简介:2014年2月12日,FDA批准Imbruvica (ibrutinib)新适应症,用于之前至少接受过一种药物治疗的慢性淋巴细胞白血病(CLL)患者。CLL是一种罕见的血液及骨髓疾病,该疾病通常会随着时间的推移缓慢恶化,引起B淋 ...

Imbruvica(ibrutinib capsules 中文药名:依鲁替尼胶囊)美国FDA批准获为罕见血癌新药
接受FDA批准的第二个突破性治疗药物
美国食品药品管理局FDA批准了Imbruvica(Ibrutinib)可用于套细胞淋巴瘤(MCL)的治疗。MCL是一种罕见的非霍奇金淋巴瘤,在美国所有非霍奇金淋巴瘤病例中大约占到6%。通常确诊为MCL时,癌细胞已扩散至淋巴结、骨髓和其它器官。
Imbruvica旨在用于之前至少已接受过一种治疗的MCL患者,该药通过抑制癌症增生与扩散所需要的酶而起作用。Imbruvica是第三种获批用于治疗MCL的药物。此前,万珂(2006)与来那度胺(2013)也被批准用于治疗这种疾病。
“Imbruvica的获批证明FDA了致力于让罕见病患者获得可用治疗的承诺”,FDA药物评价与研究中心、血液学和肿瘤学产品办公室主任、医学博士Richard Pazdur说。“FDA与制药公司一起努力加快药物的开发、审评与批准,这兑现了突破性治疗药物资格计划的诺言。”
Imbruvica是第二款以突破性治疗药物资格获得FDA批准的药物。2012年通过的《FDA安全与创新法案》赋予FDA权力,可以授予一款药物突破性治疗药物资格,如果临床前研究显示一款药物与现有可用治疗相比,可以给严重或危及生命疾病患者提供一种实质性的改善,那么该药物的发起者可以向FDA提出突破性治疗药物资格申请。
FDA是在加速审评计划下批准Imbruvica的。加速审评计划允许FDA在显示一款药物对替代终点有效,且可合理预测患者临床受益的临床试验数据基础上,批准该药物用于治疗严重疾病。这项计划可以使患者较早获得有前景的新药治疗,同时公司要进行验证性临床试验。FDA也授予Imbruvica优先审评资格与孤儿药资格,因这款药物旨在治疗一种罕见疾病,并且证明能够为一种严重疾病的治疗带来安全性及有效性方面的明显改善。
Imbruvica用于MCL的加速审批是基于一项由111名受试者参与的临床研究,研究中受试者每天接受Imbruvica治疗,直到他们的疾病进展或副作用变得无法忍受。结果显示,几乎66%的受试者在治疗后癌症缩小或消失(总有效率)。生存期或与疾病相关症状的改善状况目前尚未确定。
使用Imbruvica的受试者最常见的副作用有血液中血小板水平降低(血小板减少症)、腹泻、抗感染的白细胞数量降低(中性粒细胞减少症)、贫血、疲劳、肌肉骨骼疼痛、肿胀(水肿)、上呼吸道感染、恶心、瘀伤、气短(呼吸困难)、便秘、皮疹、腹痛、呕吐和食欲下降。其它临床上明显的副作用包括出血、感染、肾病和出现其他类型的癌症。

FULL PRESCRIBING INFORMATION: CONTENTS*
1 INDICATIONS AND USAGE
1.1 Mantle Cell Lymphoma
IMBRUVICA is indicated for the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) who have received at least one prior therapy.
Accelerated approval was granted for this indication based on overall response rate. Continued approval for this indication may be contingent upon verification of clinical benefit in confirmatory trials [see Clinical Studies (14.1)].
1.2 Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
IMBRUVICA is indicated for the treatment of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) who have received at least one prior therapy [see Clinical Studies (14.2)].
1.3 Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia with 17p deletion
IMBRUVICA is indicated for the treatment of patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) with 17p deletion [see Clinical Studies (14.2)].
1.4 Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia
IMBRUVICA is indicated for the treatment of patients with Waldenström's macroglobulinemia (WM) [see Clinical Studies (14.3)].
2 DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
2.1 Dosing Guidelines
Administer IMBRUVICA orally once daily at approximately the same time each day. Swallow the capsules whole with water. Do not open, break, or chew the capsules.
2.2 Dosage
Mantle Cell Lymphoma
The recommended dose of IMBRUVICA for MCL is 560 mg (four 140 mg capsules) orally once daily.
Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia
The recommended dose of IMBRUVICA for CLL and WM is 420 mg (three 140 mg capsules) orally once daily.
2.3 Dose Modifications for Adverse Reactions
Interrupt IMBRUVICA therapy for any Grade 3 or greater non-hematological, Grade 3 or greater neutropenia with infection or fever, or Grade 4 hematological toxicities. Once the symptoms of the toxicity have resolved to Grade 1 or baseline (recovery), IMBRUVICA therapy may be reinitiated at the starting dose. If the toxicity reoccurs, reduce dose by one capsule (140 mg per day). A second reduction of dose by 140 mg may be considered as needed. If these toxicities persist or recur following two dose reductions, discontinue IMBRUVICA.
Recommended dose modifications are described below:

Toxicity Occurrence MCL Dose Modification After Recovery
Starting Dose = 560 mg
CLL and WM Dose Modification After Recovery
Starting Dose = 420 mg
First Restart at 560 mg daily Restart at 420 mg daily
Second Restart at 420 mg daily Restart at 280 mg daily
Third Restart at 280 mg daily Restart at 140 mg daily
Fourth Discontinue IMBRUVICA Discontinue IMBRUVICA
2.4 Dose Modifications for Use with CYP3A Inhibitors
Avoid co-administration with strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors and consider alternative agents with less CYP3A inhibition.
Concomitant use of strong CYP3A inhibitors which would be taken chronically (e.g., ritonavir, indinavir, nelfinavir, saquinavir, boceprevir, telaprevir, nefazodone) is not recommended. For short-term use (treatment for 7 days or less) of strong CYP3A inhibitors (e.g., antifungals and antibiotics) consider interrupting IMBRUVICA therapy until the CYP3A inhibitor is no longer needed [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].
Reduce IMBRUVICA dose to 140 mg if a moderate CYP3A inhibitor must be used (e.g., fluconazole, darunavir, erythromycin, diltiazem, atazanavir, aprepitant, amprenavir, fosamprevir, crizotinib, imatinib, verapamil, and ciprofloxacin) [see Drug Interactions (7.1)].
Patients taking concomitant strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors should be monitored more closely for signs of IMBRUVICA toxicity.
2.5 Dose Modifications for Use in Hepatic Impairment
For patients with mild liver impairment (Child-Pugh class A), the recommended dose is 140 mg daily (one capsule). Avoid the use of IMBRUVICA in patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classes B and C) [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
2.6 Missed Dose
If a dose of IMBRUVICA is not taken at the scheduled time, it can be taken as soon as possible on the same day with a return to the normal schedule the following day. Extra capsules of IMBRUVICA should not be taken to make up for the missed dose.
3 DOSAGE FORMS AND STRENGTHS
140 mg capsules
4 CONTRAINDICATIONS
None
5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
5.1 Hemorrhage
Fatal bleeding events have occurred in patients treated with IMBRUVICA. Grade 3 or higher bleeding events (subdural hematoma, gastrointestinal bleeding, hematuria and post procedural hemorrhage) have occurred in up to 6% of patients. Bleeding events of any grade, including bruising and petechiae, occurred in approximately half of patients treated with IMBRUVICA.
The mechanism for the bleeding events is not well understood.
IMBRUVICA may increase the risk of hemorrhage in patients receiving antiplatelet or anticoagulant therapies.
Consider the benefit-risk of withholding IMBRUVICA for at least 3 to 7 days pre and post-surgery depending upon the type of surgery and the risk of bleeding [see Clinical Studies (14)].
5.2 Infections
Fatal and non-fatal infections have occurred with IMBRUVICA therapy. Grade 3 or greater infections occurred in 14% to 26% of patients. [See Adverse Reactions (6.1)]. Cases of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) have occurred in patients treated with IMBRUVICA. Monitor patients for fever and infections and evaluate promptly.
5.3 Cytopenias
Treatment-emergent Grade 3 or 4 cytopenias including neutropenia (range, 19 to 29%), thrombocytopenia (range, 5 to 17%), and anemia (range, 0 to 9%) occurred in patients treated with IMBRUVICA.
Monitor complete blood counts monthly.
5.4 Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter (range, 6 to 9%) have occurred in patients treated with IMBRUVICA, particularly in patients with cardiac risk factors, acute infections, and a previous history of atrial fibrillation. Periodically monitor patients clinically for atrial fibrillation. Patients who develop arrhythmic symptoms (e.g., palpitations, lightheadedness) or new onset dyspnea should have an ECG performed. If atrial fibrillation persists, consider the risks and benefits of IMBRUVICA treatment and dose modification [see Dosage and Administration (2.3)].
5.5 Second Primary Malignancies
Other malignancies (range, 5 to 14%) including non-skin carcinomas (range, 1 to 3%) have occurred in patients treated with IMBRUVICA. The most frequent second primary malignancy was non-melanoma skin cancer (range, 4 to 11 %).
5.6 Tumor Lysis Syndrome
Tumor lysis syndrome has been reported with IMBRUVICA therapy. Monitor patients closely and take appropriate precautions in patients at risk for tumor lysis syndrome (e.g. high tumor burden).
5.7 Embryo-Fetal Toxicity
Based on findings in animals, IMBRUVICA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Ibrutinib caused malformations in rats at exposures 14 times those reported in patients with MCL and 20 times those reported in patients with CLL or WM, receiving the ibrutinib dose of 560 mg per day and 420 mg per day, respectively. Reduced fetal weights were observed at lower exposures. Advise women to avoid becoming pregnant while taking IMBRUVICA. If this drug is used during pregnancy or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking this drug, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to a fetus [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].
6 ADVERSE REACTIONS
The following adverse reactions are discussed in more detail in other sections of the labeling:
Hemorrhage [see Warnings and Precautions (5.1)]
Infections [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2)]
Cytopenias [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3)]
Atrial Fibrillation [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4)]
Second Primary Malignancies [see Warnings and Precautions (5.5)]
Tumor Lysis Syndrome [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6)]
Because clinical trials are conducted under widely variable conditions, adverse event rates observed in clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared with rates of clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
6.1 Clinical Trials Experience
Mantle Cell Lymphoma
The data described below reflect exposure to IMBRUVICA in a clinical trial that included 111 patients with previously treated MCL treated with 560 mg daily with a median treatment duration of 8.3 months.

6. 2 Postmarketing Experience
The following adverse reactions have been identified during post-approval use of IMBRUVICA. Because these reactions are reported voluntarily from a population of uncertain size, it is not always possible to reliably estimate their frequency or establish a causal relationship to drug exposure.
Hypersensitivity reactions including anaphylactic shock (fatal), urticaria, and angioedema have been reported.
7 DRUG INTERACTIONS
Ibrutinib is primarily metabolized by cytochrome P450 enzyme 3A.
7.1 CYP3A Inhibitors
In healthy volunteers, co-administration of ketoconazole, a strong CYP3A inhibitor, increased Cmax and AUC of ibrutinib by 29- and 24-fold, respectively. The highest ibrutinib dose evaluated in clinical trials was 12.5 mg/kg (actual doses of 840 – 1400 mg) given for 28 days with single dose AUC values of 1445 ± 869 ng ∙ hr/mL which is approximately 50% greater than steady state exposures seen at the highest indicated dose (560 mg).
Avoid concomitant administration of IMBRUVICA with strong or moderate inhibitors of CYP3A. For strong CYP3A inhibitors used short-term (e.g., antifungals and antibiotics for 7 days or less, e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole, voriconazole, posaconazole, clarithromycin, telithromycin) consider interrupting IMBRUVICA therapy during the duration of inhibitor use. Avoid strong CYP3A inhibitors that are needed chronically. If a moderate CYP3A inhibitor must be used, reduce the IMBRUVICA dose. Patients taking concomitant strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors should be monitored more closely for signs of IMBRUVICA toxicity [see Dosage and Administration (2.4)].
Avoid grapefruit and Seville oranges during IMBRUVICA treatment, as these contain moderate inhibitors of CYP3A [see Dosage and Administration (2.4), and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
7.2 CYP3A Inducers
Administration of IMBRUVICA with rifampin, a strong CYP3A inducer, decreased ibrutinib Cmax and AUC by approximately 13- and 10-fold, respectively.
Avoid concomitant use of strong CYP3A inducers (e.g., carbamazepine, rifampin, phenytoin and St. John's Wort). Consider alternative agents with less CYP3A induction [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
8 USE IN SPECIFIC POPULATIONS
8.1 Pregnancy
Pregnancy Category D [see Warnings and Precautions (5.7)].
Risk Summary
Based on findings in animals, IMBRUVICA can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. If IMBRUVICA is used during pregnancy or if the patient becomes pregnant while taking IMBRUVICA, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to the fetus.
Animal Data
Ibrutinib was administered orally to pregnant rats during the period of organogenesis at oral doses of 10, 40 and 80 mg/kg/day. Ibrutinib at a dose of 80 mg/kg/day was associated with visceral malformations (heart and major vessels) and increased post-implantation loss. The dose of 80 mg/kg/day in animals is approximately 14 times the exposure (AUC) in patients with MCL and 20 times the exposure in patients with CLL or WM administered the dose of 560 mg daily and 420 mg daily, respectively. Ibrutinib at doses of 40 mg/kg/day or greater was associated with decreased fetal weights. The dose of 40 mg/kg/day in animals is approximately 6 times the exposure (AUC) in patients with MCL administered the dose of 560 mg daily.
8.3 Nursing Mothers
It is not known whether ibrutinib is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk and because of the potential for serious adverse reactions in nursing infants from IMBRUVICA, a decision should be made whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother.
8.4 Pediatric Use
The safety and effectiveness of IMBRUVICA in pediatric patients has not been established.
8.5 Geriatric Use
Of the 111 patients treated for MCL, 63% were 65 years of age or older. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients. Cardiac adverse events (atrial fibrillation and hypertension), infections (pneumonia and cellulitis) and gastrointestinal events (diarrhea and dehydration) occurred more frequently among elderly patients.
Of the 391 patients randomized in Study 2, 61% were ≥ 65 years of age. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between age groups. Grade 3 or higher adverse events occurred more frequently among elderly patients treated with IMBRUVICA (61% of patients age ≥ 65 versus 51% of younger patients) [see Clinical Studies (14.2)].
Of the 63 patients treated for WM, 59% were 65 years of age or older. No overall differences in effectiveness were observed between these patients and younger patients. Cardiac adverse events (atrial fibrillation and hypertension), and infections (pneumonia and urinary tract infection) occurred more frequently among elderly patients.
8.6 Renal Impairment
Less than 1% of ibrutinib is excreted renally. Ibrutinib exposure is not altered in patients with Creatinine clearance (CLcr) > 25 mL/min. There are no data in patients with severe renal impairment (CLcr < 25 mL/min) or patients on dialysis [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
8.7 Hepatic Impairment
Ibrutinib is metabolized in the liver. In a hepatic impairment study, data showed an increase in ibrutinib exposure. Following single dose administration, the AUC of ibrutinib increased 2.7-, 8.2- and 9.8-fold in subjects with mild (Child-Pugh class A), moderate (Child-Pugh class B), and severe (Child-Pugh class C) hepatic impairment compared to subjects with normal liver function. The safety of IMBRUVICA has not been evaluated in patients with hepatic impairment.
Monitor patients for signs of IMBRUVICA toxicity and follow dose modification guidance as needed. It is not recommended to administer IMBRUVICA to patients with moderate or severe hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh classes B and C) [see Dosage and Administration (2.5) and Clinical Pharmacology (12.3)].
8.8 Females and Males of Reproductive Potential
Advise women to avoid becoming pregnant while taking IMBRUVICA because IMBRUVICA can cause fetal harm [see Use in Specific Populations (8.1)].
8.9 Plasmapheresis
Management of hyperviscosity in patients with WM may include plasmapheresis before and during treatment with IMBRUVICA. Modifications to IMBRUVICA dosing are not required.
11 DESCRIPTION
Ibrutinib is an inhibitor of Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK). It is a white to off-white solid with the empirical formula C25H24N6O2 and a molecular weight 440.50. Ibrutinib is freely soluble in dimethyl sulfoxide, soluble in methanol and practically insoluble in water.
The chemical name for ibrutinib is 1-[(3R)-3-[4-amino-3-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-1H-pyrazolo[3,4-d]pyrimidin-1-yl]-1-piperidinyl]-2-propen-1-one and has the following structure:


IMBRUVICA (ibrutinib) capsules for oral administration are supplied as white opaque capsules that contain 140 mg ibrutinib as the active ingredient. Each capsule also contains the following inactive ingredients: croscarmellose sodium, magnesium stearate, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium lauryl sulfate. The capsule shell contains gelatin, titanium dioxide and black ink. Each white opaque capsule is marked with "ibr 140 mg" in black ink.
12 CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
12.1 Mechanism of Action
Ibrutinib is a small-molecule inhibitor of BTK. Ibrutinib forms a covalent bond with a cysteine residue in the BTK active site, leading to inhibition of BTK enzymatic activity. BTK is a signaling molecule of the B-cell antigen receptor (BCR) and cytokine receptor pathways. BTK's role in signaling through the B-cell surface receptors results in activation of pathways necessary for B-cell trafficking, chemotaxis, and adhesion. Nonclinical studies show that ibrutinib inhibits malignant B-cell proliferation and survival in vivo as well as cell migration and substrate adhesion in vitro.
12.2 Pharmacodynamics
In patients with recurrent B-cell lymphoma > 90% occupancy of the BTK active site in peripheral blood mononuclear cells was observed up to 24 hours after ibrutinib doses of ≥ 2.5 mg/kg/day (≥ 175 mg/day for average weight of 70 kg).
12.3 Pharmacokinetics
Absorption
Ibrutinib is absorbed after oral administration with a median Tmax of 1 to 2 hours. Ibrutinib exposure increases with doses up to 840 mg. The steady-state AUC (mean ± standard deviation) observed in patients at 560 mg is 953 ± 705 ng∙h/mL and in patients at 420 mg is 680 ± 517 ng∙h/mL. Administration with food increased ibrutinib Cmax and AUC by approximately 2 to 4- and 2-fold, respectively, compared with administration of ibrutinib after overnight fasting.
Distribution
Reversible binding of ibrutinib to human plasma protein in vitro was 97.3% with no concentration dependence in the range of 50 to 1000 ng/mL. The volume of distribution at steady state (Vd,ss) was 683 L, and the apparent volume of distribution at steady state (Vd,ss/F) was approximately 10000 L.
Metabolism
Metabolism is the main route of elimination for ibrutinib. It is metabolized to several metabolites primarily by cytochrome P450, CYP3A, and to a minor extent by CYP2D6. The active metabolite, PCI-45227, is a dihydrodiol metabolite with inhibitory activity towards BTK approximately 15 times lower than that of ibrutinib. The range of the mean metabolite to parent ratio for PCI-45227 at steady-state is 1 to 2.8.
Elimination
Intravenous clearance was 62 and 76 L/h in fasted and fed conditions, respectively. In line with the high first-pass effect, the apparent oral clearance is approximately 2000 and 1000 L/h in fasted and fed conditions, respectively. The half-life of ibrutinib is 4 to 6 hours.
Ibrutinib, mainly in the form of metabolites, is eliminated primarily via feces. After a single oral administration of radiolabeled [14C]-ibrutinib in healthy subjects, approximately 90% of radioactivity was excreted within 168 hours, with the majority (80%) excreted in the feces and less than 10% accounted for in urine. Unchanged ibrutinib accounted for approximately 1% of the radiolabeled excretion product in feces and none in urine, with the remainder of the dose being metabolites.
Age
Age (37 to 84 years) does not alter ibrutinib systemic clearance.
Gender
Gender does not alter ibrutinib systemic clearance.
Renal Impairment
Ibrutinib is not significantly cleared renally; urinary excretion of metabolites is < 10% of the dose. Creatinine clearance > 25 mL/min had no influence on the exposure to IMBRUVICA. There are no data in patients with severe renal impairment (CLcr < 25 mL/min) or in patients on dialysis.
Hepatic Impairment
Ibrutinib is metabolized in the liver. In a hepatic impairment trial, a single dose of 140 mg of IMBRUVICA was administered in non-cancer subjects. Ibrutinib AUC increased 2.7-, 8.2- and 9.8-fold, respectively, in subjects with mild (n=6), moderate (n=10) and severe (n=8) hepatic impairment relative to subjects with normal liver function. Ibrutinib Cmax increased 5.2-, 8.8- and 7.0-fold, respectively, in subjects with mild, moderate and severe hepatic impairment relative to subjects with normal liver function [see Use in Specific Populations (8.7)].
Drug Interactions
Coadministration of Ibrutinib with CYP3A Inhibitors
In a sequential design trial of 18 healthy, fasted volunteers, a single dose of 120 mg of IMBRUVICA was administered alone on Day 1 and a single dose of 40 mg of IMBRUVICA was administered on Day 7 in combination with 400 mg of ketoconazole (given daily on Days 4 – 9). Ketoconazole increased ibrutinib dose-normalized Cmax and AUC 29-fold and 24-fold, respectively. Simulations using fasted conditions indicate that moderate CYP3A inhibitors diltiazem and erythromycin may increase AUC of ibrutinib by 5- to 8-fold.
Coadministration of Ibrutinib with CYP3A Inducers
PK data from a dedicated drug interaction trial showed that rifampin (a strong CYP3A inducer) decreases ibrutinib Cmax and AUC by more than 13- and 10-fold. Simulations using PBPK suggested that a moderate CYP3A inducer (efavirenz) may decrease the AUC of ibrutinib by up to 3-fold.
Coadministration of Ibrutinib with CYP Substrates
In vitro studies indicated that ibrutinib (I/Ki < 0.07 using mean Cmax at 560 mg) and PCI-45227 (I/Ki < 0.03) are unlikely to be inhibitors of any major CYPs at clinical doses. Both ibrutinib and the PCI-45227 are weak inducers of CYP450 isoenzymes in vitro.
Coadministration of Ibrutinib with Substrates of Transporters
In vitro studies indicated that ibrutinib is not a substrate of p-glycoprotein (P-gp). Systemic ibrutinib is unlikely to be an inhibitor of P-gp at clinical doses ([I]1/Ki < 0.1). However, it may have an effect on P-gp substrates in the GI tract due to higher local concentrations after an oral dose. Co-administration of oral narrow therapeutic index P-gp substrates (e.g., digoxin) with IMBRUVICA may increase their blood concentration.
13 NONCLINICAL TOXICOLOGY
13.1 Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility
Carcinogenicity studies have not been conducted with ibrutinib.
Ibrutinib was not mutagenic in a bacterial mutagenicity (Ames) assay, was not clastogenic in a chromosome aberration assay in mammalian (CHO) cells, nor was it clastogenic in an in vivo bone marrow micronucleus assay in mice at doses up to 2000 mg/kg.
Fertility studies with ibrutinib have not been conducted in animals. In the general toxicology studies conducted in rats and dogs, orally administered ibrutinib did not result in adverse effects on reproductive organs.
14 CLINICAL STUDIES
14.1 Mantle Cell Lymphoma
The safety and efficacy of IMBRUVICA in patients with MCL who have received at least one prior therapy were evaluated in an open-label, multi-center, single-arm trial of 111 previously treated patients. The median age was 68 years (range, 40 to 84 years), 77% were male, and 92% were Caucasian. At baseline, 89% of patients had a baseline ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. The median time since diagnosis was 42 months, and median number of prior treatments was 3 (range, 1 to 5 treatments), including 11% with prior stem cell transplant. At baseline, 39% of subjects had at least one tumor ≥ 5 cm, 49% had bone marrow involvement, and 54% had extranodal involvement at screening.
IMBRUVICA was administered orally at 560 mg once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Tumor response was assessed according to the revised International Working Group (IWG) for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) criteria. The primary endpoint in this study was investigator-assessed overall response rate (ORR). Responses to IMBRUVICA are shown in Table 9.
Table 9: Overall Response Rate (ORR) and Duration of Response (DOR) Based on Investigator Assessment in Patients with MCL 

Total (N=111)
ORR (%) 65.8
  95% CI (%) (56.2, 74.5)
  CR (%) 17.1
  PR (%) 48.6
Median DOR months (95% CI) 17.5 (15.8, NR)
CI = confidence interval; CR = complete response; PR = partial response; NR = not reached
An Independent Review Committee (IRC) performed independent reading and interpretation of imaging scans. The IRC review demonstrated an ORR of 69%.
The median time to response was 1.9 months.
Lymphocytosis
Upon initiation of IMBRUVICA, a temporary increase in lymphocyte counts (i.e., ≥ 50% increase from baseline and above absolute lymphocyte count of 5,000/mcL) occurred in 33% of patients in the MCL study. The onset of isolated lymphocytosis occurs during the first few weeks of IMBRUVICA therapy and resolves by a median of 8 weeks.
14.2 Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
The safety and efficacy of IMBRUVICA in patients with CLL who have received at least one prior therapy were demonstrated in one uncontrolled trial and one randomized, controlled trial.
Study 1
An open-label, multi-center trial was conducted in 48 previously treated CLL patients. The median age was 67 years (range, 37 to 82 years), 71% were male, and 94% were Caucasian. All patients had a baseline ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. The median time since diagnosis was 80 months and the median number of prior treatments was 4 (range, 1 to 12 treatments). At baseline, 46% of subjects had at least one tumor ≥ 5 cm.
IMBRUVICA was administered orally at 420 mg once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The ORR and DOR were assessed using a modified version of the International Workshop on CLL Criteria by an Independent Review Committee. The ORR was 58.3% (95% CI: 43.2%, 72.4%), all partial responses. None of the patients achieved a complete response. The DOR ranged from 5.6 to 24.2+ months. The median DOR was not reached.
Study 2
A randomized, multicenter, open-label Phase 3 study of IMBRUVICA versus ofatumumab was conducted in patients with previously treated CLL or SLL. Patients (n=391) were randomized 1:1 to receive either IMBRUVICA 420 mg daily until disease progression, or unacceptable toxicity or ofatumumab at an initial dose of 300 mg, followed one week later by a dose of 2000 mg weekly for 7 doses and then every 4 weeks for 4 additional doses. Fifty seven patients randomized to ofatumumab crossed over following progression to receive IMBRUVICA. The median age was 67 years (range, 30 to 88 years), 68% were male, and 90% were Caucasian. All patients had a baseline ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. The trial enrolled 373 patients with CLL and 18 patients with SLL. The median time since diagnosis was 91 months and the median number of prior treatments was 2 (range, 1 to 13 treatments). At baseline, 58% of patients had at least one tumor ≥ 5 cm. Thirty-two percent of patients had 17p deletion.
Progression free survival (PFS) as assessed by independent review committee (IRC) according to IWCLL criteria indicated a 78% statistically significant reduction in the risk of death or progression. Analysis of overall survival (OS) demonstrated a 57% statistically significant reduction in the risk of death for patients in the IMBRUVICA arm. Efficacy results for Study 2 are shown in Table 10 and the Kaplan-Meier curves for PFS and OS are shown in Figures 1 and 2, respectively.

Lymphocytosis
Upon initiation of IMBRUVICA, an increase in lymphocyte counts (i.e., ≥ 50% increase from baseline and above absolute lymphocyte count of 5,000/mcL) occurred in 77% of patients in the CLL study. The onset of isolated lymphocytosis occurs during the first month of IMBRUVICA therapy and resolves by a median of 23 weeks (range 1 – 104+ weeks).
14.3 Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia
The safety and efficacy of IMBRUVICA in WM were evaluated in an open-label, multi-center, single-arm trial of 63 previously treated patients. The median age was 63 years (range, 44 to 86 years), 76% were male, and 95% were Caucasian. All patients had a baseline ECOG performance status of 0 or 1. The median time since diagnosis was 74 months, and the median number of prior treatments was 2 (range, 1 to 11 treatments). At baseline, the median serm IgM value was 3.5 g/dL (range, 0.7 to 8.4 g/dL).
IMBRUVICA was administered orally at 420 mg once daily until disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. The responses were assessed by investigators and an Independent Review Committee (IRC) using criteria adopted from the International Workshop of Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia. Responses, defined as partial response or better, per IRC are shown in Table 12.

强生抗癌药Imbruvica在欧盟获批上市
Ibrutinib单药治疗对套细胞性淋巴瘤(MCL)或弥漫性大B细胞性淋巴瘤(DLBCL)患者有效
Pharmacyclics生物制药公司(纳斯达克:PCYC)今日宣布2项单独的II期临床实验显示口服ibrutinib单药治疗复发/难治性MCL或DLBCL患者有效。Ibrutinib是一种实验性布鲁顿酪氨酸激酶(Bruton‘s Tyrosine Kinase, BTK)抑制剂。 Pharmacyclics公司资助了这两项研究,并与扬森研发责任有限公司共同开发了这个药物。研究数据近期在瑞典斯德哥尔摩举办的第18届欧洲血液病协会(EHA)年会上公布。
研究者在去年12月美国血液病协会大会上也报告了一部分MCL和DLBCL患者的研究数据,而今年EHA会议上呈现的结果是对原有数据的进一步扩充。Ibrutinib治疗复发/难治性MCL患者的关键结果如下:
总体缓解率(ORR)为68%,其中21%为完全缓解(CR),即所有肿瘤征象均消失;47%为部分缓解(PR)。
所有获得缓解的患者中,中位缓解期(DOR)的估计值为17.5个月;中位无进展生存(PFS)为13.9个月;中位总生存(OS)尚未到达,但估计58%在18个月。
20%以上的患者报告了治疗期间的紧急不良事件(AEs),包括腹泻(50%),虚弱(41%),恶心(31%),周围性水肿(28%),呼吸困难(27%),便秘(25%),上呼吸道感染(23%),呕吐(23%)和食欲减退(21%),这些反应与上次报道的数据相同。仅8例患者因不良事件终止治疗。
英国普利茅斯Derriford医院血液病科的顾问血液病学家Simon Rule教授在EHA大会上展示了该研究的结果,他表示,MCL患者在接受单药治疗的情况下能取得这样的成果意义非凡,并意味着这种疗法前景广阔。而缓解率随时间的推移仍在继续增长,且没有新的安全警告出现,这样的事实格外使人欣慰。
另一项研究针对复发/难治性DLBCL患者,研究者评价了ibrutinib用于DLBCL的活化B细胞样(ABC)亚型是否比用于生发中心B细胞样(GCB)亚型更有效。DLBCL的ABC亚型依赖于B细胞抗原受体(BCR)通路,而BTK是其中的关键元素。
Ibrutinib能选择性抑制BTK,从而抑制恶性B细胞的生长和增殖。该项研究的主要结果如下:
1.单药治疗时,ABC亚型的患者与GCB亚型的患者相比,显示了对ibrutinib优先响应(ORR分别为41%和5%,Fisher精确检验)
2.ABC亚型和GCB亚型患者的中位OS分别为9.7个月和3.35个月。
3.70例患者的安全性数据未显示新的安全警告。3%以上的患者出现了3级以上的AEs,包括虚弱(9%),低钠血症(9%),肺炎(7%),脱水(4%)和胸膜渗出(4%)。
美国洛杉矶UCLA医学中心内科副教授Even de Vos作为研究者在EHA大会上汇报这些结果时表示,这些结果显示ibrutinib单药治疗对一部分参与实验的ABC亚型的DLBCL患者有效。由于ABC亚型的DLBCL患者难以治疗,这些结果展示了良好的前景。
