapy and for 90 days after the last dose of study drug.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
