Abstract

Background: The combination of venetoclax (ven), the first-generation BCL2 apoptosis regulator (BCL2) inhibitor, and ibrutinib, a BTK inhibitor, has demonstrated efficacy in patients with CLL (Wierda et al. J Clin Oncol. 2021). However, the toxicity profile of this regimen suggests a need for a more tolerable combination of BTK and BCL2 inhibitors. Sonrotoclax, a next-generation BCL2 inhibitor, is a more selective and more pharmacologically potent inhibitor of BCL2 than ven. Zanubrutinib, a nextgeneration BTK inhibitor, significantly improved PFS and had a more tolerable safety profile, including fewer cardiac adverse events, vs ibrutinib in a randomized, head-to-head study of patients with CLL/SLL (Brown et al. N Engl J Med. 2023). In a phase 1 study in patients with TN CLL treated with sonrotoclax + zanubrutinib, efficacy data was promising, with ORR and 1-year progression-free survival (PFS) rate of 100% and deep responses on the basis of undetectable measurable residual disease at <10-4 sensitivity (uMRD4). The most common grade >=3 TEAE was neutropenia, and no tumor lysis syndrome or cardiac toxicity was observed (Tam et al. Blood. 2023). Presented here is the design of a phase 3 trial aimed at comparing the efficacy of sonrotoclax + zanubrutinib vs ven + obinutuzumab (obi) in patients with TN CLL. Aim(s): N/A Methods: CELESTIAL-TNCLL (BGB-11417-301; NCT06073821) is a randomized, open-label, phase 3 study. Eligible patients must have previously untreated CLL that requires treatment per 2018 iwCLL criteria, measurable disease by CT/MRI, an ECOG performance score of 0 to 2, and adequate hematologic and organ function. Approximately 640 patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either three cycles of oral zanubrutinib monotherapy (320 mg daily) followed by zanubrutinib + sonrotoclax for 12 cycles, or standard ven + obi treatment for 12 cycles. Randomization will be stratified by age (<65 vs >=65 years) and IGHV and del(17p)/TP53 mutation status. The primary endpoint is PFS as assessed by independent review committee (IRC) according to 2018 iwCLL guidelines, with modifications for treatment-related lymphocytosis in patients with CLL (Cheson et al. J Clin Oncol. 2012). Key secondary endpoints include complete response rate (CRR), defined as CR or CR with incomplete hematopoietic recovery, assessed by IRC; rates of uMRD4 in bone marrow and peripheral blood at the first posttreatment follow-up visit based on next-generation sequencing by clonoSEQ (Adaptive Biotechnologies, Seattle, W); and overall survival. Other secondary endpoints include PFS as assessed by investigator (INV); CRR by INV; rate of uMRD4 based on flow cytometry; overall esponse rate by IRC and INV; duration of response by IRC and INV; patient-reported outcomes; and safety and tolerability. Recruitment is ongoing. Result(s): N/A Smmary/Conclusion: N/A.
