Learning Objectives
· Discuss the importance of CLL biomarkers and staging in prognostic assessment and subsequent treatment decisions · Evaluate the efficacy, safety, and indications of new and emerging CLL treatments with respect to patient age, comorbidities, and overall health · Integrate the latest evidence-based guidelines, clinical trial results, and cost utility studies into the CLL clinical pathway development process · Implement strategies to improve guideline adherence and patient
- utcomes through the inclusion and sequencing of novel therapies in CLL
clinical pathways
Talk Outline and Key Topics
- Initial prognostic assessment
- Current first-line therapy options
– Selection of therapy
- Biologic criteria
- Fitness criteria
- Relapsed refractory CLL therapy
– Novel agents
CLL = chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
CLL: Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
- Most common adult “leukemia”
- 17,000 new cases per year
- Better thought of as a chronic, incurable low-grade
lymphoma
– Most patients present with asymptomatic increase in lymphocyte count – These asymptomatic patients do not require therapy initially – Therapy required once symptoms, low blood counts, or large lymph nodes intervene
IW-CLL Criteria for Initiating Therapy
AIHA = autoimmune hemolytic anemia; ALC = absolute lymphocyte count; ITP = immune thrombocytopenia; IW-CLL = International Workshop on Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia meeting; LDT = lymphocyte doubling time.
- B symptoms, severe fatigue
- Progressive anemia/thrombocytopenia
- Massive or rapidly progressive splenomegaly or
lymphadenopathy
- LDT <6 months
- Refractory AIHA or ITP
- Note that ALC is not specifically a criterion
What Is High-risk CLL?
FISH = fluorescence in situ hybridization; IGHV = unique immunoglobulin gene rearrangement.
- Historically defined solely by clinical features:
– Stage, lymphocyte doubling time, b2m – Therapy resistance
- Biologic prognostic factors are increasingly important:
– FISH, TP53 mutation – IGHV – ? Novel somatic mutations: SF3B1, NOTCH1

Summary: Fit Patients
- FCR remains most effective upfront therapy
- A subset of patients remain progression free
more than 10 yrs:
– Mutated IGHV, low risk FISH
- Key predictors of outcome after therapy:
– 17p / TP53 mutn – 11q deletion and IGHV mutation status – Response (CR) and MRD status
First-line Treatment of CLL
CALGB = Cancer and Leukemia Group B Eichhorst BF, et al. Blood. 2011 Feb 10;117(6):1817-21.
- For physically fit patients, FCR prolongs survival
- Until recently, no “standard” treatment in elderly population
– Phase 3 CLL elderly trial: fludarabine vs chlorambucil
Fludarabine NOT superior to chlorambucil in PFS or OS
– Chlor
– Retrospective analysis of CALGB first-line CLL trials
- No benefit of fludarabine over chlorambucil in patients age ≥70 yrs
- Rituximab added benefit regardless of age

Summary: Unfit Patients
- Randomized phase 3 trials establish PFS benefit of adding
anti-CD20 antibody to chlorambucil
- Only obinutuzumab has been compared head-to-head with
rituximab, with improved MRD negativity and PFS—but not improved OS
- Time to next therapy quite good for 6 months of well-
tolerated treatment VS
- Kinase inhibitors likely to move into this space where
resources permit
– How should therapy be selected?

Ibrutinib for Upfront Therapy of 17p Deleted CLL:
- Clearly the drug of choice given current data
– But unsatisfying as a single agent given the continuous relapse and Richter’s seen in any trial with reasonably long follow-up….
- BUT still no combination data in an upfront
setting
- 17p remains an unmet need not yet adequately
addressed…
- SCT still needs to be considered

Ibrutinib for Upfront Therapy: What Are the Issues?
- Only data in a non-representative population of
very healthy older patients with low disease burden and disease risk, short follow-up, and a very poor comparator arm
- Patients all 65 or over—but low comorbidity
- Toxicity is not negligible even in this population (afib,
hemorrhage, arthralgia)

- Median PFS and OS for entire cohort were 36 months and NR, respectively
(median follow-up 17 months)
- PFS was not significantly different based on use in front-line vs relapsed
(P=0.27) or commercial use vs clinical trial (P=0.14)
- In multivariable model, complex karyotype validated as independent predictor
- f PFS (HR 1.6, CI 1.1-2.5, P=0.04) but not OS (HR 1.6, CI 0.9-3.1, P=0.1)
Bleeding Events by Time to New Event Onset in PCYC-1102
- In PCYC-1102, major bleeding occurred in 5% of patients

Conclusions: Ibrutinib in R/R CLL
- Ibrutinib in R/R CLL has excellent results, mostly PRs (not a cure)
– Median PFS 52 mos on clinical trial
- Worse for 17p, complex karyotype, 11q
- BUT: outside trials, 40% stop in 14 mos, mostly due to adverse events,
and median PFS is 36 mos
– Real-world outcomes are not aligning with trials – Better management strategies for toxicity, and/or less toxic BTK inhibitors, may be needed
- Those patients who progress on drug have been difficult to salvage
– RT about 30-50% of the time in the relapsed setting, although randomized trials are balanced so far – Frequent BTK Cys481 mutations
- Next-generation drugs: more specific; target BTK
Cys mutation
Ibrutinib for Upfront Therapy: What Are the Issues?
- NO data in young fit patients to whom RESONATE-2
data are being generalized
– Who often do not want indefinite therapy – Who do not achieve CR much less MRD negativity – Who if maintained on ibrutinib may be hard to salvage on relapse
- No data that CIT can be used later
– Cost and compliance are huge issues

Efficacy Per Independent Review
Jones J, et al. EHA Annual Meeting 2016. Copenhagen, Denmark; June 9-16, 2016. Abstract 637.
Data as of June 10, 2016
- Median DoR, PFS, and OS had not been reached after 11.8 months of follow-up
- Estimated 12 month PFS for all patients: 80% (95% CI: 67%, 89%)
Venetoclax
- Venetoclax as a single agent has an ORR 76%, CR 22%
and 15% BM MRD negativity in heavily pretreated relapsed refractory patients
– DOR is much higher if CR or MRD negativity
- Activity is preserved in del17p patients and those who
have progressed on ibrutinib or idelalisib
- Clinical care required due to TLS
- No data yet in the upfront setting
- Resistance likely to emerge
– ? Early signal of excess Richter’s transformation
PI3K Signaling Pathway as a Target in B Cells
Where Does Idelalisib Stand?
- Highly active in R/R (and untreated) CLL
- Several categories of toxicity:
– Autoimmune: transaminitis, diarrhea/colitis, and pneumonitis – Neutropenia and sepsis (primary cause of infectious deaths on halted upfront trials): less common without BR, monitor and use growth factor – Opportunistic infections: PJP, CMV
- With current information, idelalisib use in CLL is limited to
the relapsed refractory setting and after ibrutinib
– Yet very limited data on response after ibrutinib, where we clearly need it

Where Are We?
- Highly effective risk stratification
- Highly effective chemoimmunotherapy
- 3 classes of oral targeted inhibitors, mostly approved
as single agents given continuously
- Very limited data on whether sequential therapy will
work and in what order
– Including whether CIT will work after novel agent therapy upfront
- Very limited data on combinations or time limited
therapy, or outcomes after discontinuation for progression or adverse events
- Short follow-up
Relapsed Therapy for CLL
- If ibrutinib naïve: then ibrutinib
– Could change with expected expanded venetoclax label – For patients with very long response to prior chemoimmunotherapy and no adverse prognostic markers, can consider repeat CIT
- If progressed on ibrutinib: then venetoclax
- If off ibrutinib for adverse event: idelalisib, venetoclax

Should Biologic Agents Replace Chemo?
- PROs:
- Oral
- Well tolerated (mostly!)
- Highly effective even in
high-risk disease
– Efficacy difference from chemo is most marked in relapsed setting – Randomized trials are assessing the upfront setting
- CONs:
- Given continuously indefinitely –
patients don’t like it vs 6 mos chemo and done!
- Do not want to abandon CURE
with FCR in IGHV mut CLL
- Many low-grade nagging side
effects
– Unknown long-term effects
- Tolerability worsens with
increasing age
- Unknown ability to salvage after
relapse
- Cost

How Can We Address These Cons?
- Risk-adapted front-line therapy
- Find effective, well-tolerated combinations that induce
deep remissions
- Stop therapy after a fixed, relatively short period of time
(6-24 mos)
- Advantages:
– Patient preference – Reduce long-term side effects – Reduce cost – Reasonable chance that subsequent relapse will still be sensitive to prior agents
What Is the Future?
- In fit or higher-risk patients: combination therapy to achieve deep, ideally
MRD-negative remissions (?cure) and give treatment breaks: saves money and toxicity and avoids resistance
- Sequential single agents lead to resistance but may be adequate for older
more frail pts or those with lower disease risk: can we stop?
- 17p - BTK / BCL2 / aCD20 combination
- Older higher disease risk (11q, maybe IGHV unmutated)
– BTK- or BCL-2 or combo
- Older lower disease risk – aCD20-clb
- Younger IGHV mutated/low-risk FISH: FCR-based therapy may be curative
– Need better understanding of which patients achieve these outcomes
- Younger IGHV unmutated patients have continuous relapse with FCR but
- ften achieve MRD negativity that leads to 5+ years remission
– Good candidates for combination trials, with goal of MRD negativity and therapy discontinuation
