Summary

This is a Phase II, open label, single arm, multi-centre study investigating the safety and efficacy of ofatumumab plus bendamustine in subjects with untreated or relapsed CLL.

Each subject from the screening phase who is willing to participate in the study and is found eligible according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria will enter the treatment phase and will receive a maximum of 6 Cycles of study treatment (ofatumumab plus bendamustine). All subjects will receive 3 Cycles of study treatment (Cycles 1, 2 and 3). Eligibility to receive study treatment for Cycles 4, 5 and 6 will be assessed following the 3rd Cycle. Subjects who have achieved at least stable disease with acceptable toxicity following 3 Cycles of treatment will be eligible to continue to receive study treatments for a maximum of 3 further Cycles. In case of progressive disease, at, or at any time after the start of Cycle 4, subjects must discontinue further study treatment and move into the study's follow-up period.

During the treatment phase, all eligible subjects will be allocated to receive the following study treatments:

1. Subjects with Untreated CLL: Up to 6 monthly intravenous infusions of ofatumumab (Cycle 1: 300 mg Day 1 and 1000 mg Day 8; subsequent Cycles: 1000 mg at Day 1 every 28 Days) in combination with up to 6 Cycles of intravenously infused bendamustine (90 mg/m2, Days 1 and 2, every 28 Days).
2. Subjects with Relapsed CLL: Up to 6 monthly intravenous infusions of ofatumumab (Cycle 1: 300 mg Day 1 and 1000 mg Day 8; subsequent Cycles: 1000 mg at Day 1 every 28 Days) in combination with up to 6 Cycles of intravenously infused bendamustine (70 mg/m2, Days 1 and 2, every 28 Days).

The studies primary endpoint is overall response rate (ORR) as determined by Investigator evaluation. The ORR is the percentage of subjects achieving an objective response (i.e., partial response or better), using the IWCLL updated NCI-WG guidelines. Response assessments are planned at the following time-points: After 3 Cycles of ofatumumab plus bendamustine treatment, after 6 Cycles of ofatumumab plus bendamustine treatment and after the last dose, if not after 6 cycles, of ofatumumab plus bendamustine treatment.

Follow-up assessments will be performed every 3 months following the last study treatment. The follow-up period will last for a maximum of 3 years. Response evaluation assessments to determine subject response or progression will be performed during the follow-up period, according to the IWCLL updated NCI-WG guidelines. Following progression, only survival status and details concerning the subject's next CLL therapy will be recorded.

Interventions

BIOLOGICAL

Ofatumumab

Ofatumumab (ARZERRA™) is an immunoglobulin G1κ (IgG1κ) human monoclonal antibody that specifically recognises a distinct epitope encompassing both large and small extracellular loops on the human CD20 molecule expressed on B cells and binds to this site with high affinity with a dissociation half-life of approximately 3 hours. Ofatumumab induces more efficient complement-dependent cytotoxicity (CDC) mediated cell lysis in vitro, compared to rituximab, especially in low CD20 density cells.

DRUG

Bendamustine

Bendamustine is a cytostatic drug which structurally combines a purine-like benzamidazol nucleus and a bifunctional alkylating nitrogen mustard group.
