Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Efficacy, Safety, Therapy

Cohort A: To assess efficacy of glofitamab/pirtobrutinib in RR MCL patients as compared to a historical control of ibrutinib treated patients within the scope of the RAY trial.

Cohort B: To assess efficacy of glofitamab/pirtobrutinib in TN elderly MCL patients as compared to a
historical control value of elderly patients treated with bendamustine, rituximab, and ibrutinib within
the scope of the SHINE trial14
, stratified according to biological risk:
• High-risk patients present with any combination of at least one of the following features:
1. MIPI-c high (MIPI high plus Ki67 ≥ 30%, 1)
2. MIPI-c high intermediate (MIPI intermediate plus Ki67 ≥ 30% or MIPI high plus Ki67 <
30%, 1)
3. TP53-mutation
4. TP53-overexpression (> 50%) by immunohistochemistry
• Standard risk patients lack all the four features mentioned above

Secondary objectives 1

1. To further assess efficacy, safety, and tolerability of glofitamab/pirtobrutinib by means of secondary and exploratory endpoints in comparison to the standard of care.

Eligibility criteria

Principal inclusion / exclusion criteria as submitted by sponsor

Inclusion criteria 16

1. Cohort A (R/R MCL): Relapse or progression following at least one prior line of anti-neoplastic standard therapy, which included at least an anti CD20 antibody plus an anthracycline and/or bendamustine and/or fludarabine.
2. Cohort A (R/R MCL): Aged 18 years or older.
3. Cohort B (elderly TN MCL): Previously untreated.
4. Cohort B (elderly TN MCL): Age ≥ 65 years or ≥ 60 years who are in the opinion of the investigator not suited for intensive, cytarabine and platinum-based induction treatment regimens

8. ECOG performance status ≤ 2
9. The patient is able to take oral medications
10. The following laboratory values at screening (unless related to MCL) : Platelets ≥75,000 cells/μL (≥50,000 cells/μL required if caused by bone marrow involvement or splenomegaly due to MCL), independent of transfusions within 7 days of Screening assessment.Hemoglobin ≥ 8 g/dL or ≥ 6 g/dL in patients with documented bone marrow involvement considered to impair hematopoiesis. Calculated creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min. Transaminases (AST and ALT) ≤ 3 x ULN. Total Bilirubin ≤ 1.5 x ULN or ≤ 3 x ULN with documented Gilbert-MeulengrachtSyndrome or liver involvement by MCL. aPTT and PT ≤1.5 x ULN, unless explained by concomitant anticoagulant medication, and in the opinion of the investigator not associated with an increased bleeding risk.
11. Adequate cardiopulmonary function defined as: cardiac ejection fraction ≥ 45% at all assessments within the last 12 months from screening, no evidence of pericardial effusion as determined by echocardiography; no clinically significant pleural effusion; baseline oxygen saturation > 92% on room air
12. No evidence of CNS-disease
13. Written informed consent form according to ICH/ E6 (R2) CTR and national regulations, ability to follow study instructions and likely to attend and complete all required visits.
14. Sexually active men and women of child-bearing potential must agree to use one of the highly effective contraceptive methods (combined oral contraceptives using two hormones, progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation, contraceptive implants, injectables, intrauterine devices, sterilized partner) together with one of the barrier methods (latex condoms, diaphragms, contraceptive caps) while on study; this should be maintained for 6 months after the last dose of study drug
15. Negative serum or urine pregnancy test (Females of childbearing potential only, females who have undergone surgical sterilization or who have been postmenopausal for at least 2 years are not considered to be of childbearing potential. A postmenopausal state is defined as no menses for 12 months without an alternative medical cause. A high follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) level in the postmenopausal range may be used to confirm a postmenopausal state in women not using hormonal contraception or hormonal replacement therapy. However in the absence of 12 months of amenorrhea, a single FSH measurement is insufficient).
16. Availability of tissue samples for central pathology review

Exclusion criteria 30

1. Known history of hypersensitivity to the investigational drug or to drugs with a similar chemical structure
2. Simultaneously active participation in another clinical study involving an investigational medicinal product within 30 days prior to enrolment
3. Subjects with a physical or psychiatric condition which at the investigator’s discretion may put the subject at risk, may confound the study results, or may interfere with the subject’s participation in this clinical study
4. Known or persistent abuse of medication, drugs, or alcohol.
5. Serious concomitant disease interfering with a regular therapy according to the study protocol: Clinically significant cardiovascular disease such as symptomatic arrhythmias, congestive heart failure, unstable angina, myocardial infarction, cardiac angioplasty or stenting within 12 months of Screening, or any Class 3 (moderate) or Class 4 (severe) cardiac disease as defined by the New York Heart Association Functional Classification
6. Prolongation of the QT interval corrected for heart rate (QTcF) > 470 msec on at least 2/3 consecutive electrocardiograms (ECGs), and mean QTcF > > 470 msec on all 3 ECGs, during screening. QTcF is calculated using Fridericia’s formula (QTcF): QTcF = QT/(RR*0.33)

Primary endpoints 1

1. The primary endpoint is progression-free survival status 24 months from treatment start and will be analyzed by cohort and stratum (cohort A, cohort B high-risk, and cohort B standard-risk). Analysis will be performed on a modified ITT population: eligible patients who received at least one dose of any IMP.

Secondary endpoints 8

1. Progression free survival time from treatment start
2. Complete remission rate (CR) and overall response rate (ORR: CR, PR) 8 months from treatment start (after completion of glofitamab-treatment, prior to cycle 13) and approximately 24 months (prior to cycle 30) from treatment start.
3. Rate of PET negative CR (complete metabolic response rate, Lugano criteria) 8 months from treatment start (after completion of glofitamab-treatment prior to cycle 13) and 24 months (prior to cycle 30) from treatment start
4. Best response, time to best response, time to first response from treatment start
5. Duration of response.
6. Duration of CR
7. Overall survival (OS) time from treatment start
8. Safety: adverse events, serious adverse events, toxicities (CTCAE v5.0 and ASTCT 2019 for CRS/ICANS)
